    McCall Boats

    Going through some old files and found some vintage catalogs. This is from about 1974 if my memory serves me right. We were told that this was Bobby Drewry's daughter on the cover. It is one of Paul Angel's boats from Capitol Marine in Williamsburg VA that she is standing in front of.

    Bobby was from Williamsburg, about 45 min from me. Len Lawrence drove a boat owned by Dick Garner, Dick's Auto Parts, from Portsmouth VA, it sat in the store showroom when not being raced. Henry Day was from a rural area about an hour from here. He ran with Ray Lumpkin, who some may remember as a Region 4 notable.

    I had a McCall SE boat in the late 70s that started out as a kneel down and was converted to a sit down by a previous owner. I bought it from W.T. Anderson in Wilmington NC with a 75 Stinger on it. Have to see if I can find some pictures....

    Have to grin at the catalog Lettering / font is straight out of the 70s. Only thing missing is the peace sign and daisy flowers. Drewry's daughter is probably a grandmother herself by now? Considering the McCall boats were hand built from scratch and the labor involved to put them together, those prices were more than fair for 1974.
