Boat Wanted Looking for a large aluminum cruiser

Redeye1962 · Jul 18, 2024

I am looking for a large aluminum cruiser. I have seen some large Lone Star cruisers around 25-30 feet long. I have a 1965 TexasMaid Electra for over 30 years and have it restored but would be nice to have a larger boat to spend the weekend on the lake. My wife has earned a private head as well so that is a must. BTW my TexasMaid is for sale or trade.

A company called Marinette...(not sure of the spelling) makes all aluminum cruisers in the 26 - 30 ft range. They have a good reputation up here in the Lake Erie region. Not speed boats but a nice weekend craft with amenities.

I have seen a few of these and they appear to be 1-2k lighter than their fiber counterparts

Yes, Marinette Boats.

Very popular on the Great Lakes.

Watch for electrolysis damage below the waterline (any aluminum boat). Lots of them are docked full time.
