This is a best offer auction, do not wait until the end to bid, I may not be watching.  If you need it make a realistic offer!   97 MARIAH Z226 TALARIA 22' CUDDY CABIN 1 OWNER 280hr LOTS OF UNIQUE OPTIONS REAL CLEAN.  FREE SHIPPING WITHIN 200 MILES WITH BUY IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-Boat is real clean for its age and well cared for, I got it from the original owner this season but bought a new boat.  Cabin has hardly been used, the gas stove has never been used, port-i-potty, sink, lots of lighting, a screen for the roof hatch and an adjustable height table, all are like new.  The Interior Cushions look great, the big center cushion has 2 snags which are as big as a nickle.  The rear exterior seat cushions, the bench chair top & bottom and the motor hatch cover have been recovered as well as the wood on the hatch replaced.  Motor is a 5.7 Chevy Mercruiser with 280 original hours and runs awesome, manifolds have been changed.  Both the drive and the motor have been serviced this season, stainless steel prop.  2 new batteries with switch. Safety gear included: anchor, ropes, ski tow rope, life vests. This boat has alot of options which include; Docking lights, a windshield wiper, drivers windshield defroster, power driver seat, power lift for the motor hatch, a digital air/water temp meter (which does not work), an in dash compass that matches the gauge set, a depth finder, it had and as wired for a power radio antenna and has an operational power telescopic anchor light.  Galvanized Escort trailer included which is in real good condition.  4 new 15" tires, lights & wiring and heavy duty tongue jack, bearings recently serviced. PICTURES DO NOT DO IT JUSTICE!!! ALL the money has been spent on her already.     Very clean for its age but not perfect, no boat is.  The exterior is super clean for a 20 year old boat although the colored part of the gel coat shows sun fade, 20 years in FL you know. Other Flaws I have noticed, Stereo does not work but I have a new one in the box I can throw in, trim gauge does not work, comes with a bimini top that needs recovered.  There is a dock rub port side mid ship that can be seen in the picture, it has scratched the decal and put a mark or 2 on the boat, other than that she is real clean.  The boat was just used last month.  She is a good boat, starts up and runs great every time! Bottom line is its not perfect but you can fish it today and its 100% operational and reliable.  It will do everything you want it to do and more but I would never call it perfect.  I would rate the boat at an 8.75 out of 10!   I try to over explain everything so there are no surprises.BUYER PAYS $1000 DEPOSIT WITH IN 48 HOURS OF AUCTIONS END.  THE REST IS DUE ON PICK UP (DELIVERY FOR A FEE).  FOR OVERSEAS BUYERS; I WILL DELIVER TO ANY SHIPPING PORT FOR DOCK COSTS PLUS A FEE.
