Hello all.

I am a newbie boat owner. I bought a 1982 Searay 20' bowrider 6 years or so ago. Unfortunately, the engine has died. Not worth putting money into it as the floor is going bad.

I am looking at a 1995 210 talaria bowrider with a 5.7 merc. from the photos, it looks like it is in good condition. 390 hours on the engine.

I am totally unfamiliar with this boat. Can someone tell me if this is a good boat. asking price is $8,500.

Any thoughts would be helpful.

    Hi Mike; You do realize that you are asking a bunch of Mariah enthusiasts whether or not their boats are any good dont you?

    Price appears to be reasonable but with some room to negotiate. Make sure all of the electrics work particularly the trim & trim gauge. Make sure the upholstery is in reasonably good condition as it can cost $$ to put right. Ask for copies of repair/regular maintenance/winterizing invoices to be sure it was looked after and above all get it on the water and make sure it runs right.

    i do realize that indeed. Who better to ask about the quality of a boat than those who own it. Thanks for the insight.

    Mikey .......you sure know what to say
    Mike once you look at the Talari close you'll see the craftsmanship and attention to detail.
    Check it out and make him a offer like Mikey said.

    BTW , Welcome to MOC!
