This morning however, a broker told me that this is also the same boat as
the older Marine Trader 36 Sundeck. Does anyone know if this is
true? Their layouts are similar, but not identical. Could just be
differences in how they've chosen to fit out the interior over time.
Is the Freeport/Heritage from the same builder as the Marine Traders
were? The same molds? >>
Hi Bill,
I have a buddy in the marina with a 36' "Marine Trader" aft cabin sundeck
model but the hull was laid by Heritage. Heritage went bust during the
creation of the boat and Don Miller of Marine Trader bought the hull and had
it finished as an MT. He may have done several of them or bought the mold.
Things get done pretty fast and loose over there and is yet another reason to
approach each off-shore boat as a 'one off'. From the same manufacturer, some
are fine - others not.
This guy's Heritage/MT looks different from the gunwales down from other MT
36 sundecks I have seen. It is much more angular.
