Re: Perko 299 separator disassembly
I pulled mine apart when I first purchased my boat, and I don't think they were ever serviced. Both were half full of water and the bronze mesh was plugged completely shut with rust, varnish & goo. I don't see how the engines ever ran. I took the mesh filters home and dropped them into a gallon ...

Re: Number of Boats' built ?
The number of models depends on year and whether you are talking about Lake vessels or houseboats. The 32' Sedan Flybridge of the late seventies-early eighties was, I believe, Marinette's best selling model. See a lot of them up here in western Lake Erie. Always see a lot of 37/39's Aft Cabins on th...
