Need help identifying a Marinette Model

Post by Wick »

Hi,
I'm looking to you Marinette owner/experts for some help.

Could someone please help identify this Marinette boat model on the left?

Thanks
Bill

Judging by the window tracks, intake cowls and paint design it is most likely a 1985 32' Express with a flybridge.

Window tracks changed to black anodized in 86
Intake cowls changed from rounded to square in 85
Canvas line does not follow the raked pillar seen on the sedan and late 85 sedans changed from pillar to triangle with angle grab bar.
Number of vertical window pillars indicates 32'
Late 80s (87+?) Marinette switched to mostly narrow hull striping, wide stripe was available by customer request.
The under the window VHF antenna mount from that era generally had an upper support on the outside wall of the bridge for support.

Look at the top right corner of the transom for the year and serial number.
