Default Walmart (Sam's Club) selling new boats for $495,000

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.

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.

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.

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

It's very pretty but other than showing off how much money you have
what good is it? It seems like you couldn't really take it out to sea
for more than the day unless you can find a mooring in protected
waters at night. It doesn't seem like it could handle any heavy
weather and it is too big to trailer. I wouldn't fish off that thing
either. Might get blood on the upholstery.

Wait......I just thought of a reason to get one...

Never mind, my order has already been placed.

There ya go. Sort of like owning a Corvette. Can't take it to the
dump, can't haul plywood home from the hardware, rides like stink,
bottoms out on the world's smallest speedbump,...........but oh, what
a chick magnet.

I once asked a member of the fair sex what was it about the looks of a
Corvette that so many women found so hard to resist. The answer was a
classic,

"Don't be so dense. Most women aren't really excited about the looks
of a Corvette. What we're excited about is how we think *we're* going
to look when riding in one."

Probably true as well for boats like this 36-foot cold molded mahogany
cruiser from Turkey.
