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.

During the refit the hull was stripped back to the bare timber inside and out and all the fittings, decking and pilot house removed. All damaged or suspect timber was replaced and an almost complete rebuild followed. The entire exterior was then epoxied to the usual Covey Island standard, wood/epoxy strip planking on laminated frames.
Chad-M is now powered by a 4JH4-HTE 130 hp 4-cylinder Yanmar turbo diesel and ZF 30M gearbox with 840 hours. She cruises comfortably at eight knots, with a top speed of over ten – compared to most boats her size on the water, she barely sips her fuel.
The Yanmar motor is remarkably vibration free and is mounted on well-designed engine blocks with neoprene type isolation inserts. There is no vibration in the hull ... just a barely discernible hum!
Chad-M has two c.500 litre fuel tanks. The fuel tanks have large inspection plates that can be removed easily (each fixed by about 24 stainless steel nuts) to provide access to the inside.
The fuel system includes a Racor 500MA in-line fuel filter. This enables us to trap and see any moisture and/or debris in the fuel before it reaches the Yanmar filter.
There is a very large water tank and a hot water tank in engine room.
The electronics are all 12V DC. There are two separate battery banks. One small unit for starting the motor. One large unit for general services. The large unit is trickle charged by a PV (solar panel located on wheelhouse cabin top) when the motor is off. When on shore power there is a battery charger and inverter.
Chad-M is equipped with an Anchorlift windlass with anchor, chain, and rode. There is a Sleipner bow thruster installed.
The marine diesel heater is great for those cold nights or dreary days to keep the cabin and pilothouse warm and cozy at all times. Chad also has a bus heater than runs off the engine heat exchanger.
There are two bunks in the fore-cabin on the starboard side. A large hanging locker and a nav station on the port side. One large opening hatch for ventilation.
Jabsco electric marine head with macerator and holding tank. The head also features a sink and standing shower with hot and cold pressurized water. Solar powered vent installed in ceiling for ventilation.
The galley is equipped with a Force 10 propane range with propane detection system, sea frost refrigeration built into cabinets, sink with pressurized hot and cold water, cupboards and drawers, laminated counter tops.
Chad-M is equipped with a full set of Raymarine electronics: Autopilot, Doppler Colour Radar, 12” Axiom+ Chart Plotter, Depth Sounder, and VHF. There is also a Polyplanar marine stereo and speakers. Chad-M is also fitted with a substantially constructed stub mast and boom that carries the radar and supports a tiny staysail. Its main function is to enable lifting of the dinghy on-board with ease.
A large varnished mahogany bench installed on aft deck at stern.
