GRBW1,

Beautiful boat! I didn't think anyone could afford to make a wooden boat.

Assume its wood. Where was it built. Woodend Boat magazine did a feature story on the Mackenzie boats. There is one on the Bass River that always catches my eye. I also saw one going up the Thames River in New London last summer.

GRBW1,

The boat was just north of the bridge on a mooring. You don't see many Mackenzies for sale. Every once and awhile there is one in Wooden Boat. I saw one a few years ago in Free Boats section. It was gone before magazine came out.

Nice to see that they are being kept alive. Truely beautiful and functional boats. Did you read the Wooden Boat article on the history?
What does the boat in picture have in it for power?

srhodes587,

I have some friends with 35 ft Bruno's. Great sea boats and easily driven with good fuel economy. I noticed that your front windows are covered. I took mine out in the Harris. They always leaked and were too thin for comfort.

Other then speed what advantages do you see of Henriques over Bruno.

They are both nice boats. My Harris does 14-15 knots and there are times I would really like to go 20+ and not climb up and down ladder all day.

Finaddict,

Nice boat. I've seen a lot of JC's used as charter and commercial boats. They go out every day and they come back.

Srhodees587,

Thank you for comments. Both of the boats are nice. I think age is catching up with me. Going up and down a ladder all day fluke fishing gets old fast. I don't mind it offshore because you are either up or down.

Is the bottom on your boat the same as the 35 ft Main Coaster they made?
