Hi All,

I'm looking to step up to a Mariner 350. My key considerations for this model number where the design. It's a cool looking boat. I also love the floor plan with everything on one level.

With that being said, I'm now to the Mariner line. Can you please give me some thing that I should be looking for in the Mariner line up and across years of production. What are the things that go bad? What are the thing that age good?

Here are some questions to start off.

1. Are they carbonated or fuel injected? Years that they changed over?
2. Internal construction? Is there any wood inside to rot? Stingers?
3. What is a lot of hours on an engine and when should it be rebuilt?
4. The brochure says 14.6' bridge clearance. Is that keel to radar arch?
5. What is the measurements of the shower stall? Is the bathroom comfortable for larger people?
6. Where do you store you stuff? How is your boat configured?
7. Tunnel drives? Or from the pics, Is the bow keel lower then the props?
8. Can you see the transom from the helm when docking? How do you dock?
9. Does any one really use the ladder from the salon to the helm?
10. How rough will it handle? Rough seas? Waves? (I'm on lake Ontario)
11. What's in the two hatches adjacent to the anchor?
12. Is there an exhaust fan in the bathroom?
13. Separate AC/Heat units?
14. Is there a way to look up Hull numbers to see ordered options?
15. Is there a garbage can or area in the boat?

I would appreciate any info you can send along.
