» What is a Mariah Boat? |
|
The “Original” Mariah Boats were made from 1989-2001. Carrying the “Equipped Like No Other Boat in the World” slogan on each boat, they truly are luxury boats, in every aspect. Mariah sold bowriders, cuddy cabins, deckboats, and designed the first cuddy/bowrider combination boat.

» Who started Mariah Boats? |
|
Mariah Boats Inc. was started by Jimmy J. Fulks in his garage in 1989. In 1990, he had built a factory in Benton Illinois, and had 70 employees. By the mid 90’s, Mariah Boats had 500 employees, was capable of producing 5,000 boats annually, had 200 dealers nationwide, and had become one of the largest independent boat builders in the country.

» Is Mariah still in business? |
|
Yes, and No. The “Original” Mariah Boats Inc. was closed on May 23, 2001. While the true reason for the plant closing still remains a mystery, there were union issues as well as financial problems that could have played a part in this. In 2002, Sea Fox Boats Inc. purchased the Mariah name, trademarks, and remainder of the fiberglass molds for boats up to 25ft. They have redesigned the boats, and have re-released Mariah Boats as an affordable entry-level boat.

» What about Service & Parts? |
|
Fortunately, any MerCruiser or Volvo Penta Service Facility is capable of repairing any sort of engine/outdrive problems. Many of the parts for Mariah Boats were made in-house at the plant in Benton, so replacing them becomes a challenge. However, parts have been known to occasionally pop up on the internet, and a listing of those parts & information is located Here in our Original Mariahs section of the Forum. Sea Fox Mariah does not carry any of the original Mariah parts.

All,
In the last few weeks we've experienced two major outages with the site. I wanted to take a moment to assure you that we are committed to this site and strive for 100% uptime. When we can't achieve that, we certainly want to be honest with everyone for the reasons why. In both outages, no information was lost or compromised.
On November 26th, we upgraded the site database (known as 'MySQL') to the latest, stable release of the database software. This was a... [Read More]

Those of you that utilize the Member Map (Community>Member Map or The Mariah Owners Club - Member Map) may have noticed that the layout has changed and pins are not showing up. Google has updated their maps API to a new version and shut down the old API. This means the 'pipe' to send and receive data from Google is broken. We're working to upgrade the code to function with the new API, but we're not having... [Read More]
