New Mariah to me
 

Here is a picture of my new Mariah... yes I will own TWO by the days end.

This will be the Mariah I am keeping:

It is a 2004 SX19, 5.0L

Fiberglass floor

Pile 6 Channel AM/FM/CD/MP3 Stereo with 600W Amp

low hours

Always fresh water used

Stainless steel Raptor prop

recently reupholstered although a few seams are popped (not ripped)

Runs like a bat out of hell.

I will be selling my other Mariah on the cheap.. just to move it. (2004 SX19 4.3 see the classifed listing on the site)

Re: New Mariah to me
 

On my new mariah there are some minor issues like replacing the depth finder, a few loose and broken bits of trim, this is the most major issue I found. It did not seem to affect the handling at all and the story I got was it had a stablier on the the outdrive and it flung off going down the highway.

The material of the outdrive appears to be cast. I wonder if its worth repairing with via filling/welding and painting? Thoughts?

Re: New Mariah to me
 

Just another example of what those ridiculous outdrive stabilizers can do. I would get the plate filled & welded then repainted to reduce the potential for cavitation damage to your prop.

Re: New Mariah to me
 

Any reputable prop repair shop can do that right?

Re: New Mariah to me
 

There are probably a large number of them in the NC, SC / Virginia area. Possibly someone here from that area can recommend a prop shop for you.

Here's one that i heard about but have no experience with: Blue Ridge Propellor Repairs. Website indicates he does lower unit welding along with hub repairs.

Thanks I heard of one here in Richmond on the East side of town.

Take a look... proud papa of TWINS!
