Marlin Munroe

MARLIN MONROE

The 19’ Sutton and Mason 1966 built Marlin Marauder – Marlin Monroe made a very brief appearance recently on tme, probably brief because the asking price was $10k.

On face value that is a lot of classic boat for the money.

Built with double diagonal kauri and powered by Mercruiser inboard + stern leg that sees her topping out at 35mph.

The matching dinghy is a nice touch.

I am glad I did not see that on TMe. I would have bought it! What a little beauty. T.

Hi Alan,
This property in Ngunguru is for sale on tme. There is a woody in rough condition and I’m guessing that it will be left on the property when it’s sold. The new owner will probably be more interested in building a new house than in restoring the woody.
