Lyman 318

Award Winning Classic Motor Yacht Lyman 30' Express Cruiser. There are not many of these in this condition still around, especially on the East Coast. Professionally restored from the ground up in the late 2000s including a West Systems bottom. This boat has won antique boat awards on the Great Lakes. She has spent most of her life in freshwater. Full teak decks. Port engine rebuilt within the past 4 years. Too many recent updates and upgrades to list, but some include full new full canvas ($5000) also covering windows to prevent leaks, professional plank replacement, rebuilt port engine, new starters, new strainers, new manifolds, new bilge pumps. Receipts for all upgrades and maintenance. Recently insured for $50,000. However, a wooden boat requires regular maintenance and work and our limited use of her recently means that it's time for someone else to enjoy her. Boat is currently at a very friendly marina that can assist with readying for launch or lifting onto your trailer. Engines are winterized. Please note that boat is being sold as-is, where-is. This is an antique wooden boat that requires regular maintenance. For example, a small section of one plank (~ 1 ft. wide) has already been removed and needs to be replaced on the starboard side prior to launch. If you are handy, you can sister this in yourself with an 8:1 bevel on each side, epoxy, and bronze fasteners. Otherwise I can provide you with the contact information for a local professional who can do the work. This is a relatively minor job (~ $450 for 1-2 days labor based on experience), and it wouldn't take much at all to enjoy the boat this summer.I hate to have to include this, but your bid constitutes a legal contract that must be executed if you are the winning bidder. Do not place a "window shopping" bid for this item unless you intend to follow through with purchase. Bidding and not following through with the purchase constitutes a breach of a legal contract. I take this seriously. Bidders who do not complete purchase may be legally liable outside of the classifieds board marketplace, and will be reported to classifieds board to have their bidding privileges banned. Finally, please note that you must contact me with any questions prior to placing a bid.
