I think there is nothing prettier than the all red Mariahs. . that could be because I have one. Let me tell you though that they are the hardest boat on the water to keep looking good. I am pretty anal about mine and it drives me crazy keeping the water spots off of it. If you buy it, I would definately invest in the meguires kit, it works well. I just bought an electric orbital buffer and it has more than cut my waxing time in half.

Nice looking boat. Love the red. Lots of nice features on it as well. There is just one small thing that kinda would slow me down on this. Well actually 3 small things.

You said you would like to be able to overnite on the boat you get. You also mentioned 3 small children. IMHO it doesnt have the space you would need to overnite on this boat.

I did find a Z280 or something like that thought that was very nice, looked clean great features as well but was significantly more dinero.

We bought our 252 last year and love it............................BUT............... the wife ( you read that correctly) got 2footitus and wants a boat we can sleep on.

Just trying to keep you from ending up in the same spot as I am with trying to sell a boat that I want to keep but need to replace to keep mama happy.

Because everyone knows............ if mama aint happy.......................no one is.

Good luck to you.

Just found the ads I was looking at. Check out Iboats.com and do a general search for Mariah there are a few cuddys that look pretty nice, just more money.

Shabah Z250 is right about the solid color gel coat mine is grey and man when I got her I had to do alot of waxing but now is all good. Keeping it up is easy just wax it about every couple of months and you will be ok. Good luck and let us know if you get it.:yes_grin::yes_grin:

OK, my bad. I've never notices that style. I've only ever seen the rectangular shaped ones...
