Like new!  Marauder XF in granite white color. Only been in the water 3 times.  4 hatches, 8 flush mount rod holders.

 Comes with Cobra seat with storage pocket and new (used once) Humminbird Matrix 25 fish finder installed.  The Matrix 25 is a hi-res, gps ready fish finder.  Puck is attached with silicone between the two large hatches,with the power cable led aft to the battery box in the rearmost 8" round hatch.  The head swivels down below deck level so it can't be knocked off during a bad landing, or snaps off the mount for storage in a hatch or dry bag. 

Price is $1150, which represents a saving of $300+ over a new, similar setup.

Hey Randy just curious, why are you selling?

Hey Bill,

Got one boat more than I need.  When I bought it, Pat and I were planning to spend more time in San Diego and keep boats down there.  Doesn't look like that will happen this year, so I've decided to sell one. 

My Prowler 13 is only a year old and I still like it a lot.  Since the Marauder is the hot boat this year, I figure I can recoup a greater portion of my investment than I could from the Prowler.

I'll probably be calling Sean and ordering another one next year  :smt003

If I had the dough right now I'd be all over it.

I'm sure someone will buy it soon, but if you still happen to have it in a few weeks I will probably take it off your hands.

Looks nice all set up hmm! I need a new boat.
Randy how is the white color seems like it might reflect a lot of sun light?

Hi Mike -

I haven't noticed problems with glare as the finish is rather dull.  Frankly, the days I took it out were overcast and I never gave it a thought, but the pictures were taken yesterday at midday in bright sunshine.

The color isn't actually white; it's granite white, so there're lots of gray/black specks in the finish. 

I'm sure it reflects more light than, say, dark green, but the good news is that it will be less affected by u/v (and more visible on the water).

I'd leave too.....I've been hearing these wild stories of enraged speedo wearing motorists splashing cars with wiper fluid and rubbing their banana's all over yaks at the launch.

Somebody mentioned at the OP Tourney that the newer model Marauders have the seats set back farther than the older ones.

Anyone know if there's any truth to this? Sean?

The one single complaint I had about the boat was that I couldn't extend my legs all the way due to the location of the last footwell. The skinny footwells did not seem to bother me.

Word on the street is that Cobra is reworking their molds to move the seat back a few inches but it's not really in production yet.

Sorry to see you selling that boat, I was always in love with it...that one is a real beauty in person.  Hopefully someone else will be able enjoy it.  Glad you hear your not leaving norcal!!

As to the legroom, it is true...sort of.  Cobra has chopped the mold and set the seat further back.  I believe they need to do a little more pimping to the modified mold before I'm ordering any.  Every time a mold gets seriously modified, its a can of worms. A little patience and it will get sorted out.
