Lyman at first glance, but the edges are to sharp, boring shearline,
flat sides... no character. I wonder it that is a spray rail, or if
they went with a small planing deck, or a full Vee, Just don't know,
think the Lyman might handle better. NOTE, I don't know a lot about
big boats, just like to look at the lines.


Although, it does have the barrelback, gets points for that. ;)


Ive seen restored ChrisCraft barrel backs go for less than that.

Interesting.

This is boat is pretty upscale. Not exactly the sort of thing one
would expect to see being hawked by the folks who package toilet paper
in 96-roll units.


Pretty boat.


Sure. Couldn't even get the Buick portholes right.
Eye of the beholder.

*ONLY* a half-a-million bucks for hull #1!

a bargian at any price...


Cheapskate. :)

Speaking of cheap, I had to use that light the other night - I just
wanted to publically thank you for that.

It came in really handy - cool beans man.


Ah ha! Little LED promotional lights. I knew someone would blab sooner or
later.


Someone blabbed, but someone else *seriously* suffered a lack of reading
comprehension!

I predict they will never be able to sell one because none of the
"sales associates" will be able to figure how to drag the thing past
their scanner.....


i do hope thay have a "pre assembly option" at no extra charge, like
the do their charcoal grills and lawn swings...


LOL!

Half a million for a 36 foot day cruiser, ridiculous.

I'm glad I read the fine print. I was all ready to buy the boat, until I
found the budget buster:
"Varnished hull is offered as an option. If varnished, the delivery time
will be Aug 1, 2007. Varnished hulls require yearly refinishing which can
total $20,000 or more."

Damn.

My friend has a 26 Lyman hardtop. As part of our annual Lake cruise we went
up to Leamington Canada together with us in our 32 foot Maxum and them in
their 26 foot Lyman. The weather turned nasty when we were planning to
leave with anywhere from 3-5 to 5-7 foot seas (quite nasty on Lake Erie)..
We planned to layover at the marina until the Lake calmed down but my friend
insisted on leaving. I was not about to let them cross the Lake alone with
these seas so we left with them, taking the lead with them closely following
behind us as we broke the waves for them. They would never had made it on
their own.

Lyman's are pretty and nice riding boats but they are not bullet proof and
require a lot of maintenance.....some of which is costly when dealing with
stringers and deck work.
