I need some quick feedback on a possible purchase. 2001 Shaba 25 with new 454/385hp Merc with a three yr warranty. Boat owned by a certified Merc mechanic company. Boat looks absolutely clean. On Al trailer. Not sure what the options where, but its a got a Microwave, electric seats, stereo, dock lights, and I don't know what else. ASking $19K. What do you all think?

what kind of drive? sounds fair.

Appreciate the prompt reply. Drive is a Bravo 1. Marine Mech said he went through it and all checks out. One odd thing I found. The cuddy door (smoked plexiglass) is missing. SOmeone replace it with snaps and a canvas cover. Kind if odd.

Cuddy door was probably broken & replacements (used only) are very hard to find. A couple of members have made up ones from teak and are quite happy with them.

Mikey, APpreciate the reply. Thought about that also. Looks like it just drops right into the top and bottom track, so installtion should be simple. Just wondering if thats a sign of other hidden problems. However everything else looks clean. I'm going to try to get a line on original supplier and see if thats doable.

Like many of the interior trim pieces on original Mariahs, I believe the cuddy doors were done in house.

Thanks, That would pretty much end that plan. Thanks for the info.
