[Hopatcong Z202]

Just purchased a 1998 Mariah 25' bow rider in incredible condition only 250 Hours on it. Not sure what model it is. I've been trying to research it but can't seem to narrow it down.
Any way to run the hull number?

Thanks,

The only person who has a list of Hull ID's is one of the Admins (ShabahZ280) BUT he hasn't been onsite since May of last year and isn't responding to Private or Visitor Messages.

Since you indicate it is 25' OAL, I will suggest that it is a Shabah 252 model. Not sure what options you have without seeing a photo or a better description but it could be a base version, a "Z" version or an "LE" version. My guess is that it will be a "Z" version.

I read somewhere the dock lights make it a Z but I may be mistaken. What options should I be looking for to differentiate between them?

The 'LE's' had a solid colour hull (red) and a buckskin coloured interior. The "Z's" had docking lights, power seats, power hatch etc. Per the '98 brochure, it doesn't look like they offered a base version that year.

Ok it's a Z. I guess Z252 if I go by what you guys are telling me. Thank you so much for your help and I will be looking forward to reading everyone's posts and sharing my experiences.

I guess I have to change my user name.

As long as you have the correct model year (last two digits of the Hull ID#) and you know how to use a tape measure and are sure it is 25 ft long then it can only be a 252.
