    Where are all the Marinauts?

    Is it fair to say there's only about a dozen Marinaut 215s out there, then?

    RI Family of 4 (kids ages 4 & 2) WTB 22 or 25 Cruiser

    I’m waiting to replace the car until I end up with a boat, actually. It’s a 2010 Outback onto which I’ve added 150k miles on as second owner, and will be replaced with a truck. The size and type, however, is boat dependent :) So, 25 is in play, but I know it’ll likely need some love in my...

    RI Family of 4 (kids ages 4 & 2) WTB 22 or 25 Cruiser

    Budget increased to $50k. Was thinking 2008+ or newer, but then I read what I could find on here about the "missing" years of 2008 - 2011 during the mold fights / changing hands, so I'm back to just "a good, well-maintained" boat, in blue. 22 Cruiser, Cape Cruiser, Marinaut, 25, whatever, just...

    Also open to a Cape Cruiser should one come up.

    SOLD - 23 cc venture for sale

    I didn’t buy the boat. But the person who did commented tonight that they did, in a “welcome to the forum/ intro” post. I’m still the seagull circling the beach for French fries. I do see now that my post could be interpreted that way; apologizes. And yes, I’m up for a trip to FL from a RI for a...

    SOLD - 16' Angler (2003) $20,000 Mukilteo Wa

    Deflating the tires before entering/exiting also works for a few inches; in case someone else has the concern even with the new measurements.

    RI Family of 4 (kids ages 4 & 2) WTB 22 or 25 Cruiser

    Thank you, sir! I agree with the budget ranges (though prices are definitely coming down at last after the past few years), and "skeletons in the closet" with anything below that, but saw a very nice 25 come up at 55k this week...

    RI Family of 4 (kids ages 4 & 2) WTB 22 or 25 Cruiser

    Hi. Looking for a 2000+ model year 22 or 25 with 4-stroke(s), trailer, front-facing co-pilot (/barber chair), and ideally also an enclosure. Prefer molded interior and non-screwed gas tank cleats, but flexible on those. No red or green hulls/interiors unless a "screaming deal", and even then...

    Adding to the "Wet Core" Tally

    Hi. Yes, I was going for relative measurements (dry vs not dry), and probably should not have listed the percentage as I know it's not accurate given the materials (ie, I didn't believe it was 70, but I did believe that there was a lot more water in some places than others. I mentioned the 70+...

    Adding to the "Wet Core" Tally

    *far Perhaps I should also add that I’m still looking for and excited about buying a 22 cruiser. This was not a hit job, just a head shaking “gotta be careful out there folks” post.

    Adding to the "Wet Core" Tally

    Just adding to the tally, not relitigating kerfs and capacitance and drill-fill-drill (implied in my rebed verbiage, due to context). Relative moisture as an initial screening tool is still helpful, as is “I can press the deck down with my foot.”’ No tapping needed, there’s an issue here which I...

    Adding to the "Wet Core" Tally

    Just passing along for posterity... I’m in the market for a used 22 cruiser, and I looked one over today that’s for sale and brought a moisture meter. Red lights and fast beeping— which indicates greater than 70% moisture— all across the transom, gas tank area, cockpit, aft sole in the cabin...
