I've had 4 McKees, 3 of them projects, 2 14ft and 2 17 ft, be careful of any water intrusion because they will waterlog more than you will believe. One 14 it took 5 grown men, two of them sumo wrestler size, to load onto my trailer while my wife cranked the winch. One 17 I gave to a guy and we couldn't get it off the trailer. We had tow line wrapped completely around the hull with me pulling forward with my 5.7 sierra and him pulling backwards with a 4.3 in 4x4 spinning all four tires before it barely slid off. I like the hulls on the Henry Os. An old man told me once that after a nuclear war all the would be left is radiation, cockroaches, and old McKee Craft hulls.

I thought my 14 was waterlogged, I cut two 4 inch holes in the floor. No water in the foam, it was just that damn heavy. Lots of glass. BTW, Whalers run so good because they are light, the barely have enough glass to hold them together, the foam makes them solid. I run screws into the decks all the time, they barely have enough glass to hold a screw
