been around a while, believe henry o was started by henry o mckee after he sold mckee craft.  reminds me of a cross between a cape horn and a sperm whale.

Henry O's are somewhat rare and sought after by some. From what I hear they take some very rough seas for a small boat. MJ's friend ChathamBlue used to have one.
Henry O's were made by one of the McKee brothers while they were still making McKee boats.

that's what my 16 Mckee was to begin with, the previous owner took teh dual consoles off an added a center console, I replaced the console with a nicer one, I hope to have mine ready for water within the week

Neighbor down the road has 2 of them, a center console and a dual console.  Swears by them.  Has gone a lot further offshore than I would in a 17 foot boat.

Ues I have 2 friends that had them, one still does. They are great little boats and take the ruff water great!! I hate to say it but that 17 footer took the ruff better then my V20 use to! They also have a 22 footer! But they are both rare finds for sure!!
