Not sure if this is the right forum place but was wondering if you guys could give me some insight on a Mariah I am looking into purchasing.

Here is the link: A lot of boat for the money

I'm assuming it is a 97 instead of "87" as the post states. There are only the few pictures but I'm going to request more and go out and look at it.

Just curious if the asking price is reasonable and if you notice anything out of the ordinary in the few pics available. I will post more pictures when I get them.

Thanks,
Jerrami

    Deffently not 87. My buddy has that same boat in burgandy and loves it. He pulls tubers all day. I wonder why they painted the bottom if he stored inside. Make sure to check the transome for any soft spots. I do like this boat but i am impartail to the Jubilee.

    The asking price is definitely reasonable and the boat looks okay in what photos there are but... i would want to see his maintenance records, check for any soft spots in the floor & transom areas, check the general cleanliness of the engine/bilge area, make sure all of the electrics work properly including the trim/tilt & gauge and above all, get her on the water for a test run.
