1961 Lyman 21 Runabout

This 1961 Lyman 21 Runabout is a classic wooden inboard built with the lapstrake construction that defines the brand. The hull is planked in lapstrake plywood over oak frames, with varnished mahogany interior and white-painted exterior. Power comes from an original Gray Marine Fireball Six inline six-cylinder gasoline engine, a factory-correct inboard that owners value highly.

The layout centers on forward helm seating with dual captain's chairs, a central engine box topped with upholstered cushion, and full-width aft bench seating for passengers. The interior and exterior woodwork remain in good condition, with original hardware and mahogany trim throughout.

The hull and deck are solid, and the boat retains its period-correct fittings and factory details. Built in Sandusky, Ohio, this runabout combines the stable, dry ride characteristic of Lyman's lapstrake design with the craftsmanship and materials expected of wooden boats from this era.
