Go to offshore only.com and do a search. There has been alot of discussion on NM. Many of their boats are tied up in a banking nightmare. Some have been on EBay. It seems the banks will sell but who knows when you will receive clear title ( if ever).

National Marine has found a world of trouble as of late... between customers, banks, customers customers and the gov't it's pretty messy... you can find all of the gory details at the "other" place...

They have been gone for quite some time. Some of their stuff is showing up in liquidation sales.

I don't subscribe to Powerboat magazine (I should), but
in the May 2004 issue they had a double page ad. The
stuff they carry is $$$$$$ and then some. I heard today,
they'd sell you a boat, the money they'd receive for that
boat, whether cash or financed, never made it to the
company that floorplans their inventory. With trade-ins,
they'd take your trade and say that they were short on
cash, they'd take your trade but continue to make the
payment for you. They sell the trade-in and not payoff
your old trade-in boat. Pretty nice gig but last time I
checked that would land you a prime spot behind bars
getting your prostate checked daily. People that buy $500k
to million+++ boats don't take stuff like this lightly. I'm
pretty sure the knuckleheads that ran National
Marine have contracts on them and if caught will get
exercised regularly in the pokey!!! Then again, I'm just
looking to find one of their misfortunate boats a new home...
for cheap! I'd love to have an Outerlimits w/Cobra power....
Something like this.........
