I was down to the shop a few weeks ago. It's a single pumpkin seed style... essentially the Erie on steroids. Should be a nice 2 man boat.

Its larger in length and width. 12ft long and 80" wide and 11" deep from the floor to the deck in the foot area. We incorperated several designs from the UFO into this model and will also create the lightest 2 man layout on the market with ease with the New 2 man "Legacy". Expect 175lbs or somewhat close. The hull will be be very simple and clean. We are eliminating the exterior ribs that are on the UFO because we have found a way to put them inside the boat and create the same structural support. Stay Tuned for photo's. Oh yea it will also have a ramped towing style hull and a custom molded backrest much like the UFO for extreme comfort. Were hoping for a 650lb capacity rating for this one and anything close will get the job done. BTW this damn weather around here sucks. I want to go back to Florida.
