Nice except for the Cobra drive. I've had 2 and they are really picky with drive fluid. Not to mention parts are literally sky high. I like the boat for sure. Price.....seems high to me but hey it is a Mariah!!!

"I'm forced to sell... ...I'll trade for a different toy of equal or more value." Interesting.

In other words "My new wife or girlfriend does not like boating, but Im wiling to try other forms of recreation that are land based"

I totally agree with Colorado. I had an old Cobalt with twin cobra outdrives. Parts are impossible to find, and you will grow to hate the term knuckle drive! I had to search for along time to even find a mechanic that would work on them. The story that I was told from that mechanic was that back in the day, Mercruiser and Volvo created their outdrives and patented them. So OMC was left with trying to create an entirely new way to sync the engine and outdrive system together. But was really restricted due to the patents already in place by Mercruiser and Volvo. At least, that is what he told me!

Once OMC sold out to Volvo/Penta things got way better in my opinion. :)
