Any one familiar with these boats? It's a center console like a Carolina skiff with a 90 merc on it. Has normal aging on it but for the price I think it would make awesome fishing boat that's easy to pull. Jus curious what some the older guys know.*

That size Mariner was made by Merc, so he's "technically" correct.Originally Posted by Jusfishn
Some of Merc's smaller engines were part Yamaha, back then, but I believe those engines were the below 50hp line.

Not sure on the boat as I have not heard of them, but I did have a Mariner 150 hp on my old Skeeter and it was an awesome motor. It was by Mercury.
Any center console should make a great fishing boat.
Post some pictures of it and let us know if you get it. Good luck.

Well I did it. I bought it. For a 30 year old boat this thing is straight as an arrow. Fiberglass needs buffed to bring shine back and all the wood trim needs to be sanded,stained and clear coated. Gas tank has 5 year old gas in it so it needs cleaned out but Other than that it seems to be good boat. The motor fired right up and sounded great. Has power trim which I'd didn't expect but wouldn't have bought without it. Overall I think it's gonna be a good crappie and all around fishing boat. Should get me where I'm going a little quicker too. I'd say 35 to 40 mph should be what it runs. Couldn't pass it up for The price. Thanks to all who gave info.
