                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   GENERAL

     The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been
     prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
     United States for interim financial information and with the instructions
     to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not
     include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
     accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
     management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
     considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating
     results for the period ended March 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative
     of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2004.

     The balance sheet at December 31, 2003 has been derived from the audited
     financial statements at that date but does not include all of the
     information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
     principles for complete financial statements.

     For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
     footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for
     the year ended December 31, 2003.

     The Board of Directors, at its quarterly meeting on January 27, 2004,
     authorized a three-for-two stock split by the issuance on March 10, 2004 of
     one additional common share for each two common shares held of record on
     February 10, 2004. Accordingly, the par value of additional shares issued
     has been adjusted between common stock and capital in excess of par value,
     and fractional shares resulting from the stock split were settled in cash.
     All share and per share data appearing throughout this Form 10-Q have been
     retroactively adjusted to reflect the impact of this stock split.

     Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the
     current year presentation.

2.   EARNINGS PER SHARE

     Basic and diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by
     the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the respective
     periods. A reconciliation of weighted shares outstanding is as follows:

3.   RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
     Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 132 (revised 2003) ("SFAS
     132R"), "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Post-Retirement
     Benefits." SFAS 132R does not change the measurement or recognition
     provisions for defined benefit pensions and other post-retirement benefits;
     however, it requires additional annual disclosures about assets,
     obligations, cash flows and net periodic benefit cost of those plans. SFAS
     132R also requires interim disclosure of the elements of net periodic
     benefit cost and the total amount of contributions paid or expected to be
     paid during the current fiscal year if significantly different from
     previous amounts disclosed. The disclosure rules apply to annual financial
     statements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2003 and for interim
     periods beginning after December 15, 2003. The Company has adopted the
     provisions of SFAS 132R and presented the disclosures in Note 9 to these
     consolidated financial statements.

     In December 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation ("FIN") No. 46,
     "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." The Interpretation requires
     that a variable interest entity be consolidated by a company if that
     company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable
     interest entity's activities or entitled to receive a majority of the
     entity's residual returns or both. The consolidation requirements of FIN 46
     apply immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31,
     2003. The consolidation requirements apply to older entities in the first
     fiscal year or interim period ending after December 15, 2003. Certain of
     the disclosure requirements apply in all financial statements issued after
     January 31, 2003, regardless of when the variable interest entity was
     established. The Company has completed an evaluation of its existing
     relationships with various dealerships that sell its products and has
     concluded that none of them are variable interest entities under the
     provisions of FIN 46. In addition, the Company has not entered into any
     agreements subject to FIN 46 since January 31, 2003. Therefore, the
     adoption of the Interpretation did not have a material impact on the
     financial position, results of operations or liquidity of the Company.

5.   STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

     Marine Products accounts for its stock incentive plan using the intrinsic
     value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No.
     25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." If Marine Products had
     accounted for the stock incentive plans in accordance with Statement of
     Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for
     Stock-Based Compensation" reported net income per share would have been as
     follows:

6.   WARRANTY ACCRUALS

     The Company warrants the entire boat, excluding the engine, against defects
     in materials and workmanship for a period of one year. The Company also
     warrants the entire deck and hull, including its bulkhead and supporting
     stringer system, against defects in materials and workmanship for periods
     ranging from five to ten years.

     Activity in the warranty accrual was as follows:


     (in thousands)                                        2004         2003

     ===========================================================================

     The Company is also a party to certain agreements with third party lenders
     that provide financing to the Company's network of dealers. The agreements
     provide for the return of repossessed boats in "like new" condition to the
     Company, in exchange for the Company's assumption of specified percentages
     of the unpaid debt obligation on those boats, up to certain contractually
     determined dollar limits. As of March 31, 2004, the maximum repurchase
     obligation outstanding under these agreements which expire in 2004 and 2005
     totaled approximately $4,000,000. The Company records the estimated fair
     value of the guarantee; at March 31, 2004, this amount is immaterial.

7.   BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

     The Company has only one reportable segment, its powerboat manufacturing
     business; therefore, the majority of the disclosures required by SFAS No.
     131 do not apply to the Company. In addition, the Company's results of
     operations and its financial condition are not significantly reliant upon
     any single customer or on sales to international customers.

8.   INVENTORIES

     Inventories consist of the following:

     Marine Products had previously disclosed that it expects to contribute
     $700,000 to its defined benefit plan in 2004. As of March 31, 2004, the
     Company contributed approximately $630,000 to the pension plan. The Company
     is currently evaluating its funding obligations for the remainder of 2004
     under the Pension Funding Equity Act of 2004 that was passed in April 2004
     and will then determine the level of additional funding for the remainder
     of the year.

