29 Sedan

A spacious 29-footer with berths for six and a good turn of speed, the Marinette 29 Sedan proved popular with budget-minded buyers looking for an inexpensive, easily maintained cruising boat. She was built on a low-deadrise hull with a wide 11-foot beam, and lightweight aluminum construction made the 29 an economical boat to operate. The interior consists of a small salon on the cockpit level with a lower helm to starboard and a convertible settee to port. Forward, the lower level has a V-berth in the forepeak, a convertible dinette to port, a full galley opposite, and an enclosed, standup head compartment aft. While the accommodations are simple and basic in nature, teak cabin accents, good headroom, and large cabin windows give the interior a nautical and very open appearance. Visibility from the lower helm is very good, and hatches in the salon sole provide access to a well-arranged engine room. Although the cockpit is modest in size, it’s still large enough for a few folding deck chairs. Topside, the small flybridge has bench seating for three. Twin 220hp Chrysler gas engines cruise efficiently at around 20 knots and reach a top speed of close to 30 knots. Note the modest fuel capacity.
