Finally had a chance to tinker with the electronics and discovered the boat has a ton of waypoints from the west coast of FL. Boat has no name, any chance there is a GG member who once owned a 2013 Marlin with f350s and Raymarine electronics? Anyone from FL recognize the boat? Worse case I’ve got some really good “numbas” for the area if anyone is interested. To bad I’m in the Northeast, lol, because some of the spots look fishy. Would love to find the past owner!!

Thanks Damian! Boat is in East Haven at Diamond Marine if you want to take a look.

I don't think it's the same one, but one of our Gulf Coast club members had a Marlin of that vintage. I don't think they fished much, if any, so the waypoints you speak of make me think yours is a different boat.

That said, very few had 350's and our members boat I'm speaking of did. I was excited enough when I saw it that it caused me to think about equipping mine with 350's, which I did. Incredible engines..I love mine.

Anyway, probably not the same boat, but who knows?
 
Had a marlin of that approximate vintage up here on the nature coast, but I don't remember it had 350s. It recently left. so could be? I'd be interested in getting the numba's if you're comfortable sending them. Garmin or .gpx format works for me. If not, fully understand.

Looks like there were two owners in FL, the boat was wholesaled to Off the Hook in NC, sold this spring and returned with the blown engine. Still paper trailing. Magic Bill, can you ask your friend? Maybe I will post something in that thread too, thanks for the idea!
 
I will inquire within our club to see if the (maybe) previous owner can be located. I never really knew them well and didn't exchange phone numbers.

I think I can find out the answer even without speaking to the former owner. I'll post back on this thread with my findings.
 
epp:

Haven't heard back from my club contact yet. Just wanted you to know I hadn't forgot your request.

If he gets back to me, I'll let you know. There's no one else that I know that can give me info on your boat.
