Cruisers Inc 14 foot Mariner circa 1961

Post by jimmylapstrake »

Has anyone ever seen one or have one? Just poking around. I think it would be fun to have one that was never set up for steering but for a tiller motor. I prefer the reverse rake in the stem on the 61 and up boats against the earlier 1950's 100 and 102's.

if someone replies and has one I will be in Big Trouble especially if you are within a 6 to 8 hr drive from Massachusetts.

Miles Kapper had a 1959 Cruisers, Inc. 14 ft. Mariner for a number of years.

Check out our club project boat from a couple of years ago...

We restored her at my studio.

She brought about 5,400.00 and went to Montana!

14 Mariner

yes of course I remember. Awesome job for a great cause. on page 6 of the 1961 brochure I like the look of the 61 Mariner 100 or 102 that is set up for a tiller motor. Just a great looking little skiff.

Dan,

I absolutely loved your documentation of the Mariner's restoration. Truly great pictures and text. I have just picked up a '58 Cruisers Holiday which will need the same type of treatment. I only hope mine comes out half as nice as yours. By the way...do you rent out that army of craftsmen?
