The only way to do dinner if you are a Marauder.

I posted a copy of my Mystere catalogue a while back, and I remember jfm admitting then that he used to lust after her big sister the Marauder in the 70's..... I had forgotten that I also had a catalogue on the Marauder, and it turned up recently, so I thought I would scan and post it as a change from the stereotypical melted 21st century look that most powerboats seem to have these days.

Marauder was a division of JCL Marine in Brundall - my brochure is from July 1976, and the basic price of a new Marauder then was GBP 88,600 ex VAT, which seems to me to be very expensive relatively, when compared to similar sized boats today.
The Builders mentioned that they could only offer the vessel with a pair of Ford Sabre 210 hp engines - no alternative engines were available, which seems a bit odd.
They were apparently built on a production line (I wonder how many were built?) and they could offer delivery within 12-14 weeks of the order being placed.

Ho. Can you please send me the copy of Marauder catalogue to my mail yaroslav.kutyba@gmail.com.
Thank you

And only a 4 foot vault over the side rail to get to the pontoon. Who needs ergonomics?
