1994 205 Davanti info?
 

Hi all!

I am an aspiring Original Mariah owner and am hoping that you guys can guide me.

We are hoping to buy our first boat and after a lot of reading, I think a Mariah would be a great first boat. I am looking at a 94 Mariah 205 Davanti. I cannot find any information about this boat. Can you point me to any information on this model boat?

Also, what should I be looking for on it? The boat has a fresh-water cooling system from what I understand and the owner has taken good care of the boat. It has been stored in a covered area for the winters and been trailered during summer months.

Any information and guidance you can give me is greatly appreciated.

Thanks a bunch.

Is there something I need to look for when I am looking at the boat this weekend? I am a complete novice as far as a boat is concerned. Hence any advice is greatly appreciated.

I have a '94 225 with all the original paperwork.
If you need something specific let me know.

Check that one problem with the davanti i've had is it is difficult to keep on course at low speed.... it's left right left right left right... I 'm hoping smart tabs will solve that. :)

added 8-7-12
smart tabs did fix the constant correction needed to maintain a course
