Spotted this while working on a customers boat. It has Marinette emblems on the side. Welded hull and riveted superstructure.

Not so strange... just on the rare side. In its earliest days, Marinette made houseboats

Re: Strange Marinette?
So would this have been back in the 50s? 60s?
Looks like someone is fixing her up. I may stop by and chat with them sometime.

Re: Strange Marinette?
Not sure whether 50's or 60's..can't remember my full Marinette history. But here's a shot turned up quickly in a google search for "Marinette houseboats" and you will find lots more. Look familiar? This one is from a company sales brochure but there's no copyright date on the page which appears to be a front cover. And, it turned out it wasn';t sales BS when they said it was "Built to last a Lifetime."
