I am excited to have a 1996 Shabah 210. I knew I had seen them on the water and have always wanted one. I started searching for a Baja, Crown, or Mariah. The Shabah I found has a new 5.7 Mag and the boat has 180 hours on it well cared for. I will post pics after detailing.
A little background I have owned a 1991 18.5 Procraft fish and ski 150hp Merc that was very fast and semi rough in the chop-my wife hated it too violent and close to the water something about fear of the kids flying out.
Recently we have had a 1998 Beachcomber pontoon which I thought I wanted because of the vast room on board But I HATED it. Feeling nuetered (SLOW WEAK) - high above the water and on and on.
I love a big sexy V-hull period no other will do. Now I must tint the windows, change the aluminium prop, install thru hull exhaust, install stereo and use it every chance I have.
Thanks for the great site.

    Welcome! I am sure you will love your boat as much as the rest of us do. There are some posts on adding the through hull exhaust if you do a forum search. There is also a lot of useful info on stereo installs, Mariah prewired the entire boat for sound so the install should be a snap.

    Welcome aboard Tallram ! Sounds like you found the boat you were hoping for and once you have the changes done you are planning, it will be one sweet ride

    As bpfirrman says, there are lots of threads here on the changes you are planning so take your time, read them thru and then tackle the work and if you have any questions, that's what we're here for!
