1. The Marketplace Forums can be useful for members who know one another well from forum discussions and offline communications and wish to post boatbuilding tools, drafting tools, molds and tooling, and other professional equipment for sale or trade. However, caution and good judgement should always be used. Especially when considering any business with anyone not already well known to you and trusted, due diligence must be used to confirm details and identity and be sure the transaction is safe before any money or property changes hands. Always use good judgement and perform due dilligence and follow these guidelines.

    I rescued this Lyman for a friend who had rescued it from a barn. It sat in the barn for many years with a broken #8 exhaust valve. He took it to his yard where it sat until a tree branch crashed thru the deck. I told him we needed to restore the thing. I have a big shop and a guy who knows fiberglass. We put two brand new axles on the trailer to move it to my shop. Stripped the hull of all hardware. Sent motor to machine shop (326 wedge now in pieces, tanked). Joel started work on deck and repaired tree damage. He found 3 or four soft spots and started cutting top layer of glass out to replace balsa core. Shop is now closing and I don't want to send this project to landfill/scrapyard. I have all parts and could move it locally. If anyone wants this project please let me know before I have to toss it. I am in Rockville MD and have lots of pics or come see. Please call me 301-980-0091. Thanks Bobby
