Express Models

28 Express

The 28 Express was introduced in 1995 as the smallest boat ever produced by Henriques. By this same time most other boatbuilders featured here had abandoned boats not only in 20-29 foot size, but also in the 30-39 foot size. Henriques saw a market for a smaller, more affordable Jersey Design boat. It's success has kept it in the lineup to this day.

The boat has been available with single and twin diesel power. The hull is true Jersey Design - flaired bow, sharp entry, flatter aft, with 14 degrees at the transome, and other attributes. It is a typical Express model with everything on one level and a soft enclosure. The openness of the Express makes the sizeable cockpit seem even larger.

38 El Bravo

1989-1996. The 38 El Bravo was introduced as a 38 foot open fishing boat with a metal tuna tower as standard equipment. Two captains chairs on the bridgedeck plus additional side seating provides seating for all. A single stateroom forward, large head and shower, galley and convertible dinette are inside. The very large cockpit is the feature of this boat, providing plenty of room for fishing. Power on newer models is twin Yanmar diesels of 440-500 HP.

Flybridge Models

35 Sportfisherman

1992-1999. The 35 Flybridge had a newer look with a molded fiberglass cabin. The cabin actually appears smaller and the cockpit even larger, reflecting the fishing orientation of the henriques boats. Although sparse, this did have twin bunks, a stand-up head and shower. Henriques construction also included a watertight bulkhead providing some measure of added safety. Twin inboards had become the standard by this time with Ford Lehman diesels of 225 HP common.

38 Sportfisherman

1987-1998. The 38 Sportfisherman, introduced in the early period, continued production as a popular model throughout the modern period almost unchanged. Most are found with a single stateroom forward, a head with shower, convertible dinette and galley also on the lower level. A second stateroom in lieu of the dinette was also available. A convertible sofa provided sleeping for a total of six. The interior during this period was constructed and decorated with a rather dark wood finish. Power was provided by twin diesels from Volvo or Caterpillar of 375-400 HP.

44 Sportfisherman

The 44 Sportfisherman came on the market about 1983 as the Maine Coaster, probably mis-named, it was a twin engine sportfisherman from the beginning. It has remained a favorite for more than 20 years, being retired after 2004, replaced by the 42. Changes have added styling, interior amenities and ever-larger engines. Improved electronics, not only for fishing and navigation, but for entertainment became standard items. Interior furniture became more comfortable and functional, to serve both fishing and cruising aboard.

50 Sportfisherman

The 50 Sportfisherman was introduced in 1990 for the fisherman wanting even more capability and capacity. Similar to the 44 but larger it offered a little more of everything from cockpit space to interior amenities.
