Re: 1996 255 shabah
I't an original Mariah, it's a 25' cuddy, and with the 502 it probably goes like a scalded cat...
These are really well built boats (the Mariah slogan was "Equipped like no other") If it has been well maintained you shouldn't have too much to worry about. Your local market will of course dictate price, but if it's in good shape I'd say the price is reasonable. As the original Mariah boats is no longer in business, some of the interior parts will be difficult or impossible to find, so those kinds of repairs will become "custom" jobs. We have a long list of suppliers for most of the other hardware on the boats. If you have any specific concerns post 'em up. There are lots of knowledgeable and freindly users here ready to answer them. |

thansk for your helpful reply. the interior is in great shape. the only problem that i can find on the boat is the gel coat has turned a cloudy white. i have talked to a guy at work that says there is a three stage process that can get this out.
once again, thanks. Evan Reimer Illinois |

Meguairs 3 step oxidation remover. Myself (and several other owners) have used it with very pleasing results. That, and some good old elbow grease should do the trick.

ditto what Z202 said. It really does a great job if you take your time and do it right! :wink_thumbup:
