Broker's Comments

Here we have a very fast and capable Mariah Z260 Sports Cruiser. She appears to be in good condition and has a very powerful fuel injected V8 Mercruiser 7.4 MP1 motor and almost new Bravo three duo prop outdrive with stainless props.
The boat offers good accommodation for weekends away for up to 4 people or a small family and is well equipped with a large heads and shower wet compartment with sea toilet to holding tank, compact but well equipped galley and a spacious cockpit to enjoy the ride and relax on those sunny summer days.

The step-through screen construction ensures safe and easy access to the foredeck and bow.
She is in original GRP which all appears to be very good and she has a stylish and sporty stance that will definitely turn heads!

Make no mistake this is a fast cruiser, however this boat is just as happy running at riverspeeds and using very little fuel to do so, but can also light up and deliver a very exhilarating driving performance in the right place and offers huge flexibility and capability in a respected and compact package.

Her mechanics have been constantly maintained and no expense has been spared in doing so. There are bills available that detail all of this work which including a brand new outdrive and transom shield in winter 2014-5 and other engine maintenance and work which total close to £20k! She has new batteries that have just been fitted, and has very few hours since the engine and leg work was completed.

This smart boat offer a fun stay-cation option and is just a happy as a river cruiser or coastal cruising boat and represents a great value "get away from it all" investment.

If I was to be critical of her, she could do with a few small things replacing such as sink/ basin plugs and and maybe a deep refresh /clean as she has been sat ashore and unused for over three years now. The refrigerator is also not fixed in place but this is the work of moments with a couple of fixing screws. This said, her general condition looks to be very good as she has been kept undercover in a barn on a trailer which is included int the sale. The trailer has only been stood for some time so I would recommend inspection of this before towing the vessel anywhere.
She does not have a current BSC however she has had one in recent years and the vendor will arrange for a fresh test and cert to be completed after the sale is agreed so the new owner will have a fresh Boat Safety cert for 4 years!
