Just a little curious about my 2000 Mariah Shabah 182 4.3L Alpha One and was odoing a little Googling when I came across this site. I am definitely impressed with the site and the amount of owners involved. I purchased my boat 2 summers ago, spent the first summer getting it running right. The following summer I never had an issue with it (what a pleasure). My family and I had a lot of fun on it. Unfortunately, we sold our house which was on a small lake in NH at the end of last season, so now our boat sits on its trailer in the garage with no way to move it. So now we need to decide wat to do with it. After reading through this site, I got a little pumped up to go out and buy a truck. It is obvious how much Mariah owners love their boats. Makes me feel part of something special. The other unfortunate option is to sell it. Not sure what to do and our season in MA is just starting. Aaaggghhhh! In any case, the next week is a little busy, but by next week I will try to get some pics posted and get into my files to see if there is anything of interest to the community here. I know I have the original 3 ring binder that came with the boat that includes the owners manual along with product literature for the boat's components and then some. I hope to hear from other 182 owners.

Welcome to the forum Jimmy, the more time you spend here the more you get to appreciate the awesomeness (is that a real word?) of your Mariah.
MikeyT has a 182 so will no doubt reply here, he's full of it (information & knowledge I mean) so will be very helpful to you.
And dont even consider selling that thing, even if you have to hire a truck for the weekend to tow her to the lake, its way better than selling.

I just picked up a 99 Mariah Shabah 182 and love it. She's a gem. Maybe you could find a beater truck to haul your boat. Nothing better than pushing that throttle forward!!!!!!

Thats right, my bad, you WISH you had a 182...that 2 inches would make all the difference, or was I thinking of that Bayliner you've got perhaps thats the 182.

[mikeyt]
