PT ELEVEN foils

Foil kit for the PT Eleven (shown finished)  These are prototypes of the foils we will be offering in kit form. The foil shape (naca 0012) is NC machined from Okoume plywood in 2 halves. We bond the 2 halves together in a vacuum bag and the builder does the finish work. ptwatercraft.comptwatercraft.com
