Default I want an original Mariah
Hi

On a Saturday in December of 2012 a guy walks into my kitchen, introduces himself and informs me that he is dating my wife. So that Monday when I saw my lawyer about filing for divorce and told him I lived on a lake he asked if I had a boat. I told him no and at this rate I would never own one. He said, yes you will, check out Mariah, I used to have one. Last year my neighbor sold me (actually my Mom) a Bayliner 175 Capri which is a great, small, fun boat just so we could get on the water. But for 5 years I have been looking at used Mariahs and dreaming. If the stars align by July 21 I will no longer have to pay alimony as my ex-wife has been co-habitating with said man since 2013. So 2 questions- What is a fair price for this boat- 1998 MARIAH Z 280 MCC and what is its draft? And what does MMC stand for? Thanks...

    Wow crazy story! I start at nada boats with the correctly selected options to get a base price. Then you need to look at your local market via craigslist to see what is going on. Z package comes with several options. Do a site search for the draft. Good luck!

    The draft is 26" with the drive up and 43" with the drive down.

    Yeah, to Hell with that bastard, glad you are in a state where cohabiting may matter - unlike Colorado. 11 more Alimony payments myself!

    Time to get that original Mariah and Alpha Up.

    Being a silver contributor gives you access to the brochures. That's where you will find the draft information you're seeking.
