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 produced models such as the Shabah, Jubilee, MCC, Talari, Davanti, Diablo, Barchetta, and Z-series models...more	What about Parts and Service? Fortunately, any MerCruiser or Volvo Penta Service Facility is capable of repairing any sort of engine/outdrive problems.

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...more	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...more

Challanger redesigned the entire line and came out with the Family Performance Series. They can be seen here!	What is The Mariah Owners Club? The Mariah Owners Club is a website designed for owners of Mariah Boats. It is an online community and resource center for everything relating to Mariah Boats, both the “Vintage” series from 1989-2001, and the new Sea Fox Mariah’s from 2002-present.
