Hello. I began looking at the owner's forum upon considering the purchase of a 2009 R20.9 w/ very low hours. This would be our second power boat (previously had a sea ray 185). It appears most of the forum participants are original mariah owners. I am interested to hear what forum members think about the mariah-sea fox boats, ease of getting parts, warranty service, etc. We have no mariah dealers in our area (virginia) and you encounter few mariahs on the water. thanks in advance for your input and happy boating!

There are lots of comments/opinions presented in the forums under the section for New Sea-Fox / Mariahs so a little reading would be in order. You can also read an owner review of the same model boat you are looking at here and a professional review here.

Welcome to the board, ssva!

You will find that most of us are the "original" Mariah owners, but we're trying to recruit as many Sea Fox Mariah members as possible. We try to help out and support our "new" Mariah friends as much as we can!

For parts & warranty, we have some contacts at the factory that are listed in the New Mariah Talk forum. We even have a few members affiliated with Sea Fox who may be helpful too.

thanks for the reply! I had seen one of these posts before, but missed the second.

This last summer the wife and I traded our 19' Searay Seville in for a R19 2011 Mariah and are extremely happy with it. The ride is much better and a lot more room. Can't wait until spring to get it back in the water.
