A short video about my 1958 Henry wooden boat, spent cruising around Lake Ponemah in Fenton, MI. This is a 17 ft lapstrake skiff powered by a 1960 McCulloch Flying Scott 60 hp outboard.

I love it. Growing up, we had a Lee Ships 16" (deep and wide) wooden boat with no ribs, but thick planks formed in a mold. This heavy boat had a cutter bow and a gentle flare, so it was good in heavy chop, but did not plane well with a heavy load. We powered it with a brand new 62 Royal Scott Custom (43.7 hp) and ran it for 9 very busy seasons before dry rot started getting to it. Top speed around 27 with one aboard, diminishing quickly with more passengers. (white exterior and varnished decks like your Henry)
