Sunset Bob -- many years ago (before the original design was sold) we too looked at Mariah's. In the end we chose Crownline and are currently in our second. At the time we found Mariah to be and an extremely attractive boat (personal preference) and very well constructed and appointed. However, the value ($$$) of Crownline won us over without sacrificing the detail in construction or the amenities included.

There are many name brands of boats out there to chose from - each suit a particular budget or consumer preference. A boat is an extremely "personal choice" based on your likes, your planned usaged, how they handle and of course your budget.

New or used, take a look at Crownlines and many others before you make a final decision. The beauty of Winni is that you are afforded the opportunity to "test drive" many of your choices before you commit. A tremendous benefit for you'd be amazed at how differently boats handle -- "out of the hole" power, turning, handling chop/waves, planing, etc.

Best of Luck with your decision.
