Lyman Boats LLC
We take great pride in being the home of the original Lyman Boat Works archives, including hull records, blueprints, photographs, patterns, jigs, and tooling all used to build these iconic boats. We serve as the center of excellence for the Lyman brand and the preservation of its history.
