Owner’s Description
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.
Rigging:
• Teleflex NFB rotary steering system with 13.5” destroyer steering wheel
• Garmin EchoMap Plus 64cv GPS/Chartplotter/Fishfinder with GT23 transducer for sonar
• Standard Horizon GX 1400G Eclipse VHF-DSC radio (GPS-enabled)
• Shakespeare 4’ 3dB QC-4 QuickConnect antenna
• Bow navigation sidelights and removeable 42” pole-mounted stern light
• RuleMate 800 GPH automatic/manual bilge pump
System Three epoxy resin, Epifanes Mono-Urethane topside paint: #3210 Dark Blue hull and White deck, Interlux Bottomkote NT red bottom paint and Epifanes High Gloss clear varnish.The boat has an MMSI number and the DSC-enabled radio has an emergency GPS locator.

Great job, nice vessel, from up the road in Chester
Nice job! I am building one myself. All strips are on . . . ready to glass the outside and inside. How did you determine the location of the center console? I ask as I plan to put my console in the center with a seat just forward of the console for one person to sit on, keeping the weight centered.
If you were to do it again, would you use a Yamaha 20hp instead of the 25?
They are a great little boat, and this is a fine example. Well done, Mark!
Thanks Ian
Love the boat. Your crew looks a little over dressed.
Thanks. Agree on the clothing, didn’t have anything more appropriate on hand to give him.
Your gallery is fantastic! Why are you selling this gem?
Hi Mark, thanks for your nice comment. Took me 9 yrs to build (way part time, off and on), will be a family heirloom. Certainty not for sale, does it say that on my listing? If so an inadvertent mistake that I need to correct. Best regards.
Gorgeous! Impressive build!
