I spoke with Jimmy himself before he passed away, and the reason he decided to close Mariah was due to the struggling boat sales market, and it was costing him upwards of $50k - $75k per week of his own money to keep the factory operational. In my conversations with him, he did mention he was personal friends with most of his dealers, but never mentioned buying back inventory from any of them.

    Well I drove 9hrs one way to get my Mariah and no it wasn't the best taken careof but I think I got a decent deal none the less. I will fix the issues on priority basis and I have to say the ride on this boat is awesome.

    Dark, 9 or 10 hours wouldn't be too bad and we could make a weekend of it. I was actually thinking of flying in and renting a truck from Budget to drag it back. I've been trying to find something in a bordering state like Texas, Arizona, or Colorado. Unfortunately, the best looking boat I've seen is close to Lake of the Ozarks and I don't know if I'm going to make it out there before they sell.

    This is a little small for us, but a big block in a 21' boat sounds like fun:

    Are those factory graphics?

    Where are you located at? I am in St. Louis, MO and noticed that both of these boats came up for sale. They both appear to be in excellent condition. If I had the additional funds, I would jump on either one of these.

    I have no idea. I have not called on it. Do you think it is a really good price?

    Just curious.

    The 302 did say it had a trailer in the add, but still pretty high price, low hours though...nice boat.

    I think the price on that 252 is great though, Ive seen alot lesser boats go for that price.
