How about Mariah

[Eliminator21vdrive]

I found a 1994 Mariah davanti 225 not sure of the power/drive yet ,clean dice looking old man boat. Anybody familiar with them? I am looking for a turn key float that I can run for a few years.

Yes my family bought a 94 mariah new and it was a great boat that was built solid. It was a great family boat that rode great in mead and arrowhead chop. They were built in Benton Illinois but are no longer around.

My parents have a 19' Mariah. Great little runabout.

And here I thought thread this had something to do with Mariah Carey...

I prefer the boat over her

Yep we had 23.5 cabin cruiser Tulare 350 fuel injected alpha drive we ran for 5 years around SF Bay & Delta. Great boat, didn't crush waves. Put 600+ hours on it & sold it for $6100 more than we paid for it.

I have a 2001 Mariah Z 275ST SHABAH CNTR CABIN with a 496HO. With the swim step, it’s 30’ long. Bought it back in 2012. Has about 335 hours now. Great boat, built really well. Have the center cabin with a queen size bed and an open bow. Handles waves like my twin Formulas. Of course, nowhere as fast

Look at the trailer very closely. I had a Prestige trailer that was from the factory. It was a tube frame. Rusted internally and had huge cracks. Had to scrap it and build a new galvanized one, even though I rarely use it in the ocean.
