Hello everyone.

I'm unfamiliar with Mariahs, but am planning to look at a 99 Z260 MCC this weekend. Any advice for newbies? Are there particular areas I need to examine (unique to Mariah)? I just sold my Sea Ray and we're looking to replace with a larger "overnight-able" boat.

Any advice is appreciated.

A few questions I've come up with:
1. What size fuel tank will a Z260 have?
2. The pictures seem to show an anchor windlass in the bow. Is this correct?
3. I'm looking at pictures of similar boats (Google Images). They show an odd set of objects in the cabin ceiling, like this. Can any owners identify those for me? I recognize hatches and overhead lights, I think.
4. If you own a Z260, what is your normal cruise speed?


Anyway, thanks in advance for any advice, and hopefully I'll be posting as a real owner soon (rather than a wannabe).
