15'6" White Jericho Bay Lobster Skiff (2020) - QUITE THE ENDEAVOR

The original boat was designed by Joel White and built by Jimmy Steele in the mid-1970s.
In 2008/09 the boat design was re-configured by Tom Hill for strip plank construction taken off from one of the originals owned at the time by Aaron Porter, editor of Professional Boatbuilder Magazine.
Tom and Aaron’s new Jericho Bay Lobster Skiff strip plank build was featured as the cover story in Wooden Boat Magazine’s Sept/Oct 2009 and Nov/Dec 2009 issues (WBM issue #’s 210 and 211).
Quite The Endeavor’s construction is fiberglass (27 oz outside, 20 oz inside) over 130 Atlantic White Cedar strip planks with mahogany stem, keel, transom, fit-out, seats, bulkheads and console.
• Right side steering console containing controls, electronics, wiring and storage.
• Seat bulkheads added to enclose the seats and enhance hull stiffness. The fore and aft seats contain seven cubic feet of flotation foam.
• Center seat has a hatch holding two 3-gallon fuel tanks, cables and storage.
• Nearly invisible fore and aft conduits minimize wiring clutter and allow for a clear deck.
• Waterproof switch panel for nav lights, electronics, bilge pump and accessory power.
Powered by a 2021 Yamaha 25 HP short shaft electric start outboard that weighs only 126 pounds. The lightweight engine plus the battery and gas tanks located amidship centers the weight nicely, allowing for level trim. Top speed is 25 mph, plenty for this size.
