Default Need information

Hello, I am planning on bidding on a Mariah that is up for auction this tommorow. Can I get some help with some information regarding this boat. All I have is a vin number and some pictures. I have not seen the boat in person. I would like to know the length and what motor it came with. Presently the motor is gone. Also, what is the reputation of Mariah boats? Any information is greatly appricated. Tha Vin # is MABxxxxxxxxx



Thank you.

    What model is it? I can tell you its a 1998 from the hull id but that's about it. There isn't much to go on here with just that pic but it looks like it might be a 260 which is 25'10", 6750lbs, 110gal fuel tank and choice of motor starting with a 5.7L

    As for the reputation of Mariah boats if they didn't have a good reputation we would not have formed this Owners Club.

    Sorry, I cannot make out any model number or any else that would help indenify the length or model number. I believe it hade a 7.4 liter, although the motor is gone there is some kind of cover down below the deck with 7.4 MPI on it.

    I'm going to venture a guess it's a 260 as well. However, without a full side profile shot, it's hard to tell. Two telling factors are where the bow rails attach in relation to the side windows, and the length of the grab rails in the back. The 7.4L MPI was offered on both models. But it sure looks like a 260 to me from that photo.

    With the amount of work needed on that boat, you better get it for real cheap! Good luck and hope you get it for steal if you go for it!

    The boat seems to be in good condition, just missing the motor and outdrive. Anyone want to guess at what it is worth in good condtion. Here is another picture.

    Again, there isn't much here to go on. Maybe $10k-$12k?
