Dredd - Kansas - MX-19
Hey from central Kanas! http://generaldredd.googlepages.com/wavey.gif
I've been lurking around for a while and just decided to finally introduce myself. Welcomes are always so warm around here! I was really glad to find a community supporting the boat that I wanted. This '93 MX-19 is my first boat. I did lots of looking and researching before buying and like many other members, after seeing the quality of this older Mariah, found nothing else could hold a candle in the wind. We're so excited we've already taken it out once... yep... mid February in Kansas. :) I'm currently upgrading the stereo. The next upgrades on my list are tinted windows and LED lights. http://generaldredd.googlepages.com/MX-19.JPG The boat was listed on CL, we went and looked at it but thought it was a little overpriced so we continued our search. We took a road trip one weekend to visit some friends, talked about the MX-19 all the way there and decided we should go for it if the owner would accept $500 under his asking price. We got to our friends' house and I went to pull up the CL ad to show off our decision... and it was gone!!! Our hearts sank. I searched for two more weeks before it miraculously showed back up on CL. The previous owners had decided to just keep it but then changed their minds again and relisted it (they're about to have their first baby). Anyway, I called him less than an hour after he posted the ad and the boat was ours the next day. We paid full price but we have no apprehensions. |

Welcome to the board Dredd! Your MX19 looks to be in great shape. And congrats on being able to find one, even if you paid full asking price, it WILL be worth it once boating season arrives! Feel free to ask any questions you might have, we're all here to help! :wink_thumbup:

Ahoy Dredd,
Glad to have you aboard and Shabah Z250's right, that's one good looking 93 MX-19 you've got there! If you have any more pictures of your MX-19, upload them to our gallery if you like. For a tutorial on uploading to our gallery, Click here. We have a growing library of information, manuals, most brochures and all sorts of information relevant to your Mariah, the stern drives and equipment. All of these are available to our contributing members. Click here to see what each level has to offer. We also have a Member Map, so take some time to stick your pin on it. Here's a tutorial on adding your pin: Click here Since you're new to boat ownership you might find a checklist helpful, I've attached an excellent one at the bottom of this post, it was created by dudders, one of our members from down under! Click on the file, it should open but if it doesn't, then it probably downloaded to your PC, in which case, you may need to search your system to locate the file. Let me know if it gives you any trouble! If you need any help getting around the Forum, just shout, WetWilly |

Nice Mariah, looks like she has had a well cared for previous owner. I noticed the SD boat registration, did you buy it in South Dakota? Enjoy your boat!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Dredd - Kansas - MX-19
We'll spend most our time on the resevoirs around Wichita, El Dorado and Cheney. But we plan to make Table Rock about 3 times and hopefully Kaw once, depending on what petrol prices do this season.
I like your boat model. I bet that's a really fun boat. There's a car in the parking lot of my office with a MidwestBoatParty.com sticker on the back of it but most those members are from closer to KC, right? |
Re: Dredd - Kansas - MX-19
