Marauder Marine & Dorado Boats

[Kevin]

I was called by the owner of Marauder Marine designer & builder of the 25 Avenger Jerry Scott this week. Jerry told me he & Dorado are no longer working together he has returned to build boats at his long time location in New Port Richey Florida. I would have liked to talk longer but my work has limited my time we have been super busy. Last I spoke with Jerry he was working on a new hull 21ft for Dorado & was also looking to get back to building the very popular 24 Avenger with some up dates. The 25 is a great boat but the high cost keeps many that are budget minded away, if Jerry does bring back the 24 many guides will be very happy along with those looking to fish both the inshore & offshore waters at low cost. I have been very happy with my 25 Avenger, Jerry has built some great boats through the years I am looking forward to see what he will be building. Sorry the info is incomplete but I will be trying to update things when I can.

I spoke with Jerry yesterday he told me that the 21 he was working on is not complete & likley will not be built for a long time if at all. He did say he will be bringing back the old 24 Avenger with changes to make it better than the first design. The base cost of the 24 will be about 10k less than the 25 Avenger. Jerry said it would be around October of this year before he completes the first new 24 Avenger. He will be taking orders for both boats starting this month.

I checked Marauder marines website & it is still active but North end Boats is not I was told they have been closed down molds have been taken by creditors along with any other equipment.

So whats the difference between the Maruader 25 and the Dorado 25? I was looking at the green Dorado 25 on their website and it is a sharp looking boat. Any idea what the prices are for these boats?

Same hull same boat, you can customize as you like. Jerry Called me when I was out of town because someone wanted to see my boat so Jerry showed him mine. Jerry said he liked the way mine was set up with the in floor rod lockers & would be building one much like mine. Base boat starts in the low to mid 40k range ready for motor. Complete package with trailer will be up to what you want anywhere from mid 60k to 90k would be my guess.