                       OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

OVERVIEW
- --------

Marine Products Corporation, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries Chaparral and
Robalo, is a leading manufacturer of recreational fiberglass powerboats. The
Company sells its products to a network of independent dealers who in turn sell
the products to retail customers. These dealers are located throughout the
continental United States and in several international markets.

The Company operates under a single business segment, its Powerboat
Manufacturing business. Marine Products' mission is to maximize the boating
experience by providing its customers with high-quality, innovative powerboats
and related products and services. Chaparral competes in the sterndrive and
inboard engine-powered sportboat, deckboat and cruiser markets, manufacturing
boats from 18 to 35 feet in length. The Company's Robalo brand, acquired in June
2001, competes in the outboard engine-powered sport fishing boat market,
manufacturing boats of 19 to 26 feet in length.

Marine Products' business is impacted by economic conditions, consumer
confidence, interest rates, the weather, and other factors. The Company's
management believes that it has the opportunity to continue to enhance its
customers' boating experience by providing them with high quality, innovative
powerboats, and thereby increase its market share, net sales, and net income.
Marine Products' management is also focused on the competitive nature of the
recreational powerboat manufacturing business and factors which may lead to a
decline in consumer confidence or consumers' discretionary income, both of which
could negatively impact sales of the Company's powerboats.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

NET SALES for the three months ended March 31, 2004 increased $11,723,000 or
23.4 percent. The increase in net sales was due to a 15.1 percent increase in
the average sales price per boat, a 6.3 percent increase in the number of boats
sold, and an increase in parts and accessories sales. The increase in average
sales price per boat was due to a favorable model mix, highlighted by volume
increases in cruisers, sales of larger sportboats, and increases in sales of
sport fishing boats in addition to overall price increases that were implemented
for the 2004 model year, which began in July 2003.

COST OF GOODS SOLD for the three months ended March 31, 2004 was $46,107,000
compared to $38,015,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003, an increase
of $8,092,000 or 21.3 percent. The increase in cost of goods sold was due to
increases in sales. Cost of goods sold, as a percentage of net sales, decreased
in 2004 compared to 2003, due to higher unit sales of larger boats, which
generate higher profit margins, and improvements in manufacturing efficiencies
due to higher production and sales volumes.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES for the three months ended March
31, 2004 were $7,159,000 compared to $5,652,000 for the three months ended March
31, 2003, an increase of $1,507,000, or 26.7 percent. The increase in selling,
general and administrative expenses was due to incremental costs that vary with
sales and profitability, such as warranty expense, sales commissions and other
incentive compensation, and increased costs associated with the growth the
Company has experienced in sales and expanded customer service efforts. Warranty
expense for the three months ended March 31, 2004 was 1.7 percent of net sales,
compared to 1.5 percent of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2003.
Warranty expenses tend to be higher for larger sportboats and cruisers compared
to the other brands and the Company sold a higher volume of its larger boats in
the first quarter of 2004 as compared to the first quarter of 2003.

OPERATING INCOME for the three months ended March 31, 2004 increased $2,124,000
or 33.0 percent compared to operating income for the comparable period in 2003.
Operating income was higher due to higher net sales, partially offset by higher
cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses during the
period, as discussed above.

INTEREST INCOME was $122,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2004
compared to $113,000 in the prior year period, an increase of $9,000 or 8.0
percent. This increase resulted from higher investable average balances of cash
and marketable securities during the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared
to the three months ended March 31, 2003, partially offset by lower investment
returns due to lower market interest rates. Marine Products generates interest
income from investment of its available cash primarily in overnight and
marketable debt securities.

INCOME TAX PROVISION for the three months ended March 31, 2004 reflects an
effective tax rate of 35.0 percent, compared to 36.0 percent for the three
months ended March 31, 2003. The decrease in rate reflects the effect of
implementing tax planning strategies. The effective rate change increased net
income by $87,000. The income tax provision of $3,040,000 was $681,000 or 28.9
percent higher than the income tax provision of $2,359,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2003 as a result of higher operating income, partially offset by
the lower effective tax rate.

     Net cash used for financing activities       $   (1,037)     $   (1,350)
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Company's decisions about the amount of cash to be used for investing and
financing purposes are influenced by its capital position and the expected
amount of cash to be provided by operations. During the three months ended March
31, 2004, cash and cash equivalents increased by $6,689,000 and marketable
securities increased by $1,836,000.

Cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2004
increased $1,445,000 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2003. The
increase resulted primarily from increased net income partially offset by higher
working capital needs in the three months of 2004 as compared to the three
months in 2003, due to increases in accounts receivable and inventories
correlated with higher sales and related manufacturing activities, in
conjunction with increases (reductions) in net income taxes receivable
(payable), offset by increases in accounts payable and other accruals that were
due to timing differences.

