Original owners see their Yellow Jacket restored

Meet Bob York and son Bobby York see the Yellow Jacket boat they purchased in 1957 and enjoyed in the late 50s and 60s, now freshly restored in 2011. Bob is 94 years old in this video. Hear him recount the filling of Lake Lewisville in 1957 and how he acquired and finished his unique boat. They're seeing the boat for the first time since its recent restoration by Robin McGeorge and Troy Marshall of the Wooden Boat Association. It had been in storage since the mid-'70s.
