Yep the marquis boats were built tuff, I have read they were bought out by
stingray back in the 80s mine was built in Hartsville NC and I bet your was
to, that is where stingray is today and they have a good reputation, I
didn't think the maquis yachts are even related

I wish i had the money for a new one. After they were eaten up by
Brunswick ( I think) they changed the name to product all together.
All they make now is big yachts!

Mine is a 1977 with a 350 chevy and alpha one mercruiser drive. It's
a tough old boat. The origional owners used it on Lake Erie for
fishing. They left the large rod holders still attached to the
railings.