Cash used for investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2004
decreased $1,564,000 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2003. The
decrease in cash used resulted from lower investments in marketable securities
in 2004 compared to the investments in the prior year. The Company currently
expects that capital expenditures during 2004 will be approximately $4,000,000,
of which $989,000 has been spent through March 31, 2004.

Cash used for financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2004
decreased $313,000. The decrease was due to a lower cost of share repurchases in
the open market compared to 2003,

                  MARINE PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

partially offset by an increase in dividend payments resulting from the
Company's decision during the first quarter of 2004 to increase its quarterly
dividend by 50 percent to $0.04 on the split number of shares. Details regarding
the shares repurchased during the quarter have been disclosed in Part II, Item 2
of this document.

The Company believes that the liquidity provided by existing cash, cash
equivalents and marketable securities, its overall strong capitalization, and
cash expected to be generated from operations, will provide sufficient capital
to meet the Company's requirements for at least the next twelve months. The
Company believes that the liquidity will allow it the ability to continue to
grow and provide the opportunity to take advantage of business opportunities
that may arise.

The Company participates in a multiple employer Retirement Income Plan,
sponsored by RPC, Inc.. The Company contributed approximately $630,000 to the
multiple employer pension plan in the first quarter of 2004. The Company is
currently evaluating its funding obligations for the remainder of 2004 under the
Pension Funding Equity Act of 2004 that was passed in April 2004 and will then
determine the level of additional funding for the remainder of the year.

The Company has an insignificant amount of obligations and commitments that
require future payments. See the section titled Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
for details regarding agreements that the Company has with third-party dealer
floor plan lenders.

The Company warrants the entire boat, excluding the engine, against defects in
materials and workmanship for a period of one year. The Company also warrants
the entire deck and hull, including its bulkhead and supporting stringer system,
against defects in materials and workmanship for periods ranging from five to
ten years. See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a detail of
activity in the warranty accrual account during the three months ended March 31,
2004.




OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
- ------------------------------

GUARANTEES. To assist dealers in obtaining financing for the purchase of its
boats, the Company has entered into agreements with various dealers and
financing institutions to guarantee varying amounts of qualifying dealers' debt
obligations related to inventory purchases. The Company's obligation under these
guarantees becomes effective in the case of default by the dealer. The
agreements provide for the return of all repossessed boats in "like new"
condition to the Company, in exchange for the Company's assumption of specified
percentages of the unpaid debt obligation on those boats. As of March 31, 2004,
the maximum repurchase obligation

                                       14

                  MARINE PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

outstanding under these agreements, which expire in 2004 and 2005 totaled
approximately $4,000,000. The Company records the estimated fair value of the
guarantee; at March 31, 2004, this amount is immaterial. The Company has no
other off balance sheet arrangements as defined in the SEC rules.

SEASONALITY
- -----------

Marine Products' quarterly operating results are affected by weather and the
general economic conditions in the United States. Quarterly operating results
for the second quarter historically have reflected the highest quarterly sales
volume during the year with the first quarter being the next highest sales
quarter. However, the results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of
results to be expected in any future period.

INFLATION
- ---------

Inflation has not had a material effect on Marine Products' operations. If
inflation increases, Marine Products will attempt to increase its prices to
offset its increased costs. No assurance can be given, however, that the Company
will be able to adequately increase its prices in response to inflation.
Inflation can also impact Marine Products' sales and profitability. New boat
buyers typically finance their purchases. Higher inflation typically results in
higher interest rates that could translate into increased cost of boat
ownership. Prospective buyers may choose to delay their purchases or buy a less
expensive boat.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Marine Products does not utilize financial instruments for trading purposes and,
as of March 31, 2004, did not hold derivative financial instruments that could
expose the Company to significant market risk. Also, as of March 31, 2004, the
Company's investment portfolio, comprised of United States Government, corporate
and municipal debt securities, is subject to interest rate risk exposure. This
risk is managed through conservative policies to invest in high-quality
obligations. Marine Products does not expect any material changes in market risk
exposures or how those risks are managed.


ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

        SECTION 1.    ANNUAL MEETING.

        An annual meeting of the stockholders, for the election of directors to

        When a meeting is adjourned to another place, date, or time, written

thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken;
provided, however, that if the date of any adjourned meeting is more than thirty

the shares of the stock entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or by
proxy, shall constitute a quorum for all purposes, unless or except to the
extent that the presence of a larger number may be required by law. Where a
separate vote by a class or classes is required, a majority of the shares of
such class or

manner of voting and the conduct of discussion as seem to him or her in order.
The chairman shall have the power to adjourn the meeting to another place, date,
and time. The date and time of the opening and closing of the polls for each
matter upon which the stockholders will vote at the meeting shall be announced

        SECTION 7.    PROXIES AND VOTING.

