Picked up this 1979 Mariner 28 last fall and I’m finally in my slip in Irondequoit Bay (Lake Ontario) just outside of Rochester NY. I spent most of my years with one of Crestliners last closed bow boats, a Sabre, but I finally decided to find something my family can spend
the nights on. For its age the boat is in remarkable condition and has very few problems. Spent the winter replacing cracked railing bases (what a pain), refinishing teak and building new teak bulkhead walls on the back of the boat. Inside of the boat is min with new carpeting and all newish upholstery. Its a single screw inboard crusader 270, so let’s just say the tight navigation of the marina has been a little challenging, lol! Still working on reversing with any control… Despite my lack luster boat control, I love the boat and can’t wait to spend some real time exploring with her. Glad to join the club1

Re: ‘79 Mariner 28 on Lake Ontario!
Welcome Aboard!! Boat looks great!!
Remember, on a single-screw that prop walk is your FRIEND. Just be able to manage it! I used to be able to back into tight slips just with little bursts of fwd and rev, with the rudder pivoting the boat in fwd and prop walk pivoting it in reverse, and it would spin in nearly it's own length.

Welcome aboard. She's a beauty, a classic for sure. Love to see our brand's vintage builds still alive and enjoying the water.
