Welcome to the Payette Lakes Chapter of the ACBS!


The Payette Lakes Chapter of the Antique and Classic Boat Society welcomes individuals and families who share our common interest in antique and classic boats. We host numerous member activities throughout the year and sponsor the Antique and Classic Boat Festival on beautiful Payette Lake in McCall, ID every summer. The festival offers members a chance to meet, share experiences, exchange information and expand their knowledge of historic, antique and classic boats – both wood and fiberglass, with visitors. Our objective is to generate enthusiasm for all aspects of our member’s interest in sustaining, maintaining and preserving antique and classic boats.


A WOODEN BOAT…..

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.
