Decided to sell my classic 20 ft Lyman (renovating a new project). Looking for about £8000. Full photo history of rebuild in 2012-2013. See Lyman in renovation projects in this web-site for a few pics and a bit of history. Also advertised on "Apollo Duck" with more pics and info (classic boat sectio...

An update: On the water for just under a year and had some great times on her this summer. A few teething problems, mainly with the engine cooling. After the engine was running too cold I removed the oil cooler and put in a thermostat and the engine ran quite hot, so I re-attached the oil cooler. Sh...

Beautiful work, wasted talent if you’re not a professional joiner.

How did you achieve the finish on the front deck, varnish x lots or is it some type of acrylic finish?

Gents, sorry for the tardy reply, work takes me over-seas for weeks at a time, often not able to access internet! The cooling system is via a water head exchanger that has cold water passing through the exhaust manifold which passs over a brass tube exchange unit. The engine cooling system is isolat...

rnb & Rapier, thank you for the reply and info. rnb, another question if you have the time. The engine has an oil cooler and exhaust heat exchanger, but seems to run very cool; after an hour running I can hold the block and rocker cover without burning my fingers! Is that normal for this engine fit?...

She ran well, only issue is not sure if the alternator is charging the battery; because of the speed limit on the rivers I am turning only 1000RPM and I am not sure if this is enough for the alternator to ...

Soz, not used to submitting posts on forum, pics of the rebuilt engine did not seem to attach; will try again!

Hi, After posting some pictures of my engine (Ford 1600 GT) in answer to a question re cooling, I thought I would post some pictures of progress so far of the rebuild. The boat is a 20ft Lyman, which i bought in November last year, and which I am slowly renovating. Not trying to make it origional or...

Further to my last input, the 1600 GT engine has an oil/water heat exchanger on one side and a water/water/exhaust heat exchanger on the other. It is a Bowman marine engine conversion that maintains the engine cooling system as standard, water cooling provided by passing the engine water through a h...

Home at last!

Hope these pictures come out and are of any help.

i have more if you would like me to send them o your e mail address, just a bit large for the forum page.

All best

Andrew
