There is a guy locally who wants to trade his "Marserun" boat for my motorcycle, doing a google search, I can't find any info on these boats. It looks like a speedboat/raceboat, and it needs a little work, so I am not sure i want it anyway, as I am looking for a boat for my boy and his friends to ski behind. But maybe it can be used, I don't know. Anyone heard of one of these before? Any idea what they are worth?

I've seen folks ski behind one. I think there was even a boat (Hydrodyne, i think) that was an outboard ski-boat. It was a little bigger than the one in the link. Oldjeep is right, 2 inside draggin' 1 is going to be standard fare for that boat. Cool lookin' boat.

Yep, that is the one, I just had never heard of the name, and can't find any info on it, maybe I will run by after work and take a look at it.

Thanks for the responses

It has plenty of motor, but no seats or battery as of right now. Still waiting on a response as to whether he has titles for both, not - if no titles I am not interested at all - been down that road before.

I really was thinking open bow boat, and I have a line on one of those, so I will most likely pass on the speed boat.

That thing looks like a ton of fun! I used to love those boats back in the day. Every Sunday afternoon a group of about 8-10 of these type boats would show up to the lake to just rip and run. They always waited until about 5pm, which I thought was greatly respectful, so they didn't bother any of the family boaters out. Still a lot of these type hulls around and they can be quite the show piece if that's your "thing".

Like someone has mentioned, you'd probably want to install a ski pylon for pulling the kids, but if the hull/transom/deck are solid and the motor checks out good, this would make a good boat. Seats aren't that hard to find, and what looks best in these are those really thick-padded buckets, almost like mid-70's car seats with a bench in the rear, if there's room. Just about any junkyard could get you started. What type of motorcycle are you giving up in this transaction?
