New member, looking at a z275 davanti
 

How's it going guys. I'm new to the Mariah world and would love to get some feed back on the z275 davanti. I have done some research and know that Mariah's are great boats but any input would be awesome. A little run down on the boat. 1995 502 fI engine 475 hrs. it's a little rough around the edges but I'm not apposed to doing a little work. Things like missing pieces for the rear shower, engine hatch hydraulics not working, some gel coat chips and the snap in carpets are missing. Any input or things to look for would be great. Thanks in advance.

Welcome. Not familiar with your particular boat, but the original mariah are great. Biggest thing with them is none of them are newer boats! Doesn't matter what brand, age sucks. I'm trying to figure what gelcoat color my 97 is to redo it this year. Having trouble getting mariah to return calls since they went o.o.b. 15 years ago. Moral, great boats, most parts are over the counter, but when you need prescription parts, can be a pain. There is a oem supplier list on the sight from shabah z280 that is great tho. Good luck

Thanks for the response! This site has a lot of great info. Hopefully I can get a few replays from some chaps that's have owned or currently own a similar model.

I will say the z's are top of the line. Biggest thing is I would recommend is have it inspected if you aren't proficient at it. Could save a lot of money and headache. Mariah quality was mariah quality, through n through. Didn't matter the model, just different features. That boats quality basically depends on its previous care. If it inspects to your expectations and comfortable with price, and fits your needs n wants,go for it. Others can chime in, but that's my .02 on mariah.
