Meet Gigi — A Freshwater Classic, Beautifully Restored Gigi has spent her life gliding across the pristine waters of Lake George and Lake Champlain — never a day in salt. She’s had four respectful owners, each playing a role in her story, but her most recent chapter is the one that truly brought her back to life. In 2018, under the care of her current owner, Gigi was entrusted to renowned classic boat specialists at Spencer Boatworks for a full restoration. Spencer brought their expert craftsmanship to every detail — and they’ve continued to maintain her ever since, ensuring she’s not just preserved, but truly loved. Her restoration included: Hull repairs and full paint New transom New fuel tank and fuel-water separator New ceiling boards New swim platform with ladder Dual USB ports Engine rebuild Two bilge pumps Dual battery setup Trim tabs New tonneau and full boat covers Cockpit lighting At the helm, you’ll find original instrumentation along with the classic throttle and shift controls, giving you an authentic and tactile connection to her history. The spotlight is helm-controlled, making her just as functional as she is charming. She still wears her original upholstery, a rare and beautiful touch, and even her dock lines and fenders are color-coordinated, showing the level of thought and pride that has gone into her care. Gigi isn’t just a boat — she’s a statement, a memory-maker, and a head-turner wherever she goes. If you’re looking for a freshwater classic that’s ready for her next chapter, she’s waiting.

It's been in my family for 55 years. The family used it for fishing, water skiing, pleasure on Lake Erie where it was built It has been always been stored inside. Customizations have been made to improve usage. The 1958 Johnson was rebuilt in 2020 as the shifting pin needed replaced. It has not been in the water since 2019.

Purchased this Lyman from a Georgia warehouse storage that had been there for 25 years. The Lyman was all in pieces from a former started restoration. New gunwales, new decks, 1950's refurbished Tee-Nee trailer. Electric start 1957 Evinrude engine.

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.

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.
