Can't really help since I have no first hand experience with either brand. But, are they powered similarly? Power might make a difference. Also, I assume the 180 = 18' and the SX 19 = 19'. So, the mariah is 2 years newer and one foot longer (assuming equal condition) - just a thought. Good luck.

Re: choosing between mariah or four winns

go for the 08 as the resale will be higher in 5 years....

in 5 years the 4winns will reach the big drop off point of max 5k....while you will still be able to get 8k out of the 2008

You are boating inland, correct?

Bairdski, I recently purchased the 2007 DX212 model and love it. These are well-built and comfortable boats and I agree with oops on the future value.
