Okay, my boat has the cover for the cockpit area, butit does have some age on it and some of the snaps have broken off. I have tried looking for a full cover for when I have it stored, but everything seems to fit the 2000 and 2001 z258, but it says not for the 99. Can someone tell me what the difference is between a 99 and 00? Would like at least a semi custom coverror so that I could trailer it with the cover of I need to. Was looking at the westland brands. Thanks already.

My 99 z258 came with the whole cover but I would like to find the one you have because I notice when I have her covered completely like this it stays damp and humid inside. Sometimes I pull back the cover on a corner to let it breath...... This cover is the best for long term storage I guess........ Did your boat come with the pieces to close in the Bimini top .......windshield and side panels.... I would like to know where to buy those.

Also..... I saw a 2000 258 sell on ebay recently and it looked identical....only noticed interior differences. The hull, glass and transom area looked identical...but that's seeing it online not in person

Mine does cover the windshield and it has air vents in the top to let fresh air in and to create a down draft effect to keep it from flappi by much like my jet ski covers. The ones I have been researching have an optional vent to allow fresh air in and to keep the dampness and sweat out.

There is a vendor listed in our Original Parts & Vendors list that says they can supply covers for original Mariahs that might be worth checking out.

Put a bucket of charcoal briquettes in there to absorb moisture!

Thanks guys. Anyone have experience with the westland semi-custom? Or anything like them?

I'm trying to confirm. Are the z258's the same from 1999 through 2001. I don't know why, but west land list a cover for a 2000, but not for a 1999.
Thanks.
