Hydrofoils James Bond style
 
Ive got some old skis and some time on my hands. Thinking of converting the Liberator to a hydrofoil like in the old Bond film. Seriously though, was or is there anything still being built? I think of the film every time I see one of those Air Chairs. They do cut through rough water without a bump.
