1951 Shepherd 18’

Restoration

 

    This classic beauty was painstakingly restored by Mike in 2005.  The above right photo if of this boat, and dates back to the 1950’s.  The 18’ speedboat was given a new life with Epoxy Glass bottom of 2 layers of 10 oz. cloth, set in West Epoxy® over 6mm Mahogany Marine Ply. 


    She is powered by a 1962 Chris Craft H 6 cylinder - OHR. She has new decks, floors, ceilings, upholstery and seats.  All her fittings have been re-chromed, and several original parts remain with her.


    Mike finished this restoration in 2005.  He has done several restoration projects of well-known, but now gone, Canadian boat manufacturers.
