I've long been a Marlow fan. If my budget allowed it we'd have gotten a Marlow Explorer instead of the SR 550 Sedan Bridge. But had we done that I wouldn't know all you great fellers!

I thought the same. Reminds me of the time I was in Desolation Sound and some guy who owned (or used to own) a chain of grocery stores in the Seattle area came up next to us in his 60' Fleming. He gave us a tour. It was the most beautiful boat I've ever been on.

For a while I thought Marlow was my favorite, then after reading a lot of "info" on the internet plus some additional input I gained - they fell of my interest list.
Over the past couple of years I have had the opportunity to meet and get to know some Marlow owners. One in fact was on his second Marlow. Turned around my perspective and they are back at the top of my list.
From what I have pieced together, Fleming and Marlow are both high quality boats. Biggest difference I have found so far is you can find Marlow's with larger engines and faster cruising speeds. Since both of these boats are custom built new, if you are looking at the used market you have to pick through the options the original customer choose when they had the boat built.
Last time I looked there were no Flemings on yachtworld for sale. That might have changed in the last couple of weeks. There are Marlow's on the market.
BTW, Marlow seems to be 10+ feet longer LOA than what the number is. If that held true on that boat, that's an 80+ ft boat by the metric that a lot of manufacturers us.
Thinking I could be happy with either one...

I was able to tour a new 58 Marlow in Miami. I thought the boat was fantastic. The guys on yacht forums (2 to be exact) seem to be Marlow haters and talk about the lawsuit brought about an unhappy customer and mystery vibration that no one can tell me what it is. Sometimes there is too much information out there. The layout on these boats is very nice and it appeared to be solidly built. I’d love to have one.

I don’t think he will be on a thread bitching about gas prices.
