hello - up untill about a week ago i have never heard of mariah boats, but sometimes things change quite fast, last week an acquaintance needed to get rid of a 1996 mariah 200, gave it to me with one problem, they forgot to winterize last winter, a big problem here in minnestoa, the mariah is like new , always stored indoors in winter and on a canopy lift in summer , big problem is the block has a crack - water in the oil, water/oil mixture about 3" deep in bilge, i have an engine lined up to be installed in the early spring ready for next years boating season, can't wait!!!

Well congradulations. At least you will be investing in good equipment for a well made boat for sure. Im sure you will enjoy her for years to come.

Welcome aboard.

Welcome to the forum. Your new engine will probably wear out before the structure of the boat does. This is a good thing, lol.
Happy Boating
