Are there any boats out there that use skis for hulls?

    Not if the foils were recessed into the area between the skis a la hysucat, that would leave 2 flat stable surfaces you could rest on.

    Depending on the shape and area of the foils the idea would be to have the foils out of the water completely when on the skis. The main problem I can see is that you would probably have a deep draft at very low speed.

    Obviously beaching on the plane is only for jetski owners who like hull damage but for me the perfect small boat has to be able to pick people up of beaches.
