Re: Hi from England
Welcome aboard Paul! Only a sailor prior to this? Another convert! 
Original Mariahs (pre 2002) are very well built boats and if properly looked after will provide years of enjoyment. The new Mariah (different owner) is slightly downscale but still well done. Things to look for? As Mariah did a lot of work in house, items like interior trim pieces, instrument panels, emblems and windshield glass & frames are difficult to find but a number of our members have gone the rebuild / repair the original piece route and posted their experiences here. Engine / outdrives / electrical parts are still widely available. Having a boat examined by a marine surveyor is usually a good idea though. Since there are a number of Z250 owners here, i will let them provide their thoughts on that boat.
Ps....dont forget to 'pin' yourself on our Member Map!
