Hi all,
New to the group just stumbled upon it because I am going to look at a mariah diablo this weekend. It's only 5k from a dealer. The boat is at a Marina and wrapped and winterized for the season So I cant sea trial it. I asked the Marina about holding it till spring with a 50% deposit the guy basically said he hold it for 100% and I can sea trial it in spring. The bill of sale will note that if there are any issues noted during the sea trial that they will be fixed or a check will be cut and deposit refunded.

I looked into the legitimacy of the marina and they have a good report on Google, facebook and BBB reviews So I think I am comfortable with this however I was wondering if anyone else would consider doing this? I think If I wait around the boat could be scooped up...
He said he has all documentation for repairs and general maintenance as it was a local boat that the marina maintained and could share all that with me when I come to put deposit on it.

Also for the final question does anyone else see any issues with the price point of this boat being 5k its a little lower then my initial budget but the boat itself checks all the boxes we were looking for.
I know it is a 20 year old boat the Marina has insured me they're are 0 issues with it. They wouldnt sell anything with issues. Anything I should look for specifically?
Is the Hull of this Mariah specifically reliable? Any wood?

As long as the refund terms are written into the sales contract and the boat checks out visually, it should be okay.
