This Marion has been designed for relaxed use and practical space. There is a wide bench at the stern and a spacious U-shaped seating area with a table at the bow. The table can be converted into a sun bed, making her suitable for different occasions on board. Storage space is available beneath the benches.

A swimming platform with a bathing ladder is fitted at the stern. This makes it easier to get back on board from the water. One or more covers are provided for protection and covering. The equipment is aimed at recreational use, allowing you to adapt the boat to sunny conditions, cooler weather or spending time on board during a longer day trip.
Which engine does the Marion 540 have?The boat is powered by a 2024 Tohatsu outboard engine. It is a petrol engine with an output of 20 hp and four cylinders. The engine is electrically started and was reported as operational in the information provided. The engine is installed in an engine well, making it less prominent in terms of visibility and noise while underway. According to the current owner, it is quiet in the well and economical to use.
The Marion 540 is not primarily intended as a high-speed boat. The combination of a stable hull design, a clear steering position and a 20 hp engine is mainly suited to calm recreational cruising. The owner describes her as very stable. The final sailing characteristics depend on the load, water conditions and the number of people on board.

The boat was last taken out of the water for maintenance in 2026. The most recent antifouling treatment was carried out in 2024. The current owner has stated that the Marion was purchased relatively new and subsequently used for approximately two years. As the boat is reportedly used too little, she is now being sold.

Her layout provides space for spending time together, while the seating area at the bow offers additional flexibility. You can use her for a leisurely day on the water, a picnic on board or a trip through canals and across lakes and rivers. The combination of the bimini, sprayhood, cushions and table makes her suitable for changing conditions.
