Addendum to first post - Marada?

[Douglas K]

Anyone heard of Marada made by Armada Mfg? All I can determine is the boat is made in KY. What kind of quality? reputation? The one for sale in my area is an 18' open bow, I/O 115 hp Mercruiser.

Marada is pushing up the daisies.<br />Kaput, no more.<br />Sizzle Marine in Cloumbus has/had a barely used one they are/were stuck with.

They were popular here in TN. They were very nice and I never heard any major complaints.

Just remember that they are now orphaned boats with zero factory and dealer support.<br /><br />The one Sizzle had looked really nice and had some nice features. Seemed to be light years ahead of Bayliner "quality" in terms of fit, finish, and parts....more like a Sea Ray or similar.

Thanks bomar and jasonb. That explains why their website is no longer available. I think I'll pass. Is Sizzle Marine good to deal with?

From what my cohorts who have purchased from them say I gather that if you buy a boat from Sizzle they are ok.<br />Not spectacular, but ok.<br /><br />If you buy a boat anywhere else (including privatly) and go there for ANYTHING for it you are S.O.L. Have heard that from countless boaters.
