Kyle shared a picture with us of his sweet old Wooldridge Drift boat! Looks awesome!
One of the first widely produced aluminum boats Glen Sr. made back in the day was the drift boat.

Yesterday was Bob Wooldridge's 94th Birthday! Bob has always been a huge part of the business here, and is still going strong today. He's known to make his way around the factory looking things over, checking in with the shop workers and telling jokes as he goes along. Have a Blessed Year ahead Bob!...
