Willing to work with buyer to have boat professionally shipped to your location (but please note, price does not reflect delivery/shipping.) What makes this Lyman different than any new boat is that it will never be worth any less than what you pay for it as long as it is properly cared for. A second new battery has been added for redundancy along with an NOS A/B switch, a new bilge pump, and a new (unused) in-hull transducer (depth finder). The stern has been pre-wired for a stern light if desired.

Extra capacity has been added in case the next user intends to install a modern marine radio and\or USB charger. The current and previous owner have always run the motor with AVG (leaded high octane aviation fuel) since the mid 1980s therefore it is likely that this motor has never seen any ethanol fuel! That said this motor will safely run on modern unleaded fuel but like any modern small motor, you have to make sure not to store the motor for extended periods without completely draining it so that the fuel system does not get mucked up.Īll of the wiring has been replaced and upgraded to modern standards using high quality marine-grade BlueSea fuse panels, copper wiring, and period correct switch gear. The compression for the upper and lower cylinders is X and Y respectively. When the lower unit was apart, the gear case was inspected and there was minimal to no wear.
The lower unit oil was replaced when the impeller (water pump) was replaced. The fuel lines and electrical wiring have been replaced as needed. The carb, ignition (points\condensers) have recently been rebuilt. The motor was repainted with the original, authentic Evinrude polychromatic blue. The motor is in perfect running order and looks amazing on the inside and out. These motors are renowned for their simplicity and reliability. The motor is a 1962 Evinrude Big Twin 40HP. One of her more unique features is her 1940s Chris Craft split speedster windscreen frame and glass.

Stainless steel full length rub rails have been installed on the gunwale and stern spray rails. The Perko bow light has the original late 1950s port and starboard glass lenses, as well as a hole for a flag pole. She was carefully stripped and sanded by hand.Īll of the hardware on the boat is period correct and for the most part, nickel-plated brass, including the anchor guides, bow base cleat, and the stern cleats. I tried to keep as much of the original patina as possible while still breathing new life into her with layers of high-end topside primer and paint and exterior/interior varnish. The literature from the day proudly declared, and is still evident 65 years later, that the fasteners never need to be tightened! In fact one of the reasons these hulls are so durable, strong, and safe is that there are approximately 2000 clout nails and more than 850 screws used in planking alone. out of silicon cut bronze clout nails that were deeply embedded and reversed clinched. All of the hull fasteners used were specifically built for the Lyman Co. The decks, rails, stern and all of the interior wood is made from Philippine Mahogany.
The keel and all structural parts are made from clear white oak, the planking material is made from 3/8" Clinker-built fir that is overlapped at the joints so that it is twice as strong as straked hulls. This beauty is a rare, 15'6 runabout with numerous upgrades and a 1962 Evinrude Big Twin 40HP Outboard in as pristine condition as the day she came home from the factory. The culmination of a 3-year restoration project, my 1958 Lyman is picture-perfect and ready to make your summer memorable.
