His reason for purchasing the boats and wading into the years-long process of restoration is a familiar refrain: “My dad had Lymans when I was a kid.” Palmer said he plans on using it as a blueprint to reassemble the boat, or rather, the massive collection of parts he currently has that will eventually become the vessel it once was. So I can work off this one here.”īased on the hull numbers, his newest acquisition was one of the 200 boats made by Lyman the same year as the one he has at home. “But this one’s never been taken apart, it’s all original. “The problem is I have all the parts, I just don’t know where the hell they all go,” he explained, laughing.
