2004.003 Boat Type: Outboard Builder: Lyman Model: 16 ½' Outboard Runabout Original Power: Johnson Javelin 35 hp (1957) Model RJE 19, SN 1589683 Current Power: Original Length: 16' 7" Beam: 70" Date Built: 1957 The 16 ½' Outboard was added to the Lyman fleet in 1957 as a middle size between the 15' and 18' models. It was rated for up to 60 hp, 20 more than the 15' model. The boat was made initially open, as the 15' model had been, but later was made with a stern deck and a well for the outboard motor. This is one of the earlier versions, made in 1957 and purchased from Kimbrell Marine in Syracuse, NY. It has a convertible top, forward helm, and mahogany windshield. The construction is very typical for Lyman; plywood lapstrake over bent frames, with a mahogany plywood foredeck and mahogany frame windshield. This is a very seaworthy boat for inland lakes and waterways, comfortable and handsome. The boat is in very good shape, the boat and motor both having been recently restored. The donor, William Streets, is the son of the original owner. EVS 08Collection
