    If I had the cash and the time I would snatch this one up. Red fades within a very short time out in the sun and the vinyl can be redone in a much better material than Mariah used in those days.

    Someone jump on this and I will personally guide you through the process of rebuilding her to better than new condition.

    $12,000.........................on craigslist with a newer 496.

    Fiberglass can be buffed out.............vinyl can be redone but you will not find another 30' mcob for this kind of money no matter what condition.

    Deal Deal Deal Deal Deal Deal

    I found my 01' Excursion diesel on CL for $5200. Deals can be found if your willing to travel a bit for it.

    Needs a trailer according to the ad. Also just IMO, any boat that has been neglected physically that bad will be neglected as bad or worse mechanically. I dont know how much weight I would put into the mechanicals being in as good of shape as the ad proclaims. I would say anything over 8g is gambling.

    How is that on a dual axle trailer? Thought it would be way too much weight.

    Patrick: If you read the eBay ad you will see that the trailer the boat is sitting on is not the trailer that goes with the boat. If you look closely at the pics on eBay you will see the (rotted) matching trailer sitting behind the boat.
