2022 Covey Island 38 Lobster Yacht | 38ft

Chad-M has a unique history – initially built as a lobster boat based on one of Spencer Lincoln’s best hull designs, she was converted to a pleasure boat and is as seaworthy and as clean running as they come. Chad-M’s classic lines and good looks are hard to mistake for anything other than a true Downeast boat with origins in Nova Scotia.

 Lincoln’s influence has carried through to today’s Downeast boats or Lobster Yachts. During the late 1970’s and through the 1990’s as the industry adapted to fiberglass and advanced composite materials, his ability to maintain the classic lines and adapt the hull shape and strength to suit the higher HP diesel engines and maintain the sea keeping characteristics, comfort, speed efficiency, were key factors in the success of Lincoln’s designs.

Originally built as one of very few Cold Molded lobster boats, she worked for a living before her fisherman owner retired and sold her. Chad-M’s new owners recognized in the well proven lines, a fine vessel and gave her a second life by having her completely refitted and converted for pleasure. She was taken back to a bare hull, which was given a refit, then went in a new drive, tanks, plumbing, electrical, all systems, as well as new decks and cockpit. A new house was built, and she was fitted out to meet the needs of the new owners offering the functionality they required (simple and practical arrangement). Chad-M’s interior and joinery is modest but easily upgraded to whatever finishes her new owners would like.

Covey Island has built several Spencer Lincoln Lobster Yachts. We are proud to share Chad-M as a showpiece, exemplifying the craftsmanship of our building team. She is a testament to the quality and durability of Covey Island’s cold molded building process, her hull having withstood the tests of commercial fishing and time, but she is now like new and ready for new owners.
