Hey guys and gals! Seriously considering a 1996 Shabah 190 and thought I'd register here so I could learn more about them and possibly ask a question or two. Looking forward to joining the club!

David

    Well, glad ya joined. Obviously you've already discovered that original Mariahs are really high quality boats. In a '96 Mariah you are literally going to find a ride and build quality that's on par with something like a modern Cobalt. Feel free to ask questions. Everyone here is glad to talk about boats and especially original Mariahs. Good luck with your decision and welcome to the forums!

    Thanks for the welcome guys! The boat I'm interested in is a '96 Shabah 190 with trailer. It is supposed to be in immaculate condition both cosmetically and mechanically (bit of a drive so I haven't seen it yet). Does $7,500 seem like a reasonable price?

    If the boat is in the condition the seller claims it to be then $7500 isn't out of line for this time of year. A water test would be in order to confirm how it runs and check that all of the electrics & gauges (particularly the outdrive trim switch & gauge) work correctly. You may have a little room for negotiation on the price.
