A couple of interesting boats not that far removed from your Lyman.
Varnished Lyman Runabout
Rare mid 1930's vintage 20 footer. The varnished hull and fully decked center engine compartment are unusual for Lyman - and are both earmarks of the speedboats of the day - Gar Wood, Cris Craft, et.al. Was Lyman thinking about the 'glamour' market?
1940 Lyman Islander

This 1940 17' Lyman Islander was the prelude to the post war 18' Islander - the boat that would put Lyman among the leaders in post war wooden boat production.
