It was 1915 when "Grandpa" Wooldridge (1) built his first river boat to make that first-ever float down Oregon's Rogue River. The evolution of Wooldridge Boats, from the past to the present, was laced with many firsts, like the first-ever trip up the Rogue River in 1947 (with a prop, of course, no jets back then). Wooldridge designed boats, built boats and blazed a historic trail along the way, guiding such prestigious folks as President Herbert Hoover. Of course there's more, lots more. Wooldridge Boats are no longer made of wood. The material of choice is now aluminum, all-welded of course, and the line-up now includes several deep water prop, inboard and outboard jet designs. The fourth generation Wooldridge, Grant, is building boats, and a vital cog in the operation. The third generation Wooldridge, Glen, is President, of the company. Named after his grandfather, Glen continues the family tradition as an innovator, explorer and fine boatman. His dad, Bob, lends valuable advice and boat building experience. The evolution of Wooldridge Boats during these many decades has contributed to the continuity of the product and its customer friendly design. There is that ever present awareness that folks buy boats to get at the very best of our outdoors and that demands boats that offer superior handling every step of the way. The Wooldridge Classic's unique broad bow design is ideal for tackling the most challenging waterways, those turbulent white water runs and brawling rapids. It provides vital lift in these conditions for a dry ride and optimum control at all speeds and superb traction in fast moving water. Wooldridge builds the Classic with inboard jet power for optimum load hauling and incorporates a full support structure system into its construction for the ultimate in durability and longevity in harsh conditions. These characteristics, along with beefy construction, make it a favorite of those who pack heavy loads and venture well off the beaten track. This listing has now been on the market a couple months.
