This week’s Tuesday Tour of Classic Boats is led by a 1969 Lyman 22-foot hardtop purchased in 2013 from the estate of the original owner on Lake St Claire, Michigan. Wood Stock was restored by Chris Cushman of Androscoggin boat Co. in Maine. Her main port is Halls Boat Co. on Lake George, NY. She is owned by Ellen Serling, Adirondack and New England Chapter. Only 15 known to be made and fewer known to exist.
Ruthie’s Dream belongs to Ken Pepke and Ruth Sweeney who are members of several chapters; Michigan, Indian Lake, North Coast Ohio and Sunnyland. Ruthie’s Dream is a 1974 AristoCraft Sedan Utility with a Mercury 108-4 engine.
Another “dream” boat is Grandpa’s Dream owned by Carmen Keyes, Manotick Chapter. Grandpa’s Dream is a Late Classic 1985 Morgan Hacker, 31-foot with a Chevrolet 454.
SPK IV is my Baby! It needs a new loving home that will exercise it, but I can’t bring myself to that point. It’s my “Art Object” I guess. LOL!”
Here’s one more Mischief …
Frank Allen sent in these pictures of his Boston Whaler along with this information:
I bought mine from a guy in New Hampshire planning to do a cosmetic upgrade and get it on the water. As I examined the boat I discovered a weak transom which I had to rebuild before getting onto the Red exterior, upholstery, and new plexiglass for the wind screen.
