This boat was found recently at a private residence in Peterborough, Ontario. Although not used for some time, she had been well taken care of by previous owners. Plans to fully restore this little beauty are already underway. She had been restored about 20 years ago, with 'updated' upholstery, windshield, steering wheel, etc. The current restoration, being done by John Hendren, will put this Shepherd back to a more traditional look. Currently powered by a 65 Merc outboard.

Restoration has begun! - Jan. 2004

Boat stripped, bottom epoxied, and painted with anti-fouling paint
