I got a kevlar-carbon Mariner Max, 10 years ago (has it been that long?) after a heart attack. Haven't been able to use it as much as I had hoped but still get out a few times a year. I feel the sliding seat is the best thing since sliced bread. The hull is very swede-form. One of these days I'll make to a ConnYak event to share.

I am glad to hear that some of the hulls are still available.
