SOLD! Sadly, Our 2007 Mariner 40 is For Sale!

Few boaters are willing to part with their well-built Mariner trawlers – with the economy of the single reliable Cummins diesel engine, protected side decks, covered cockpit, teak interior and thoughtful spacious interior layout – including master and bunk bedrooms, it’s no wonder Mariner owners hang on their boats!