        At any meeting of the stockholders, every stockholder entitled to vote

reproduction of the writing or transmission created pursuant to


                                     - 3 -

transmission for any and all purposes for which the original writing or
transmission could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile
telecommunication, or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the
entire original writing or transmission.

        All voting, including on the election of directors but excepting where
otherwise required by law, may be by a voice vote; provided, however, that upon

stock vote shall be taken. Every stock vote shall be taken by ballots, each of
which shall state the name of the stockholder or proxy voting and such other
information as may be required under the procedure established for the meeting.

        The Corporation may, and to the extent required by law, shall, in
advance of any meeting of stockholders, appoint one or more inspectors to act at
the meeting and make a written report thereof. The Corporation may designate one
or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to
act. If no inspector or alternate is able to act at a meeting of stockholders,
the person presiding at the meeting may, and to the extent required by law,
shall, appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector,
before entering upon the discharge of his duties, shall take and sign an oath
faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and
according to the best of his ability. Every vote taken by ballots shall be
counted by a duly appointed inspector or inspectors.

        All elections shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast, and
except as otherwise required by law, all other matters shall be determined by a
majority of the votes cast affirmatively or negatively.

at a place, then the list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of
the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any
stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of
remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any
stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible
electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be
provided with the notice of the meeting.

this Section 9.

        Nominations by stockholders of persons for election to the Board may be
made at such a special meeting of stockholders if the stockholder's notice
required by this Section 9 shall be


                                     - 10 -
<PAGE>

delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation
not later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth day prior to
such special meeting or the tenth day following the day on which public
announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the
nominees proposed by the Board to be elected at such meeting.

        For purposes of this Section, "public announcement" shall mean

        Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9, a
stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations there under with respect to matters set forth
in this Section 9. Nothing in this Section 9 shall be deemed to affect any
rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation's
proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act and nothing in
this Section 9 shall give any stockholder any right to include a proposal in the
Corporation's proxy statement unless such stockholder has complied with all of
the requirements of Rule 14a-8.

Bylaws, an outstanding certificate for the number of shares involved shall be

entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment

the business nor the purpose of any meeting need be specified in such a waiver.
Attendance at any meeting shall constitute waiver of notice except attendance
for the sole purpose of objecting to the timeliness of notice.

reports or statements presented to the Corporation by any of its officers or

             ARTICLE IX - INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

        SECTION 1.    RIGHT TO INDEMNIFICATION.


                                     - 22 -
<PAGE>

        Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a
party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit, or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative (hereinafter a "PROCEEDING"),
by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the
Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a
director, officer, employee, or agent of another Corporation or of a
partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, including service with
respect to an employee benefit plan (hereinafter an "INDEMNITEE"), whether the
basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a
director, officer, employee, or agent or in any other capacity while serving as
a director, officer, employee, or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless
by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General
Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the
case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the
Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted
the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense,
liability, and loss (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise
taxes, or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or
suffered by such indemnitee in connection therewith; provided, however, that,
except as provided in Section 3 of this ARTICLE IX with respect to proceedings
to enforce rights to indemnification, the Corporation shall indemnify any such
indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such
indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board
of Directors of the Corporation.

        SECTION 2.    RIGHT TO ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES.

        The right to indemnification conferred in Section 1 of this ARTICLE IX
shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses (including
attorney's fees) incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its
final disposition (hereinafter an "ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES"); provided, however,
that, if the Delaware General Corporation Law requires, an


                                     - 23 -
<PAGE>

advancement of expenses incurred by an indemnitee in his or her capacity as a
director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is
rendered by such indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to an
employee benefit plan) shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an
undertaking (hereinafter an "UNDERTAKING"), by or on behalf of such indemnitee,
to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final
judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (hereinafter a
"FINAL ADJUDICATION") that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for
such expenses under this Section 2 or otherwise. The rights to indemnification
and to the advancement of expenses conferred in Sections 1 and 2 of this ARTICLE
IX shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an indemnitee
who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee, or agent and shall inure to
the benefit of the indemnitee's heirs, executors and administrators.

        SECTION 3.    RIGHT OF INDEMNITEE TO BRING SUIT.

