We launched COMET in October, 2002. This elegant 42′ Commuter Express Launch with a 1920s heritage was commissioned by Jeff Pierce who wanted the sophisticated design from Dieter Empacher to have a lightweight hull built of aluminum. As the owner of Pierce Aluminum, he knows the advantages. She is powered by twin Yanmar 370 hp… Read more »
Magpie is the most detail-oriented boat we have ever built at Lyman-Morse. We had some general parameters that were difficult to achieve, as they were conflicting. The priority was in the joiner work and that it be the best we could provide as well as an engineering marvel with all the equipment a larger boat… Read more »
John and Caroline Macomber have built our fourth 30 footer which has a very similar look to RUMBLE in layout and looks. However, John decided to build a permanent hardtop for better protection over the helm area. A windlass and anchor platform will also be included. John and Caroline summer in North Haven, ME. where… Read more »
COYOTE, launched in mid-June 2001 as scheduled, is the third in our new series of jetboats we began with RUMBLE. There has been tremendous interest in this design and each boat carries more refinements of this new look. Frank Montgomery came to us after carefully looking at many boats in this size range. He watched… Read more »
We launched the new yard utility boat early in 2004, built with the idea of towing and lugging lumber, dinghies and equipment. She is a great ride as all our 30’s are. We simply swapped the engine and the fuel tank positions, allowing the engine to be placed under the center console. The entire console… Read more »
We often give too much attention to the large boats we build because they command more hours and more money, but next to MAGPIE all year was John and Nancy Mckelvy’s new motorsailer, WHIZZBANG, designed by Bill Cook. This is a true motorsailer designed to motor through any conditions easily and powerfully without sails, but… Read more »
We knew what we were in for when John and Pepe Maynard decided to build this new 30′. The Maynard’s built a Seguin 44, MAGIC in 1983 and have kept her with us over the years. As a result of this long association we knew that we were going to build an exceptional boat with… Read more »
We had a good time helping develop the new Sparkman & Stephens designed 55′ powerboat for Mit and George Twombly. The Twomblys decided to use the “old line” firm of S&S to meet their parameters of building a boat with rugged seakeeping qualities like a fisherman might have and at the same time combining modern… Read more »
A Lyman-Morse designed deck and interior, built on a 54′ C.Raymond Hunt designed Hull, Mugsy was completed in 1998.
MAINESTAY is a 42′ Hunt designed custom powerboat we built for Joyce and Alan Boucher. The sixth boat out of the same mold for our very successful line of 42s including INTOLERANCE and RADIO WAVES, MAINESTAY reflects many refinements of a great design and incorporates several qualities the owners liked from their previous Bristol 47.7… Read more »
