If you dream about owning the best Lyman onthe pond, here is your solution!

She spentmany decades in NY on Lake George but, we are told, saw very few hours on thewater there or anywhere else. She never saw salt water.

Perhaps itis not surprising then, that she is without doubt the most original, mostcomplete, and best-conditioned totally rot-free Lyman coming to Snake MountainBoatworks for a comprehensive preservation since we launched fifteen years ago.

Wereleased every piece of wood screwed onto the hull, and all the cabinetry inher massive, passenger-friendly cockpit. Nary any rot was discovered anywhere. Everythingwas stripped to bare wood, inside and out, save for the interior hullsides; andbrought back to show-ready condition.

Her post-preservationdebut video offers a treasure trove of information: https://youtu.be/r1Li5jHwteQ?si=voR2KK3cnqs4v3ns

We alsowent through her 1978, 70 HP Evinrude FirePower Ignition outboard enginecompletely, and concluded that, as far as we can discern, it has precious fewhours run time on it. We replaced all the wiring, the solenoids, thesparkplugs, the lower end seals, and changed all its lubricants. As is clearfrom the sea trial video, it runs like a Swiss watch.

What trulyimpressed us during and after her sea trial is that, even though she had notbeen soaked-up in any manner ahead of her sea trial, her bilge stayed dry. Allwe found upon returning to the shop was a tablespoon or so of moisture wayforward in the bilge.
