Guys;
Considering a new SX25 but know very little about them.....anyone know how well built they are? How they are holding up in service? Quality of fittings etc?
Factory backup any good?

What are the nearest competitors in quality/cost?

I was going for a new Ebbtide but am considering the SX25 as an alternative.

Any advice appreciated!

Hi Sunvilla

The new Mariah's (post 2002) went thru some quality issues when they first started up but it seems like they now have things under control and are building good quality, affordable family style boats.

There are lots of competitors in that category: Bayliner, Grew, Doral, Stingray, Rinker etc...

Have a read thru some of the other posts in the new Mariah section of our site and that should give you a good idea of what they are like as far as reliability & service.
