Description

Miss Nancy was the last small inboard Lyman built on the eve of World War II. The donor retrieved her as a gray boat from a storage shed in New Hampshire more than a decade ago as he was taken with her smart lines and (very) latent potential. Although the original gauge cluster was found in the bilge, a proper vintage rebuildable Gray Marine 4-75 engine came from a distant boneyard. Miss Nancy was restored by Androscoggin Boat Works in Wayne, Maine over the course of a year with detailed attention to authenticity of the result. She was used extensively in 2024 for boat shows including the annual ACBS show in Gull Lake, Minnesota.
