Looking to replace a older boat, for a neighbor that take's my kid fishing. Water and I don't mix, but the kid and old man next door do. the boat he had turned into a lack of trust thing, so he sold it. And a co-worker has this 18.5 Marada boat that's been in storage for 3 years, and going throuh a divorce. look's like new inside and out 4.3 merc/IO winterized for like I said 3 years. is this a good boat for the fair weather fishing team, are they still in production? the rig is a 99 with 126 hr on it look's like new, but as a non-boater- well I don't know bow from stern. Thanks for the time and info Is $4500 to much to pay for this sort of rig? I have looked around and it seem's like more then fair price, but it's the first marada we have seen.

from what i saw googling it. seems like a good price, if not low. the engine and outdrive are going to need to be serviced before use. bellows and impeller checked. outdrive alignment. etc. get a Mercruiser Mech to check it out. on your dime. then you will feel comfortable.
