Re: Mariner / Santego?
Both are listed as 34' but I think that may be LOA
Not familiar with either boat and am curious what the differences are what advantages/disadvantages each has.
Thanks

Re: Mariner / Santego?
Most of the 30' santegos had outdrives vs, inboards for the mariners. That gives you more interior space, but more maintenance too.
I believe the mariners were also a bit heavier. foot for foot.

Re: Mariner / Santego?
My only complaint with the 3067 was the use of an inboard/outboard. In my opinion, the 3067 is too heavy a boat for the mercruiser alpha 1 outdrives. It is also the only Santego model that doesn’t have the walk through from the fly bridge to the bow. It did however have decent fuel mileage and would top out at around 30 mph at WOT. Of course I must admit, i don’t like outdrives on a cruiser and will never own anything with them again except for a runabout. Those outdrives also will mean more in maintenance costs too.

I always liked the open one level floor plan of the 38 santego. really nice boat.

Tom,
That would be my guess is that it was a later model year due to the walk though bridge. The 3067’s didn’t have it, but they did have the option of the volvo’s and if memory serves correctly they had the duo prop. Now that being said, I have seen an 89 3067 with a walk through bridge, but the owner had it custom retrofitted, so at least one exists. In 91, Carver changed the model numbers and the previous 3467 became the 38 and the 3067 became the 34 and of course the 3867 was eliminated. I wish they would bring it back, I would love a new Santego in a 45’ length. (With diesels...lol)
