Page 14. MAINE COASTAL NEWS December 2017 Boat And Ship Yard News At Edgecomb Boat Works in Edgecomb they have this 30-foot Lyman they are restoring.


Edgecomb Boat Works in Edgecomb has a lot of work this winter. In one bay, they have a 30 foot Lyman,


which they are replacing the transom, fuel tanks, exhaust system and wiring. They will also be adding a custom stern seat and then will be doing her annual maintenance. In another bay, they have a 25 foot Ly-


man which went aground this summer. They are repairing her forefoot, a portion of her keel and all of her running gear. A Nauset 28 is in to have her fuel tanks


replaced and in the process, they will be painting the bilge while her engines are out. They have several other minor repairs to do as well as some core repairs in the deck on the port side before she is painted. A Black Watch 30 is in for a cosmetic overhaul, wiring, and changing her from a


hard to a soft top. The Stanley 36, which was in a couple


of years ago for some upgrades, will return to be repowered with a 370-hp Volvo diesel. They will also add a new fuel tank and a head.


All of their storage boats have been


hauled and ready to be put into the buildings for the winter.


Morgan Bay Boats in Frankfort, has


completed the mould for the 43 footer and have already popped out one hull with an- other one almost fi nished. The plug is being fi nished out as a sport


fi shing boat for a customer from New York. Presently they are installing her internal structures, including engine and shaft and have started putting in her forward cabin.

At Wayne Beal’s Boat Shop is this Crowley 28, Hull #1, which has been totally rebuilt. The fi rst hull pulled out of the mould


will also be fi nished out as a sport fi shing boat going to New York. They are working on her forward cabin and installing her fuel tanks and rails. The third hull is in the mould and will


be fi nished the middle of November. She will be shipped out as a kit boat going to Jeff Eaton’s boat shop on Deer Isle, who will be fi nishing her out as a lobster boat. This boat will probably be the fi rst one fi nished and in the water, which many want to see how well she goes since she will be the fi rst boat of this model completed. Once the third hull is out of the shop the


top plug will be brought back in and a mould will be taken off of it. Then they will layout the tops for their hulls already in production. The fourth hull has been sold and will


be laid up in the spring. She will be a charter boat for a New York customer who will be fi nishing her off himself.


Oceanville Boat Works in Sunrise Our latest design for quality Bow Chocks! Coming Soon:


(Stonington), has a Wayne Beal 46 hull in the shop which they are fi nishing out as a lob- ster boat. Presently they are working down below putting in a V-berth, workstation, and the hydraulic room with a head. She is pow- ered with a 900 hp Scania and also sports a 5KW Northern Lights generator. Under the cockpit she has room for 38 crates, with a two misting tanks, another that will fl ood, a cleanout well and a hatch that is set to the side of the steering so it will not leak on the steering system. This boat was started the end of July and is scheduled to be launched early this spring. Once this boat is completed and


launched, they will fi nish off a Calvin 42, followed by a Wayne Beal 46 and a Mussel


Ridge 48. They are also talking to several others about fi nishing boats.


Eric Dow, boatbuilder in Brooklin has


several projects this winter and one of them is a major rebuild. Presently, they were working on a 16


foot Boston Whaler, which received new rails, patches in a few places on the hull and then they were reinstalling her gunwale guards. Out in the storage shed they have a


34 foot Bunker & Ellis which was in to have her platform repaired. They removed the platform deck and found that they also needed to replace a couple of ribs and deck beams before putting down a new teak deck. This project would be completed by early November. Another project they are trying to get


completed this fall, is the bright-work on a Herreshoff 12½. The major project this winter is on a 34


foot 1929 Stephens motor yacht which is in to be totally rebuilt. Some may remember her as being in the back of a recent issue of WoodenBoat magazine under the title “Save a Classic.” They are removing her interior, cockpit, tankage, and engine. Then they will begin rebuilding her backbone and hull. To be able to accomplish this project they had to add 6 feet to the back end of the building, which will house the furnace, but will give them room to work on the transom.


John Williams Boat Company in


Hall’s Quarry has a good backlog of work this winter. One project is on a Duff y 35 pleasure

cruiser which is in to have her exterior painted which will include hull, deck, and houses. Before this can be done they will replace the hardware and windows, replace her toe, spray, and rub rails and upgrade her mechanical systems. Once this is complete, she will then have her varnished refi nished. A Pemaquid 26 is in for a new teak
