1939 CHAISSON MOTOR-SAILER 30'

MORNING STAR is a unique and classic vessel that was built by the well-known George Chaisson. The boat has an oak rudder, hung on the transom with bronze gudgeons and pintles, stepped on the oak skeg with a bronze keel fitting. The hull is carvel planked cedar and pine over 1 1/4" x 1 3/4" steam bent oak frames set at 10" on center. The stem, keel, keelson and dead wood are sawn oak...  [43 photos]  <PICS+INFO>

1959 PACEMAKER SPORT FISHERMAN 40'

HAVE YOU SEE RHUBARB? Elizabeth is hoping the BYB crew could help her locate RHUBARB, her parents’ 1959 Pacemaker 40’ Sport Fisherman. Last seen in Stuart, FL, in 1995, RHUBARB was docked at the Jersey shore from 1968 to 1992 and then donated to the Chapman Piloting School in 1994. More details about the boat, her history and travels.  <PICS+INFO>

1972 LYMAN SEAHAWK 35'

"The 35' express cruiser was the largest boat Lyman ever made, and it is also the rarest of the post-war Lymans with only 5 built. I was instantly intrigued by the boat, but figured that either there weren’t any left or that if there were any remaining I wouldn't be able to find or afford one. ...every now and then would scour the internet for information on the elusive 35’. I never found anything. That is, until one slow fall day I came upon the Winter 2009 issue of BYB. No sooner had I read the ad than I was dialing the phone to see if the boat was still available..."  [7 restoration photos]  <PICS+INFO>

1960 BOOTHBAY LOBSTER BOAT 33'

"The boat was built by Goudy and Stevens in East Boothbay in 1960 of cedar and fir on oak frames with bronze fastenings. Design and construction are traditional Downeast quality..."  [5 photos]  <PICS+INFO>

1960 MORTON JOHNSON 47': THE SAGA CONTINUES...

I listed LOAFER IV, the free 1960 Morton Johnson 47' Sport Fish in Bone Yard Boats back in May 2011. Betty and her late husband, Rich, had owned the boat for over 30 years.  She ended up back on Bone Yard Boats in October, this time with a different owner and again being offered Free to a Good Home.  Well, here's another installment in the continuing saga of LOAFER IV!  [50 photos]  <PICS+INFO>

FREE BOAT: 1936 WW PHINNEY CATBOAT 22'

"Classic 22' keel catboat hull. Reportedly built 1936 by WW Phinney. Major restoration/TLC required. It would be a shame to have to destroy it. I've had this boat for 20 years with the intention of rebuilding it, but at this stage in my life it is more of a project than I feel I should undertake.  [18 photos] <PICS+INFO>

WANTED:  1950's CUBAN FISHING SKIFF

BYB was contacted by a well-known actor/director/producer who is searching for a boat to be used as a "Cuban fishing skiff" like the one pictured above in an upcoming movie set in 1950's Cuba about Ernest Hemingway and his boat captain, Gregorio Fuentes.  It appears to be 13'-15' with a rudder & tiller, mast set back about 4' from the stem, and what looks like a cat rig.  Click on the link below for a larger version of the photo, plus another of the boat under sail, and please contact me via email (address under the "About BYB" tab) if you know of such a boat.  <BIG_PIC1>, <BIG_PIC2>

"There is original Evinrude Lark 35hp motor and original Gator trailer included in the price. The boat did not change ownership since 1982..."  [22 photos]  <PICS+INFO>
