I think I got this in right category now. I am going to look at 1996 mariah 25' open bow Shabah. I thought mariah boats in past had good reputation and was wondering if anyone had any info or thoughts.

Thanks

While the original Mariah's were indeed high-end boats, solidly built and well appointed, you are looking at a 14 year old boat.

The care and maintanence it has recieved will be more important than the brand.

Re: 1996 Mariah

I use to own a 1996 Mariah Shabah Z210 Limited Edition. It had a 7.4liter merc with a bravo one drive. It had all the bells and whistles and the coolest feature at the time was the captains choice exhaust. A button that would let you choose to have the exhaust go out the lower unit or thru the hull above the water line.

It was a very well built heavy boat. Topped out about 67mph with 2 adults and gear. I owned the boat for 6 years without one lick of trouble. I do not know how the new ones are but if they are anything like the originals they were great boats.
