Description: Designed from the ground up as a skiff for enthusiasts, the Skysurfer E-11 is a unique take on repulsorlift technology. Alongside the powerful T-7X Repulsorlift Engine by Daw Motors, it also sports a Repulsorsail. Intended for use by those on both water-abundant or desert worlds, the E-11 is Daw Motors' first attempt at the ancient Repulsorsail technology and another step towards the enthusiast realm of products.
Due to increasing restrictions on Beskar in construction, Daw Motors was forced to forgo the Beskar Alloy of its more recent models in favor of a Mandalorian Steel hull with a dursteel frame. This of course means that the frame itself is weaker than the hull of the ship, but because of its size and general non-aggressive, civilian nature it was deemed more important to make the hull of the ship stronger against damages that the consumer market would be more privy to such as scratches and dents.
The bridge of the skiff is located in the rear of the ship and is connected to the "captain's quarters" which is a decently sized bedroom fully equipped with its own sanisteam and restroom. Throughout the bottom of the skiff, intake pipes designed to take in water lead through a filtration system that exits at several points on the ship allowing for the owner to bring his or her own portable sanisteams or showers. The deck is also made to accommodate grills and other electronic appliances for parties and the like. There is only one level below the deck which consists of a small kitchen and two other small bedrooms as well as one restroom.
Transport of the Skiff is easy as well. Because it works on both land and sea, the pilot simply drives it into a normal transport or sized cargo container. The Repulsorsail also retracts into its base and redeploys with the flip of a switch.
