Excellent! Now that you mentioned it. My 23 ft Marquis has the gas tank buried under the floor. Its in fine shape but I'm wondring what the capacity is? I can't find any specs for it on the ID plate, and I've looked the 'net for it and have come up with nothering. It is an inboard metal unit. mounted off center ad on the port side. There is a small hatch in the floor where a person can access the sending unit, and that's it. Not enough room to measure it. Doug do you have any ideas? |

Mine is 18 gallon aluminum tank mounted under the splash well, surely yours is bigger and should have a tag, Marquis is a hard boat to get specs on, but I have seen some, if you dig deep enough some of the original employees and designers went on to other boat builders, but I do know that Al fink of Stingray bought marquis, so you might e-mail them and see what they say, some of the older stingrays hulls will look just like your boat. Its hard to tell the dif from old stingrays and a marquis. do you have the big coat of arms on your boat? |

Yep, my boat is a 23' w/small cuddie and is white with the brown stripe and a huge emblem toward the rear. jsut some funny observance, it matches my 1990 Mercury Colony Park stationwagon I tow it with . It's a white 'woody' with the fake contact plastic simulated wood grain on the side. Nothing but the finest! |

Over the past few yrs, I have noticed some odd motors obviously intended for very shallow weed infested waters. These motors resemble a lawnmotor engine with a very long shaft, maybe 6' on which there is a prop at the very end. They go very well in the mats of vegetation covering the water whereas a conventional outboard immediately bogs down and gets stuff in the water intake. I am wondering if these odd outboards will mean fewer airboats because both are intended to be used in nearly zero water. Just bear in Mind Florida has a new law about destroying sea grass, The fine is a fairly modest $1000 but they can also take you into civil court for the price of restoring the damage to the grass and that can be a huge number. Show me that law??? my mother in law is or was the former secretary of the "save our lakes" down there, and they have spent millions trying to get ride of the hydrilla from all the bill dance types out there packing the **** from one lake to the other, when I was younger Lake Walk in the Water had none, you could see thhe bottom, now you can walk across that ****, they spry paths accross the lake so you can run your boat...1000 for florida hydrilla...BS...somethings not right here |
