Seller Notes: 
This boat has recently received a new V/6 Chevy marine application engine, refurbished drive shaft and seals and has been winterized. While it sustained some damage up high on the hull from being tied up during a wind storm it is in very good condition overall. The windshield is currently not mounted but it is also in very good condition as the pictures show. Losing our storage space so it is being offered for sale.
Description: 

I am selling this vintage 1955 Lyman23 foot wooden boat complete with a nice heavy Sea Lion tandem axle trailer for a friend of mine. I am not sure that it is really a Runabout but comparing it to other pictures that is what I came up with. If I measured the beam width correctly it is actually closer to 7 feet 6 inches wide across the center of the passenger compartment. He purchased this boat on the east coast and since the old original motor wasn't in the best of operating condition he chose to upgrade and make it a more reliable vessel. (He kept the old motor and it would be available if you wanted to go pick it up as he will not ship it.)So he decided to install a new modern fuel injected V/6 Chevy marine engine. Heinstalled his new engine in hisshop and checked out the propeller, shafts, seals and everything about this boat to make sure it was ready to use. Cleaned all of the interior finish and made it look almost like new. Checked over and repainted the exterior of the vessel. These repairs and work cost himover $25,000.00 for all ofit to be done. He brought it back to Wallowa County and used it briefly on Wallowa Lake. A severe and unusual wind storm came up and swamped the boat and alsorubbed a hole in the hull as our pictures show. We had the boat taken to a local shop and they flushed the water out of the engine, serviced it and got it running again and since it was getting late in the year decided tohave it winterized. All of the cushions are in good condition and everywhere there is a wooden seat there are also cushions thatgo with it. The glass is good in the windshield and the side angled quarter windows. All of the wood looks very nice of the interior wood. The floor decking is all teak. It currently is garaged and out of the weather but the storage area isn't going to be available much longer. So it is being offered for sale here on classifieds board with a very low reserve in hopes it will find a new owner who desires to patch the hole and get it ready for next springs boating season. This old antique boat just needs a new owner to take it out cruising on the lake as all of the major refurbishing has been completed!
