Brokers Comments:
This Lyman is exquisite both inside and out. One of the nicest Cruisettes we have ever seen. Boat has been completely restored and has added hydraulic steering system. Almost all interior woodwork and ribs have been replaced. Boat comes with upgraded tufted cushions which were done by a concours car specialist. Over 12 different types of wood were used in the boat's restoration and she is gorgeous in every way.
The owner has ensured that the upgrades and customization were done to the highest standards, below is s list of the work and materials used in the restoration of “INISFREE”
- Replaced all 88 ribs and transom and added hydraulic steering
- 12 different types of solid woods were used in the restoration.
- Redesigned major parts of the interior and all cabinetry was done with modified haunch joints and looks more like fine French furniture than a typical Lyman
- Most all the woodwork was cabinet scrapped versus sanded and no stains or fillers were used, so under approximately 18 coats of Epiphanes varnish the grain sparkles.
- Upgraded to tufted cushions which were done by a concours car specialist
- Hand crafted mahogany steering wheel with macassar ebony spokes
- Upgraded table to Carpathian elm, book matched in four directions
- Dashboard is also Carpathian elm and the switch labels laser engraved into the elm and then filled with a mixture of varnish and gold leaf dust.
- Motor and transmission were rebuilt, and Propeller computer tuned to ideal engine rpm