        If a claim under Section 1 or 2 of this ARTICLE IX is not paid in full
by the Corporation within sixty (60) days after a written claim has been
received by the Corporation, except in the case of a claim for an advancement of
expenses, in which case the applicable period shall be twenty (20) days, the
indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to
recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If successful in whole or in part in any
such suit, or in a suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of
expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the indemnitee shall be
entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In
(i) any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification
hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to an
advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that, and (ii) in any suit
brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the
terms of an undertaking, the Corporation


                                     - 24 -
<PAGE>

shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that, the
indemnitee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in
the Delaware General Corporation Law. Neither the failure of the Corporation
(including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its
stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such
suit that indemnification of the indemnitee is proper in the circumstances
because the indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in
the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the
Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its
stockholders) that the indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of
conduct, shall create a presumption that the indemnitee has not met the
applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the
indemnitee, be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the indemnitee to
enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder,
or brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to
the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the indemnitee is not
entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this
ARTICLE IX or otherwise, shall be on the Corporation.

        SECTION 4.    NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF RIGHTS.

        The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses
conferred in this ARTICLE IX shall not be exclusive of any other right which any
person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, the Corporation's
Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or
disinterested directors, or otherwise.

        SECTION 5.    INSURANCE.

        The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect
itself and any director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation or
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise
against any expense, liability, or loss, whether or not the


                                     - 25 -
<PAGE>

Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense,
liability, or loss under the Delaware General Corporation Law.

        SECTION 6.    INDEMNIFICATION OF EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS OF THE
                      CORPORATION.

                  The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to
time by the Board of Directors, grant rights to indemnification and to the
advancement of expenses to any employee or agent of the Corporation to the
fullest extent of the provisions of this Article with respect to the
indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the
Corporation.


                             ARTICLE X - AMENDMENTS

        In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by law, the
Board of Directors is expressly authorized to make, alter, amend, and repeal
these Bylaws subject to the power of the holders of capital stock of the
Corporation to alter, amend or repeal the Bylaws; provided, however, that, with
respect to the powers of holders of capital stock to make, alter, amend, and
repeal Bylaws of the Corporation, notwithstanding any other provision of these
Bylaws or any provision of law which might otherwise permit a lesser vote or no
vote, but in addition to any affirmative vote of the holders of any particular
class or series of the capital stock of the Corporation required by law, these
Bylaws or any preferred stock, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least
sixty-six and 7/10 percent (66.7%) of the voting power of all of the
then-outstanding shares entitled to vote generally in the election of directors,
voting together as a single class, shall be required to make, alter, amend, or
repeal any provision of these Bylaws.

                      ARTICLE XI - EQUAL OPPORTUNITY POLICY

        Consistent with the Corporation's equal employment opportunity policy,
nominations for the election of directors shall be made by the Board of
Directors and voted upon


                                     - 26 -
<PAGE>

by the stockholders in a manner consistent with these bylaws and without regard
to the nominee's race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex, age, national origin,
veteran status, or disability.

          control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules
          13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the registrant and have:
               (a)  Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused
               such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our
               supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the
               registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made

               the registrant's most recent fiscal quarter (the registrant's
               fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) that has
               materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
               affect, the registrant's internal control over financial
               reporting; and
     5.   The registrant's other certifying officer(s) and I have disclosed,
          based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial
          reporting, to the registrant's auditors and the audit committee of the

          function):

               design or operation of internal control over financial reporting
               which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant's
               ability to record, process, summarize and report financial
               information; and
               (b)  Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management
               or other employees who have a significant role in the

     1.   I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of Marine Products
          Corporation;
     2.   Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue
          statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
          necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances
          under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to
          the period covered by this report;
     3.   Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
          information included in this report, fairly present in all material
          respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows
          of the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this
          report;
     4.   The registrant's other certifying officer(s) and I are responsible for
          establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as
          defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and internal
          control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules
          13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the registrant and have:
               (a)  Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused
               such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our
               supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the
               registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made
               known to us by others within those entities, particularly during
               the period in which this report is being prepared;
               (c)  Evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure
               controls and procedures and presented in this report our
               conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls
               and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this
               report based on such evaluation; and
               (d)  Disclosed in this report any change in the registrant's
               internal control over financial reporting that occurred during
               the registrant's most recent fiscal quarter (the registrant's
               fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) that has
               materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
               affect, the registrant's internal control over financial
               reporting; and
     5.   The registrant's other certifying officer(s) and I have disclosed,
          based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial
          reporting, to the registrant's auditors and the audit committee of the
          registrant's board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent
          function):
               (a)  All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the
               design or operation of internal control over financial reporting
               which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant's
               ability to record, process, summarize and report financial
               information; and
               (b)  Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management
               or other employees who have a significant role in the
               registrant's internal control over financial reporting.
