Re: Hello from Tn.

Ahoy twospeed46,

Glad to have you aboard and when you have a some time, tell us more about your 2002 250 Cuddy Cabin. If you have some pictures of your 250, upload them to our gallery.
For a tutorial on uploading to our gallery, Click here.

I see you have your pin on the Map, but looks like these storm blew you a bit off course and landed you right in the middle of the Algerian desert. Not to worry, our crack recovery team was able to scoop up your Mariah and set her safely down in Lake Barkley.

Lastly, did you know we have a growing library of manuals, brochures, wiring diagrams, and all sorts of information relevant to your Mariah, the stern drives and equipment. All of these are available to our contributing members. Click here to see what each level has to offer.

If you need any help getting around the Forum, just shout,

Re: Hello from Tn.

Welcome to the board twospeed46! I'd be interested to see your 2002 250, if you have any pics, please post! The 2002 boats are very rare, as the original Mariah Boats Inc. closed their factory on May 23, 2001. The remaining boat inventory, both finished and unfinished were auctioned off November 9-10, 2001. Sea Fox boats purchased the boat molds up to 25', and the larger molds were purchased by Challenger Powerboats (who went out of business in mid-2008).

SO, it's a big mystery here around the board, we've been trying to investigate whether the 2002 boats were actually finished by Mariah, or Sea Fox Mariah. If you look at the back of your boat, there will be a tag on the starboard (right) side. This is your hull ID. If it starts with "MAB" This is an original Mariah Boats Inc. boat. If it starts with "VMH" it is a Sea Fox Mariah boat. There's a post HERE
that describes how to decode your hull ID. If you wouldn't mind, post your date of manufacture, this could help us figure out the 2002 mystery!

Anyway, welcome to the board, and if you have any specific questions about your 250, let me know, I have a 2000 Z250! :wink_thumbup:

I just verified the VIN # it does start with MAB,if you need the the whole # let me know:)

Re: Hello from Tn.

Just for reference, I spoke with twospeed46 and we have verified his boat was manufactured in April of 2001, with a serial number in the 21k's, and it was released as an 02 model. He most likely has one of the final 100 boats produced by Mariah Boats Inc!
