Hi All,

Didn't know where to post this so I thought I'd start here. I recently purchased a 1985 Marlin Empress Cab Cruiser from my new brother-in-law. He upgraded to a Tahoe. Great boat. Needs a little TLC but I'm up for that. I'm trying to find a little history about the boat but every place I look/search there's nothing. A couple of really old posts on iboats and a few pics of one on the stockton craigslist is what I've found so far. Anyway I know it was built in Oregon and spent all of it's life there until I brought it to Calif. I thought I'd take a page from friscoboater and do a video for anyone out there that might have some more info about it.

Hey friscoboater, thanks so much for all of the videos you've posted about your projects. Watched every single one of the Glastron and Searay ones. Great stuff. Hope you don't mind if I follow in your footsteps with the videos.

Sorry, rambling.

Later all.

As promised. My video of the Marlin. Did it with my Flip so it's a little shaky.

Just got the outdrive off and much to my dismay, but expected :), bad gimbal bearing. Weekend project! TGIF.

Oh, if anyone has watched the video is the outdrive and Alpha I?

Follow up video with the boat on the lake! Had a blast and can't wait to get out on the water again. I think I have caught the boating bug. :)
