An extract from the 3850 review.
"Made by the Riviera factory on the Gold Coast, the new range of Mariners has already been endorsed via a ground-breaking deal with Wellcraft. The US boating giant will rebadge the Aussie boats in an interesting move designed to give Rivieras some well-priced competition in America.
This double-export whammy for two brands of Aussie boats, both hailing from the one factory, reeks of clever marketing. And from who else but the Barry-Cotter clan? Kendal Barry-Cotter is steering Mariner and, together with brother Bill who makes Riviera cruisers, they plan to give the American and European boat builders a shake-up.
"We've declared war on the imports with a strategy to keep them at sea... The new millennium fleet of Mariner cruisers, priced from $500,000 to more than $1m has the potential to beat the Americans at their own game, " Kendal told Trade-A-Boat.
"Our new Mariner Renaissance range is different to Riviera's... We've already gone one up on them by scoring a landmark - or should I say watermark - deal with American giant, Wellcraft. This is an enormous breakthrough so early in our comeback plans. "
The difference between Mariners and Rivieras is obvious, even to an untrained eye. Though the first new model, the 3850, has the same hull as the Riviera 4000 Offshore, it's a different looking boat with a vastly different interior. "
