Default Another Mariah Boat For Us

Hello all,

I have just sold my Mariah 216Pc Cuddy cabin which made me and my wife Pam a little sad, But I have picked a 2002 Mariah 245 STC center cabin to cure my 2 footiitis. I believe that there were not to many of the 245 STC models made.

Just curious as to how many were actually made.

I have not had the newer Mariah out yet, but I will this weekend.

I will confess that I am a little intimidated by the size of this boat, but I am sure time will cure that.

I will upload pictures in the next couple of weeks.

Bruce

    Congrats on the upgrade! The Z245 STC is a really nice, and rare boat. When you get it, be sure to post some photos, and info! We've been trying to find out the mystery of the '02's. I've only seen two!

    Don't be intimidated, it's very easy maneuvering a boat of that size and you'll get used to it very quickly!

    Hi Bruce,
    If you don’t already, you will learn to love the unique layout of a mid-cabin bow rider. It is great for kids to get out of the sun. If you compare the few different makes out there, the Mariah is by far the plushest most comfortable looking. I had considered a Mach 1 and Concept (both very plain and utility looking inside), but am very glad I waited for a Mariah to come up for sale!
    Post some pics I am looking forward to getting a good look at your 254 STC.

    Hi,

    Sorry about just getting back to you, been busy.

    The boat did have few mechanical issues, that I have finally gotten straightened out.

    I will post somes pictures soon of it.

    We took it up to Lake Michigan for the air show in Chicago, and the boat handled the lake very nicely. Lot better than my 216 Talari had ever done on that lake.

    We even spent the night on it , We really do like it.

    Good Boating!
