Size does Matter
 

I am in the market for a 23' or larger open bow. My financial state leaves me looking for around early to mid 90's models. Would love to hear some reviews from owners of 23' + owners on anything and everything mechanical, cosmetic, 7.4L BB chevy's, volvo or merc. outdrive etc. etc. And of course would LOVE to see some pictures.

Any tips as to common things to look for when buying a Mariah is also appreciated.

If you check out the gallery section you can get an idea as to what the different lengths and years look like. Depending on your budget I have seen 1998 25' Shabah's go for 15-20k but it will take some searching to get a good deal. Things you want to look for are the items that are irreplaceable, such as the dash and interior trim pieces. Most mechanical stuff is pretty standard. There is a list of parts suppliers in a thread somewhere.
