Thinking about buying this.

Thinking fairly seriously about purchasing this,

http://windsor.kijiji.ca/c-cars-veh...W-RIDER-MARADA-2100-SERIES-W0QQAdIdZ349985211

21ft Marada.
I don't see a Marada section in the alphabetical boat manufacturers here so maybe that is not a good sign. Also after searching here found that they went out of business as well. I was really trying to find out what kind of reputation they had and whether they were likened to an 80's Bayliner !!!!
Any and all input will be very welcome. In the meantime I will continue to try and search for more information.

Manufacturer is pointless when you are buying a used boat... This isn't a car. You are buying the maintenance of it, nothing more, nothing less. 100% completely ignore the name on the side.

I'd rather buy a 20 year old bayliner that has impeccable maintenance than a 3 year old searay that hasn't had the oil changed and has sat uncovered in an open slip the entire time.

Re: Thinking about buying this.

There are many manufacturers that are not listed. Hustler and Switzer are 2 that were produced here in the midwest for many years. Lots of them still around too.
