Hello,

I just bought a used mariner off a guy but am having difficulty exactly identifying the plane. Its definitly a Mariner, V bottom, heavy, fiberglass fuse, splash rails, looks like the pics etc. Except its wing span is only 76" unlike the new ones which are 80".

Does anybody know of the 76" version? What size engine did you use, any flying tips etc.? It came with a FOX .74 which the guy says flew well but I'm hard pressed to believe the .74 could adequately pull around the 13 lb. beast.

Thanks,

Jim
