Thanks WN1A, I've enjoyed your informative posts.
How did you become Washington's "Alpha Mariner"?


We bought our Puget Sound boat, a Pacific Mariner, used in 1980. The registration number was WN 1A. I was told that it was the first boat registered in the state and that we are the third owners. At that time the state did not register boats, it was done by the Coast Guard. When the state took over boat registration the old Coast Guard numbers were accepted by the state. What I have learned about the history of "Pacific Mariner" and the role of the company in Washington boat building is quite interesting. I would like to know more - another day in a different thread.
