I had a regal 242 cruser with a 350 and went to a wellcraft 3000
martinique with twin 350 this year and I can control this one better it
close quarters than the smaller boat ever could and having 2 motors is
so cool


The Martinique is built like a tank., or at least they were in the mid to
late 1990's. We would have purchased their 32 foot model when we were
looking for boats that size if not for the small aft cabin on the boat.

And yes, having twin outdrives is very nice. The best is twin screws
though. but you have to give up the aft cabin. ;-)




my wellcraft is a 2000 and the aft cabbin is big enough to sleep 3





I am talking queen size comfort for 2 adults and the 32 foot Martinique had
nothing close to that...perhaps a double bed mattress size at best.

I guess the aft cabins on their smaller boats are bigger and offer far more
room. ;-)
