would like to know the rarity of my boat. found this site searching for like boats. found a chat about 1973 martinique in 2011. saw that the boat in question was the boat I purchased. we are now restoring it after using it for 2 years. It has gotten a lot of comments, and many want to buy it. its very orange and has 225 hp 318, and to my knoledge 525 hrs. If someone can help, that would be great.

They weren't all that rare, but yet not very common like a ski nautique. I know of one that visits my lakeys every once in awhile. It's a 1972.

I get the loud part. Most on my lake can hear it well, esp. when the 4 barrels are clicking. I want to thank you for response. Sure am hoping to find #s though.

Martiniques weren't too popular, but I'd say '73 was one of the more popular years. Dad ordered an orange and white Martinique back in '73 with a Holman Moody 351. It's current status is not in the family (at this moment, ha) but still around and a head turner., shiny as new. I'll post a pic of it when I find one.

I don't know if its possible to go back in this forum, but as mentioned it was on here back in 2011. found it from google pics and could believe its the boat I bought. that chat had lots of pics on it. they looked ruffer than it really was, maybe, I got it an owner or two later.

I know this is backwards to resto, but motor will be later. He goes. She got da sanded with 320. then 600, and 1000. buffed through 3m stages. Looks gooood. couldn't believe how much gel they put on back in the day. still have a few nicks, but want to keep it origanal, not to mention the cost of paint. polish all metals and new vinyl. built new wood frames for seats and side panels.

There are 19 Martiniques here in the diaries '71 - '72 - '73
There are probably many more out there that are not listed on this site. The '73 is kind of unique to it's year, due to a very slight top deck change from the 71 and 72. Woops, only 18, one of the '73's was a double. 7 - '71's 9 - '72's 2 - '73's (would be 6, including yours, 2 more in MO that I know of and 1 in ARkansas. And Joe was right. Mike T. does have one (white w/red) |

Your boat wouldn't happen be be the one that was for sale over by the York county court house ? It was identical to yours but really faded. That was awhile back. I think it was on Rt 4.

Back forum ??? Diaries? --- top of this page, right side. Searchable by year/model.
Factory production numbers might be very elusive. Member - Art Cozier could maybe pull up yours from a serial#. I could be wrong, but I don't think he is compiling #'s by year and model for totals. |
