Marinette Boat Forum

Hello fellow Marinette owners, Well the boat is running great On third tank of gas and almost everything works fine. Except for some of the "toggle aircraft type ampere rated breakers" a few of these broke off and a few more have big cracks down at the pivot point of the switch. The switch...

Thank you guys for all of the information. I didn't end up paying 20K for the boat but I did pay more than most 28' expresses sell for. But I looked at and tested a lot of boats.
