A Wooden Boat Is Worth the Work

The Payette Lakes Chapter of the Antique and Classic Boat Society



A WOODEN BOAT IS MORE THAN JUST A BOAT— IT IS A WORK OF ART, A LABOR OF LOVE, AND A TESTAMENT TO TIME-HONORED CRAFTSMANSHIP.

WE DON’T JUST ADMIRE THESE CLASSICS—WE RESTORE THEM, WE SHARE THEM, AND WE BRING THEM TO LIFE ON THE WATER.

WE ARE CARETAKERS OF HISTORY, BUILDERS OF COMMUNITY, AND STORYTELLERS OF THE WATER.

WE ARE A FAMILY OF ENTHUSIASTS DEDICATED TO PRESERVING THE PAST WHILE MAKING NEW MEMORIES ON THE WAVES.

WE ARE THE PAYETTE LAKES CLASSIC WOODEN BOAT CLUB —WHERE CLASSIC WOODEN BOATS CREATE TIMELESS MEMORIES.



Every August on Payette Lake.
Free and open to the public.

Membership is $95 per year.
You don't need a boat to belong.

Meet the members and the classics they restore and run.

Owner: Mark Allen
