The idea for the Marinaut started in the early part of 2007.  Ben Toland was helping Dave Thompson add two feet to his 16 foot C-Dory Cruiser.  They were just finishing up when Ben suggested that they build a boat.  One thing lead to another and eventually they decided to build a boat similar to those Ben had designed and built in the past.  From Ben's experience with building boats and Dave's with using them, plus the information Dave had gleaned from his time on the C-Brat forum, they decided to build a 20 foot 3 inch boat (later changed to 21' 6").

The boat was started in a warehouse in Olympia, Washington.
