The Lafitte skiff is particularly important in the Louisiana, Alabama, Florida fishing industry today. The construction of World War II P.T. boats in Louisiana inspired Louisiana boatbuilders to produce this fish/shrimp trawler in the 18 to 40 foot class by adding a fantail transom, culling board, ice hold, and some with outriggers to the P.T.'s semi-V hull design, great sheer and flare in the bow section, and powerful inboard engine. the complex and fascinating world of traditional Louisiana watercraft.
