At the time of the listing, the boat was in very good condition as she had just been completely redone. All electronics and gauges in working order with no known issues. Since this is a dry stored lap-strake hull, this boat does have to spend some time in the water for the hull to fully seal. The bilge pump keeps up with the seepage with no problem. Stock #247672 GREAT LOOKING BOAT COMPLETELY RESTORED AND READY TO GO! MARINER 50HP OUTBOARD WITH MERCURY STICKERS AND PAINTED IN BLACK BECAUSE IT LOOKS BETTER!!! This beauty is a 1959 Lyman 16 runabout. The hull and interior is an all-wood construction. Most of which is Mahogany nicely finished with an Epiphany finish. Lyman built their hulls using a Lap-strake design which was later adopted by boat builders like Chris Craft. The hull is finished with patriotic flag blue paint. Although this is an antique, there are some more modern amenities onboard like modern analog gauges, GPS, stereo, and LED courtesy lights. You are almost assured to be the only Lyman on the water when sporting around in this boat. Make an offer and own a piece of American boating history. Reason for selling is not using.

The boat is currently in storage for the winter season. I have not personally seen the boat. All information in this listing including all photos was provided by the seller. The seller confirms the boat is in good condition inside and out. The engine was recently serviced, so mechanically the boat is good to go. It needs nothing that the seller is aware of. The 1959 Century Coronado 21 sits on a 1962 steel tandem-axle trailer with step plates and side guides. The seller states that the trailer is in good condition. Stock #157224 1959 Century Coronado 21!! Newly Rebuilt Engine!! Gorgeous mahogany classic -- only 1 of 20 in existence! This 1959 Century Coronado 21 is a true rare classic. Fewer than 20 of the 161 originally built exist. This is your chance to own a piece of boating history. This is what the seller has to say about it: I'm selling my classic mahogany wood, 1959 Century Coronado speedboat, considered " The Cadillac of Boats". She is only ONE of about 20 Coronado's still in existence, of the 161 manufactured in 1959 with the retractable fiberglass hardtop. Richard Arbib was the designer of the revolutionary luxury runabout speedboat. It has a freshly rebuilt 352 cubic inch / 240 HP interceptor engine, which is capable of powering the boat to a top speed of 45 MPH. The original upholstery is still in incredible condition, with No rips or tears. The tandem-axle has newer tires. Clean titles for the Boat and Trailer in hand. The Boat is priced fairly, based on its condition. The Boat has always been stored indoors and has been out of the water for the past few years. Reason for selling is moving on to other interests..

The seller has expressed that the restoration has been done in a professional manner and she will drop in the water easily! While we will always try our best to provide you with an accurate representation of every boat we market, you will be encouraged to schedule an inspection with an independent, accredited surveyor, and every purchase WILL ALWAYS BE contingent on your satisfaction with the results from your independent inspector and your water trial. Stock #315119 CLASSIC, CHRIS CRAFT EXPRESS CRUISER IN GREAT CONDITION, CHRIS CRAFT QUALITY IS KNOWN FAR AND WIDE! Arrive in style in this classic 1953 Chris-Craft 24 Express Cruiser. This boat has been restored and is ready to hit the water. It is located in Hickory Corners, Michigan, with convenient access to major highways. Chris Crafts are double-planked on the bottom so the first layer used was 1088 marine plywood, as per Don Dandenbergs method. The outer layer is a Philippine Mahogany cut, leaving a gap between planks to allow the swelling of wet wood. Between layers, a coat of 3M 5200 adhesive is applied, filling those gaps. The boat now has a leak-free, no-soak bottom, which can be launched and used at will. If you're ready to hit the water in an easily launchable Vintage Cruiser, this boat is for you!

In 1927, Chris Smith's son Jay took control of the company, changing the name to Chris Craft and for the next 31 years became the world's largest producer of mahogany runabout boats. During WW2, Chris Craft aided the war effort by building over 12,000 military vessels including patrol boats, launches, and rescue vessels for the US Navy. With the end of the war came prosperity for many and Chris Craft benefitted by supplying speed boats that became popular at lakes throughout the upper Midwest and Northeast.
