I've really enjoyed ours. We are river boaters. They don't do great in heavy seas as they are pretty flat bottomed. Crusaders are heavily built gm engines. I have the 7.4s which are bullet proof but are gas pigs. The only thing I really don't like is the bearth is against the starboard side. The later ones have an island which would be much better.
I’m researching a 2004 Mariner and found your channel. Would you recommend them? Are Crusader engines reliable? Thanks
