We are looking at a 2002 diabla and would like to know what everyone thinks of these boats? Any help would be greatly appreciated

    The SeaFox version (2002 & newer) is not the same boat as the original Mariahs and is no where near the same quality. Being that 2002 was the first year SeaFox made boats under the Mariah name, you might want to have someone knowledgable about boats to check it over very closely.

    Well I called Sea Fox today and they did not start making boats until 2003. The info I got is that the 02 was actually made in 01 before they closed the door. I bought the boat and I hope I made a good purchase. I really like the boat!

    That is good news for you! The original Mariah's are excellent boats. The only downside is that they are difficult to get original Mariah parts for them so you will have to do a little searching. Best of luck with your new boat. I love mine

    Congratulations on your purchase Sheli, i'm sure you will be very happy with it. That's very interesting that Mariah had a 2002 model. I thought 2001 was their last model year, interesting. Sounds like a good find though, you'll have to keep us all updated on it and be sure to post pictures in the gallery asap so we all can drool!
