Marina 14, anybody who knows these boats?

Hi there,
I’m Vincent, proud owner of a (bit of neglected) marina 14 and new to this forum.
Bought this boat 2 years ago, put a 115hp Suzuki dt behind it, blew it up at the 3rd run, bought a 140hp Suzuki dt which I found quite fast and was convenient because it’s basically the same outboard with the same mounting points but it haven’t run right yet and I sort of gave up.
Now, after another year, I’m getting excited again. Summer is coming and a colleague of mine accidentally bought a marina 16gt which we found out later on . I went on the internet to find some information about these boat 16gt and stumbled across this forum. Super glad that I could find something because getting some information about the marina I have seems quite impossible. Even when I contacted the builder, or actually his daughter. She told me that the poor man suffers from alzheimer soon can’t ask it directly anymore.
So the first question i have is if there is someone who knows this type of marina and could give me some background information. I love the boat for the looks and the handling (as far as I could experience it with those stupid Suzukis) but it would be nice if I know what I actually have .
Thanks in advance!
Greetings, Vincent
