Default Mariner Yachts -- Orient 34' Sedan Trawler

The latest issue of Chesapeake Bay magazine shows the subject trawler,
a 2004, for $179000 (actually $149000, but that's an error). On the
preceding page is a 1990 Grand Banks 36' Classic, for $229000. Both
have single diesel engines, the GB has a 210 hp Caterpillar, and the
Mariner has a 165 Perkins, upgradeable to a 220 Cummins for another
$6000.

Now, why such a big difference in the cost of these boats? How much
would a new Grand Banks cost, and is it worth the difference?

Chuck, you may have to come out of hiding!
