I got this boat hull off a member here for free about a year n a half ago. I was gonna do a complete step by step restore thread but I figgered it was gonna be a long process and didn't wanna bore yall.
its a 1989 Henry-O 17'
When I got her, she was in rough shape as shown in the first photo,,, her hull is foam filled and was saturated with water, after cutting the floor out and digging all the wet foam out she was given a new floor and re foamed by a local fiberglass shop.
After around 500 hours of work I finished her this past week with a total investment of close to 5k.
every thing is new except for:
the motor ,( its a 98 90hp Johnson that's been completely rebuilt and had a 5" extension added),
a used console and bait tank off craigs list
and the trailer that's been completely rebuilt.
Cant wait to take her to Port St Joe to do some trout n red fishin!!
