Owning a wooden boat was on my "bucket list" since I was a child spending summers with my family on Payette Lake in Idaho. I liked the Resorter for the name, but also, it's utility. You could put a lot of people in the boat, and it worked great to water ski behind. I found "May Fly" on a boat sales lot in Spokane, WA. It had been stored in a shed, for years -- the result of a divorce, I was told. The wood was not in good shape but there were no missing pieces, and the engine had been overhauled a few years earlier. We ran tests and I found that to be true. The boat was sold new at Tobler Marina on Hayden Lake in North Idaho. It ended up after restoration seven docks away from its original delivery point. She's christened "May Fly" for my wife whose middle name is May. I have replaced the alternator, starter and a few other miscellaneous parts. Two coats of varnish and top rail varnish have been applied this off season. The boat was restored to original with the exception of a color change to the interior. We always intended this to be a user boat rather than a show piece. When the International Classic Wood Boat show was in Coeur d'Alene I entered "May Fly" and she received a Silver Award. The judging sheet with comments is available. Illness is forcing us to find her a new home. I hope the new owner of "May Fly" has the same fun as we have had with her and can enjoy the camaraderie of the wood boat community.
