Hull Configurations
With the open developmental rules of the PDRacer, there are many possibilities of how you can build your hull. And since many people will be using the boat for other purposes, there are lots of compromises that can be employed to make a boat suited to your particular needs.

NOTE: Many of the pictures and drawings on the following pages are not PDRacers, they are of other designs that could be inspiration for the configuration of your PDRacer.

Sketching Templates
Some people have the skills and access to fancy CAD systems, and use those for drawing their concepts. Here are a few scale templates that you can use for sketching by hand. You can print them out, or save to your hard drive by right clicking on them.

Kenny Ceaglske drew up a paper models that you can print, cut and tape together to make your very own Instant Pocket PDRacer. Also great for doodling with colored pencils to see what different paint jobs would look like.
