McKenzies Boop
In the late 1960s Keith Steele built at least two pudgy McKenzies for Martin Litton and Ron Hayes. They were later decked over. Martin’s was called Lucky Pierre and later Mabel T. She no longer exists. We restored Betty Boop in 2012 and liked her so much we took the lines off her and have built two more. Boops are notable for their raised “turtle decks” making them practically self-righting.
