New Lyman boats are built with contemporary wood composite construction hulls. Wooden boat beauty without the headaches of wooden boat maintenance. This is a marine plywood build with a multiple layer West Systems epoxy and basalt fabric applied in a build up schedule that completely seals all exterior and interior surfaces of the hull.

Finish colors are Awl Craft acrylic urethane then top coated with multiple coats of 2K polyurethane clear coat for UV protection. This boat is painted in traditional Lyman colors with a white hull, navy blue sheer stripe and a red boot stripe. The bottom below the boot stripe is painted with Pettit copper/ bronze, 1959 hard antifouling paint. The top deck planking, rails, combing and the transom are built of ribbon stripe Sapele lumber. All exposed and secondary (hidden) surfaces are sealed with five coats of clear West Systems epoxy.

The final coat all around is finished by hand, compounded and polished to a high gloss.
