8m in my garage

This evening I got my first closer look at Yancy Scroggins' work he did for Jerico last year. It is obviously not in a finished, painted condition. I will be adding pedestals, brackets, two seats, and the drive system. Then we will strip off the removable items for a paint job. It will represent the beautiful work that Rick designed and Yancy built utilizing his incredible shop I had the privilege to visit just a year and a half ago. 

It is a meter shorter than the Third Wheel and is ready to handle less displacement than it as well. It is slightly narrower and not as deep as the Third Wheel. (It is designed for just two pedaler's) 

Incredibly light. The Third wheel hull (with pedestals and brackets) weighed in at 101 pounds. The 8m hull is starting at 31 pounds (without pedestals and brackets). 

It is staggering. 

Great job Yancy! We will get it to a finished quality soon enough.
