SKYLARK is created from the design tables of Chuck Paine and Mark Fitzgerald, knowledgable mariner owners and Lyman Morse boat builders. The results are a custom built boat that went on to inspire a series of similar 38's. The stability of this shallow draft hull design and propulsion system is without compare. The fit'n finish is every bit the reputation Lyman Morse is well know for.
Please see the list of continuous improvements and updates that this boat has inspired of its owners.
BUILDERS NOTES:
Skylark was launched ANNIE ROSE on a spring day in 2005. This 38' jet boat is nimble and beautiful, complete with all the amenities the couple wanted for coastal cruising. Distinctive in all respects, the design came about after working with Chuck Paine and Mark Fitzgerald of C.W. Paine Yacht Design for several years. With them, we developed a stylish, jet cruiser which would be available from us on a semi-custom basis. The primary focus was to deliver a sea-kindly, dry ride; plus a beautifully appointed exterior and interior with ample accommodations that could be fully customized.
