So I have never owned a Mariah. But I have an option for one that seems like a good deal and was well maintained and taken care of. My only concern is I wonder if its to big for the lake we would mainly use it on (family cottage). this most definetly wouldn't be the only place it was used and would be very fitting with the others. The family lake has a very gradual dropoff, for example my brother has a Four winns 180 horizon, and do get the boat off the trailer he is backed in a llong ways with the water to the bottom of the box. There is also a sandbar that is the frequent hotspot that is pretty shallow, hoping on and off the boat would be happening a lot. Whats your guys thoughts. To big?

The dead rise is the shallows killer for Mariahs. Mine is 20 degrees meaning a very deep vee. I have to assume yours is the same or maybe a little less of 18 degrees. I wouldn't let that deter me from owning one though. The half of percent being on the sandbar vs. the remaining 99.5 % of time actually on the water.
Savvy ?
