Lyman 23 Runabout - Restored classic

 

Classic 1957 Lyman 23 Runabout which has been restored, and has many upgrades.  And she has been in  FRESH WATER her entire life.  Powered with a Chrysler Crown  flathead straight-6 inboard engine.   This Lyman 23 is one of the most popular designs with her tumblehome transom, sweet shear, mahogany opening windshields, and comfortable seating.  The boat was restored with  a new laminated stem, new transom, new decks, and new canvas.   The engine & downdraft carbs and fuel tank were restored in Aug 2013  by a fine machine shop.  A new marine thru hull seacock is installed, new Sears group 27 battery added in Aug 2013, and she is equipped with a Garmin GPS plotter, and a Garmin 100 fishfinder/depth sounder.  A Lyman swim ladder with transom brackets is included.  This classic Lyman 23 comes with a 2002 galvanized Venture tandem, bunk trailer.  Also included are two full boat covers with oak bows across the cockpit.

Varnish is very nice overall.   Decks, transom and interior brightwork is  quite nice.  (The dashboard has several small runs in the varnish, and could use a light sanding and top coat. )  The medium blue hull paint was repainted last Winter with Interlux medium blue Brightsides. .  The two small side windows in the windshield were replaced with new safety glass in 2014. Two new stainless vertical trim strips were fitted where the aft hull meets the transom.  New bottom paint  applied in January 2014.   New white boot stripe also added in Winter of 2014.  The stem was replaced with a laminated section.   This classic Lyman will be ready to go and show. 

Boat is priced to sell.  Please contact broker/owner with any questions.
