Step inside the heart of this incredible vessel! We're standing next to a genuine piece of maritime history: a Gardner 6L3 engine that rolled off the line long before WWII ended. Forget modern complexity; this powerhouse has logged between 120,000 and 150,000 hours, even after a couple of rebuilds! It proudly replaced the original three-cylinder Fairbanks Morse, but the real magic is the startup: watch how we use 230 PSI of high-pressure air to coax this mechanical giant into life, manually cycling it before it catches its rhythm. This isn't just an engine; it's a legend that defines incredible longevity and access to every system you can imagine! #TrawlerLife #ClassicYacht #BoatRestoration #ChrisCraft #YachtLens #WoodenBoat #Liveaboard #YachtTour #GardnerDiesel #MarineEngine #GardnerEngine #VintageMachinery #BoatLife #AirStart #MechanicalMarvel #OldSchoolPower #MaritimeHistory

A brief walk-through of our newest project, the Hood 35 LM. Built in conjunction with C.W. Hood Yachts, this 35' dual jet cold-molded motor yacht is the 2nd in the Hood/Lyman-Morse series. A plywood mockup of our builds is always constructed in advance of the actual boat's construction. This allows the customer, builder, and designer to see a full scale spatial model of the eventual yacht. It allows us to make changes at this point, instead of further down the construction process when things get more costly and time consuming.
