Does anyone have any insight/thoughts/comments on Mariah. Specifically
the newer models (2004 - present.) The boat would be used in
combination
salt/freshwater, nothing offshore, but definitely on the Intercoastal.


I'd stay away from the newer models. The owner had trouble with union
employees back in '01, and coupled with 9/11, and some personal health
problems, had to close the doors. The brand was reintroduced (by the
owners
of Sea Fox I believe), but with much poorer quality.

Thank you. Our local dealer in South Carolina is also owned by the
builder. Would this be a benefit when service needs arise?

And service will arise quite often on the newer Mariah's...at least from
what I've heard.
