Lyman Boats - 40 found

This a two owner boat that has been meticulously maintain as it was own by a wood boat craftsman. I love this boat but moving overseas and need to sell it to classic boat lovers. Lots of money has been spent on this boat

Fully restored clinker built (lap strake) Lyman, engine overhauled in 2005, electrical system replaced 2025

This boat has been in our family since 2010 and we hate to see her go, but we have another wooden boat project and want to find new caretakers. She is a wonderful cruiser with tons of space for friends and family.  This hull is a slightly more rare 23' without the sleeper cabin which moves the dash forward and creates lots of space in the back for guests.  The 23' length is one of the best riding Lyman hulls as she is not too small like the 18' islanders and not too big like the 26'.  She has a modern Crusader 350 with a new long block circa 2017, which has proven very reliable since installation.  The motor has a heat exchanger so only coolant is running in the main block.  The hull is original and the deck was replaced in the early 2000's with a more dressy look that goes well with the varnished covering boards.  She comes with full cushions and a bimini which snaps to the windshield.  Lyman's are user boats.  We have used her and she has provided at least four young kids their first boat ride, including our daughter.  We hope the new caretakers will continue that legacy!

Currently in Water. Primarily used in the Connecticut River. New Carburetor 2024. Paint and varnish in good condition. Full cushions in good condition. Teak deck. Ready to use.

I have owned this boat for ten years and it has been serviced by SLR and stored with them

This classic lapstrake, clinker-built outboard has been in one family for over 20 years. The boat was restored by a well-known restorer on Wellesley Island in the Thousand Islands approximately 20 years ago. Last hull repair was performed in 2010 by another well known restorer in Alexandria Bay, NY. For the last twelve years it has been in heated storage over the winter. It is in the water and running as of August 2024. The engine has had one recent repair, for a split shift rod keeper in the gear case. The hull and topside would benefit from a repainting and sanding/revarnishing. The Lyman is a lot of fun to tool around in and it takes the waves well for a small boat.

Well cared-for, big and sturdy, this Lyman is the quintessential boat for heavy seas or cruising around lakes or rivers with 10 or more guests. Her twin 250 Challengers deliver maximum power when needed but purr nicely for the evening cocktail cruise.
