Congrats m8, I bought my '04 off gerrys on this forum. I love it. Use it not nearly enough, but I think it is a great all purpose, extremely well built rig. Solid and can take a beating. Little Marlin Story for you... Last summer, shortly after I bought it, I got caught in 6-7 foot...

What is the approx draft of the Marlin with f225's and genset, with a moderate load, say 200 gal of fuel? Thanks!

I did not say it does not take time. However, any operation that is efficiently run can be scaled to increase production and can still put forth quality....Honda anyone?? You seem to be saying GW are overpriced and of inferior quality. 1. In the interest of fairness, what kind of boat do you...

GW charges the same as top tier boats like Intrepid, SeeVee, and Yellowfin, and none of them have wood stringers. Good enough for you or are you a GW robot too ?? And what kind of boats are the ones you listed? Narrow beam center consoles (my Sailfish is 6" narrower than a 36' Yellowfin) made...

Grats!! You will love it!

When i was looking there were an maybe 5-6 late model Marlins on the market in SE Florida. On the water there are a fair number of GW, probably not as many as more affordable or mass production CC's, but I see a decent number of them. What is cool is there are alot of older ones out and...

Thanks all for the responses guys. I am in Stuart Florida, so MD is a bit of a hike, although we may rent a plce on the Chessie this summer, so maybe I will give you a shout.

Tide- Do you think it affects the ride and roll a significant amount? Thanks-

I am now a reef fisherman! Brutal prices.

Having met, spent time with Gerry and subsequently buying a boat from him, I can tell you he is a class act. Best wishes my friend. We will fish when your 101% again. Be well.

Scarab Chris over at THT is making these now, for much less and people seem to like his product. Look under the for sale sections.

Has anyone had any experience adding a tower to a Marlin? Mine is an 04. Wondering, good vendors, and how does it affect the characteristics of the boat, including stability, ride quality, performance and economy. Thanks-

Gerry- Good luck m8. Give me a shout when your recovering. I will send you some pics of your old boat covered in blood!! :) Don

I would not try this. The bedliner material is likely designed to stick to a clean METAL surgace, not a plastic/fiberglass surface on a boat. You may end up seriously screwing your boat up. I imagine the materials eat into the material to get a good bond, not sure how that would play on your...

Do any of you use any type of 'blow-up' raft to ferry to shore etc? We like to take the kids (3 & 5) to the beach in our Marlin and I really think that I would prefer a raft of some sort so that I can anchor a little ways from the traffic fray. Need to think about size, or blow it up just...

Farewell. The topic is Arc-Tek and whether or not people should choose to spend their money with this individual. For some reason you are trying to keep us on topic..."how many people did he actually rip-off." I think many other people want to know whether or not to buy from this person. As...

Exactly.

I think most would agree. Tell the truth. Simple. Most I think have been pretty civil until Ark-Tec starting cussing them out. So-What? I cant beleive you dont think people should inform each other, we are all boaters, lets steer one another away from business that are HIGHLY likely to cause you...

I can't help it. This post is so ignorant I simply must reply. Interesting in that this is your first post... I presume Arc-Tek is your friend and hence you signed up to 'show' us how insane we are for wanting to know the truth and understand what the real issue is...? His responses have...

I dunno, 350 might look pretty nice on that boat.
