1957 Lyman outboard boat, still in its original factory shipping crate. Hull No. 46328.
Shipped in 1957 to Eaton Marine Sales, Oh, one of two crated Lymans found in a barn in the MI upper peninsula. The two were purchased in 2008 by Lester Demaline and Jack Lynett from Charles Braumiller. A booklet explaining insurance was found under the rear seat. Oarkloacks, still wired together and attached to a cross member rib were also discovered. Article in Rudder by donor (ND).
In the 1950's Lyman was at the height of its prosperity, producing as many as 5000 boats a year. Also following World War II, Lyman's outboards became increasingly popular (Speltz).
In 1957, Lyman offered 5 different 13' outboard models ranging in price from $320 to $445. These included the Leader (with and without forward deck), Outboard Runabout, Fisherman, and Angler.
