Hi all - This is my first post. I am looking for a 2000 Shabah 202. I would like to have a 350/260 (5.7) but might consider a 5.0. Sold my 2000 Shabah with 240 hrs 2 years ago thinking I would like a Pontoon boat. Bought a Harris Cruiser 220 Tri-toon with a 150 Merc EFI. Had some good times (I could slalom ski behind it) but realized I am not a pontoon boat guy. Would like to find a gem in great condition with reasonable hours (just like everyone else I suppose.) I am in the rochester NY area but will consider all locals. Thanks

If i recall correctly, one was just posted in the last 2-3 days on one of the two Mariah Owners Facebook sites.

Thanks, mikey. I will try to find it. Are the sites named differently?

Thanks mikey - I will try to find the listing. Do the Facebook sites have different names?

There are two sites, one is mariah boat owners club and the other is just mariah boat owners. Check both out.

I am in the Utica/Rome area. I found my Mariah in IL last year. Was a haul but worth it. If you find nothing on those two Facebook pages I would try searching “Mariah boat” in the regular Facebook marketplace. Also, a good secret of mine is using the website www.searchtempest.com. It searches all of Craigslist easily for you. Search for Mariah in the boats for sale category and put your radius. Then you can go though and see all the Craigslist posts with Mariah for sale. Hope this helps.

I just had a quick look in the Mariah Boat Owners Club group on FB and the ad for a 1995 2002 is still there;

Selling my 1995 Mariah z202 Shabah. Boat comes with a mercruiser 350 mag mpi mated to a bravo 1 out drive. It only has 348 hours on it. This last season I put 2 new batteries, 2 new trailer tires, a Bimini top, and had all the injectors taken out and sent out to get cleaned and pressure tested professionally. It’s a 9 passenger boat. It has a power captains seat that works and has the factory captains call which work and sounds awesome. Interior is in decent shape, the only real flaw would be the middle seat in the rear bench which has some cracks. It has a CD player, 8 speakers and a amp. The exterior has some scratches and could use a good buff and wax. It’s a 27 year old boat so it’s definitely not perfect. The boat was a 1 owner boat that traded it in to a boat dealership then I bought it. I’ve had it for the last 3 years. If you have any question message me. Asking $12k obo for it. It’s been a great boat but ready to get a bigger one. Located in Nebraska. "

Thank you Sparks and Strips and MikeyT for your replys. Don't know what I am doing wrong to not be able to find the listing but will keep trying. All useful information you both gave. Glad I joined!

Found the listing finally. The 1995 red Mariah sold this weekend. Oh well. I am really looking for a 2000 Shabah with a 5.7 if i can find one. Maybe Patience will pay off.
