Default 1993 diablo 4.3l

Just picked her up today, 3 grand. I don't think the guy knew what he had. This will be my third boat to own. Can not wait to get her on the lake.
It is a little faded on the blue parts. I am also missing one of the emblem's from the side. Do they still make these?
I live in Houston Texas

    IIRC, 205HP is the rating of the 4.3L with 4bbl carb.

    Your hurting me. I thought I got the best steal. I bought a 93 Barchetta with 4.3LX (205 hp) for 5 grand. It is in similar condition to your diablo. Have fun. You will love it!

    Hmmm, I know even I don't like to re-activate olds posts... but I had to..hah.

    Obviously the difference in canadian dollar vs american is one thing, but I paid double what you did for my Diablo. Plus I didn't get a trailer OR even a 4.3L. I have the 3.0 power house. (Yes mikeyT I used that in the same sentence..haha)

    When I finish college and hopefully land a new job, making what the profs say I should be making. There might just be a new Mariah one day for me. The girlfriend already knows I would like to get a newer / faster boat.

    As for your emblems, I remember from time to time the original ones would pop up on Ebay (or the user on here..forgot his alias), but what I ended up doing was removing the glue from the hull and sticking the "new design" emblems in its place. Honestly, unless you are a hard core Mariah fan, the average joe won't notice the difference. Plus for say $25 each, its going to be cheaper than the original. But to each their own.

    Looks good!

    "3.0" and "power house" should never be used in the same sentence..

    You have a very nice boat as well. The boat was not running worth a crap when I bought it. Did a tune up and adjusted the timming and now that thing is hard to keep in the water.
