    Help getting the Henry O project on the water

    Thank you to all the replyers. This is obviously a project where if it's a total loss, im not that upset. Is the general consulting to open er up and explore, or run her till I can't anymore? Assuming the absence of wood, there is nothing to rot, so I just have a real heavy boat. Is this a...

    Help getting the Henry O project on the water

    So if I am understanding this right (with just some research), this boat is basically a plywood floor sandwiched in fiberglass with structural fiberglass underneath that would create the cavities for all the foam? So if water were to penetrate it, aside from the foam being soaked with water...

    Building a wake boat.

    Thanks for the replies. I'm not looking to create a huge wake really, just enough to have the white water crash over the bags and agitate the oysters. There are no wake laws where I live and honestly they probably wouldn't be any bigger than larger boats cruising wake. I just want the...

    Building a wake boat.

    Hello iboats....this may seem like an odd request for help, but I'd like to throw this out there to see what kind of responses I get. I have oysters growing in floating bags in front of my house and they tend to get a bit muddy after a few days. I want to build a small stitch and glue boat...

    Identifying Johnson 70

    Thank you for the reply. I will post those pics later. I also have this pic of the plate on the carbs. A quick search shows they replace 89 and 90 models. Although I'm not sure if they cover other model years also.

    Identifying Johnson 70

    Hi everyone. New member here. I bought a Henry O Challenger 150 (basically for the trailer!) and I powerwashed her and I actually really like the boat. It came with a Johnson 70 with the lower unit in the boat. Engine looks pretty clean but the previous owner couldn't give me any info on it...
