Default Original Mariah Building

Sadily,the building where we made the original Mariah's is now vacant again and is up for sale...and is now showing its lack of maintenance It was owned by Godfrey Marine Illinois/Hurricane Boats...Mr Jimmy would be spinning in his grave if he saw it.....I work at BRP/Sea Doo Boats in Benton,I pass the old place every work day and it just breaks my heart...we had a lot of good times there..

    Hi drnil73,

    I agree, it is sad for a building with such a rich history to slowly fade away.

    I agree, unfortunately it is but a microcosm of what is taking place nationally.
