Has the exterior decal changed? black top, red left side and gold right side. I have the 2000 Z252 with the 7.4 GSI. Great Site!!!!

Welcome to the board!

Which exterior decal are you referring to? The shield?

Replacement Logo
 

Yes, the sheild. My boat has 2 on the rear exterior and 1 on the back of each seat.

The original shield design hasn't changed. Mariah used these shields from the early 90's until 2001 when Mariah closed their doors. In 2002 when Sea Fox bought Mariah, they made a few changes to the boats, most notably the interiors. They also changed the color of their branding from Gold to Silver. This changed the color of the script logo on the side of the boat, and the color of the shields. I've attached a jpg from one of our members, WetWilly. He replaced his side shields with the new version.

The logo we used on the banner graphics for the site is the old Mariah's "Paper" logo, with a white background around the globe, and I only used that one because it showed up a little better. :)
