Hello All. Have owned this Marinette for three months. Mechanically in great shape. Needs some attention on the CAPAC. In fresh water, anodes are two years worn, pulling Her out in spring 2011. Thanks to all the inputs with the forums on this site,,,, should be able to find an answer when the specific questions arise. Thanks again for the info already, Eric

 You'll have bad times, but they'll just wake you up to the good times you weren't paying attention to

Some people try to turn back their odometers.Not me, I want people to know "why" I look this way.I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.

Thanks all, I fell in love at first site! The 318 starts with no hesitation at all. It does need some TLC in the cabin, wood is in good shape, varnish is blistering. Just a raw, no frills type of boat. Excellent platform for a great project. As Shamrock mentioned, CHLake is a very beautiful spot on TN to play with SOFIA. Will get some more pixs in when projects start. Can't say thanks enough times at this site for all the wisdom I've used already. Eric
