New and used Lyman boats for sale

Lyman Boats, a revered name in American boat manufacturing, was founded by Bernard Lyman in 1875 in Cleveland, Ohio. Specialising initially in rowboats, Lyman's reputation for quality craftsmanship quickly grew. By the 1920s, the company had expanded its offerings to include powerboats, earning acclaim for its seaworthy lapstrake designs, which became particularly popular on the Great Lakes.During the mid-20th century, Lyman Boats flourished, with the 1950s and 1960s marking the peak of their production. The company's wooden runabouts and cruisers were highly sought after, known for their durability and elegance. However, the advent of fibreglass boats in the 1960s and 1970s posed a significant challenge. Lyman attempted to adapt by introducing fibreglass models but struggled to compete with companies better established in the new material.Financial difficulties led to the original Lyman Boat Works closing its doors in 1973. However, the legacy of Lyman Boats has endured, fuelled by a dedicated community of enthusiasts and collectors. Today, Lyman's historical designs and boats are preserved and celebrated, with ongoing restoration efforts ensuring that the Lyman name continues to be synonymous with classic American boating.
