Some specifications come standard on all Marinette boats, while others are optional depending on the model.

Structure and Size

Custom boats vary in length from 15 to 50 feet, but Marinette has also made a range of standard series boats over the years. A smaller boat such as the Marinette 28 Express is 28 feet in length. Standard models increase in size, including the 31-foot Fisherman, the 32-foot Express and Sedan, the 37-foot Marquis, the 39-foot double cabin, and the 41-foot Motor Yacht. Beam length varies from 10 feet on the Fisherman to 14 feet on the Motor Yacht, and maximum draft ranges from 2 feet to 3 1/2 feet. Weights range from 7,000 pounds for 28 foot models to 12,000 pounds for the 39 foot double cabin.

The 28- and 31-foot models have 100-gallon fuel tanks, 32-foot models hold 200 gallons, the 37-foot models hold 230 gallons and the 41-foot Motor Yacht is built with two aluminum gas tanks that hold 175 gallons each.
