Default New Guy with a barn find

New to the forum , my name is Chris and i have been looking for a Mariah for several weeks,and yesterday i found one ofcourse it was 200 miles away. The boat is a 2000 z182 with only 10 hrs yes 10 hrs. After talking to the marina on the phone i gave them a deposit and jumped in the truck for a drive 3hrs later i arived, looked over the boat, dropped it in the water(only the third time the boat has ever been in water) and fell in love. Gentlman bought the boat new used it twice got sick and passed, the boat sat in a barn for 10 years coverd up until week before last. The marina got it on consignment did a full service,changed all the fluids replased the impeller,and many other things a total of $1500 in service and detailed it. What a great feeling to have a basically brand new Mariah..i will be taking it out this weekend and will load pictures. here is a link to the marina click on inventory scroll down to 2000 mariah to see pics and info from them.
