    30 Marlin Question??

    Dr Kleen has it right... that's for the table pedistal. Keeps it from rolling around. The table top itself lays in the forward berth compartment. It lays on a recessed lip when you lift off the compartment hatch so you can still have storage under it.

    Shell Shock: NY Boat SHow Prices

    265 Express Replacement

    I agree... no replacement and you really can't compare it to the 305. The two boats, other than both being expresses, are completely different. And the length difference is closer to 5'.

    Shell Shock: NY Boat SHow Prices

    Shell Shock: NY Boat SHow Prices

    The prices BobP listed were the show prices and the Marlin did have a/c & a genset. The Marlin did NOT have outriggers... the other larger boats do. I don't recall if those prices included freight & dealer prep. I don't think they did. Bob, I agree about the msrp but I always look at it...
