Marinette Boat Forum

So I've agreed to buy the 31 from keldridge. :D

He called me over the weekend and explained the story behind the boat and what all he knew about it. I have to say, it is a really neat boat with some cool history. I've come across only one other 31 fisherman, but not another with the twin 426 power ...

Ah yes, I remember that one was for sale several months ago. It has the 426 Chrysler wedge motors I think. Definitely a unique setup!

Please give me a call when you get a chance. 832-312-9389

Fastjeff,

I was unaware that certain state(s) didn't used to require titles on boats. I'd heard of trailers not requiring titles, but the boat title not being required is surprising to me. For a rare boat I'd get the title worked out somehow. For a common 32 it didn't seem worth any trouble. I do ...

Yes, I'd be interested in your 31 X 9. That's the exact one I'm looking for.

Can you post some pictures?

I didn't ask what the wanted for it today... the ad on marinetteforsale.com was asking $9,950. Once I saw that I ran.

I checked out that boat for sale at Highway Marine. At first the guy said it was a 31' and I got all excited since that's the "dream boat" I've been looking for. Turns out it's a 32' with no title... I'd love to have a 32 (clear title of course), but I don't think the state troopers would be so ...

I actually noticed that after I posted... feel like a bit of a moron :roll:

I think I may be wrong about the family cruiser style being the wrong one to satisfy my wish-list. I found a picture of one that's been converted to twin outboards and has an add-on upper helm station:

The forward helm station on the family cruiser seems like it wouldnt work as well for wakeboarding or tubing. I saw a video of a wakeboarder behind a 34 houseboat so it could be done... just doesnt seem ideal for viewing 360 degrees around. The early 60s express models are my favorites. Is that one ...

Those family cruisers kind of look like a cruiser and a houseboat had a baby. Very unique... and spacious.

I really like the looks of the 31 x 9 boats and they seem like they would be just the right size as well. Plenty of space for modifications or just storage. Maybe I could stuff a very healthy ...

I guess maybe it was the mid 60's boats that I was looking at before... I found a few that were advertised to have an 8.5' beam, all with a single engine, but of course I had no way to confirm this. I'd have no problem adding a gennie and AC to any boat so long as the hull will last for a good long ...
