Greetings all, First post! Been lurking around for awhile soaking up the advice this board offers. Now I have my question...
Replacing my 94 Marada that was crushed when the boatport collapsed from snow/ice. Been looking at used but haven't seen anything the struck me as a deal. Then my wife and I saw a new 08 Mariah SX18. Nice lookiing boat with lots of features I like. Bottom line, 17.5K out the door. They also had a couple of 09 R18.9's for similiar prices. Started looking at what else was out there, closest price wise it an 08 Glastron 185 with similiar features for 16.9K.
I want to stay in this price range so please don't tell me to go bigger. This suits me for the use and boat slip where it will rest between uses.
My question is, are they comparable boats? I've seen posts about people giving somewhat negative reviews on the Mariahs but would like actual owners perspectives for both makes. Thanks!
