McCall Boat Works: VICTORY is Back In Town!!

It's A New Woody Day!!

Victory is back!

For those of you that know us, we name our boats after our kids (I know, brilliant).

For example: these are our kids Nataliya and Victor.

"TaTa" is named after Nataliya and

NICE!!

"Victory" is named after our son, Victor.

What a finish!

I am not REALLY sure how this happened BUT "Miss Payette" is NOT named after our next son, Nicholas....oh well...I will show it to you anyway

I just couldn't see naming a 2001 Garwood Speedster Replica

"Nicci" or "St. Nic" or "Nikelodeon".......just didn't fit......so, check HIM out:

He is a remote Riva kid, all the way.

So......."Miss Payette" was simply named "Miss Payette" after, YES!! Payette Lake.

So.......anyways.......back to my story...........

Victory is coming back to town today.

Victory was restored by McCall Boat Works in 2006; it is a 1959 Sportsman. The boat was bought in Sept '08 by Dan Strong from Oklahoma. He actually flew out to Idaho to purchase a different boat from us and fell in love with Victory on the first ride and bought it on site! (Never thought I'd see one of our Idaho boats go to Oklahoma!!)

Dan Strong is a great guy. Knowledgeable and young at heart being in his mid 70's. Most of us will just be thankful to be ticking at 70 something, let alone, getting in and out of woodies and getting the woodies on and off trailers for each use!! Well, needless to say, Dan called us a couple of months ago and said, "Guys, I need to sell Victory. The waves are just too big for her on our lake for a "smooth" ride."

So, Victory was re-sold by McCall Boat Works in April 2010 to Buddy and Shay Wilton of VA., FL., ID., CO........I can't remember what state they are actually "primary residences" ......... So...they are bringing Victory home.

If you are living in or visiting Idaho you may see Victory hanging on the dock @ the Shore Lodge on Payette Lake McCall, Idaho or at the dock @ Redfish Lake Stanley, Idaho. The Wiltons are frequent visitors of both.

Finally, Victory is back where Victory belongs!

Thanks, Dan, Buddy and Shay!
