RE: Anyone familiar with Mariner Yachts?

Adam, I did see the piece in PMM and it lookes like a really neat boat. Seems like they packed a lot into a "small" package. My only reservation was the exterior lines of the boat. In order to get all that space I do think they sacrafice some aesthetics. I am not saying it is ugly....just different...and this from a 2 dimensional medium.

Along the same lines, The Carver Mariner(ironic)...the hightop tennis shoe looking thing....aint the greatest looking boat but they have sold thousands...and I know why...because the layout on that boat is literally unbelievable. You can access ALL areas of the boat without taking more than 3 steps up or down(brilliant)...it is the neatest damn boat out and the reason you see so many.

Anyway, I was definitely intrigued when I read the article in PMM. And it was a great price as well. It definitely gave me a lasting impression.
