New Z272 owner
 
Hello all - This weekend, we just completed a 1300+ mile journey from Iowa to Kentucky to pick up our 1998 Z 272 Shabah. We had a few issues getting home... a wheel bearing on trailer let loose just outside of St. Louis and a blown tire on trailer 20 minutes from home that made the trip interesting... :mad: None the less, we are excited to be Mariah owners. It is too bad that we had to winterize and put away for 7 months before taking her out! It is going to be a long winter!

Congradulations on your new Mariah!!!! Sorry to hear about the troubles - we had the similar issues with ours, blown tire, electrical etc. issues that caused a very long 1 day plan to be stretched to two days! But it was all worth it in the end.

You've got us beat on the miles by a 1000!!!!

Anyhow welcome to the club! There's nothing more exciting then purchasing a Mariah and having her home! Look forward to some pictures soon!!!! :)

Hi apickens99, ditto on what daveraymyers said, welcome!

Had the very same issue with a bearing but fotunatly, the tires held up, probably since California has one of the slowest speed limits for trailering - 55mph max.

Well glad to hear you made it back safely and think of the next 7 months as a time to do maintenance and any of those "up-grades we all seem to do... :D

Congrats on your new Mariah! We are new to the Mariah fold as well, just having acquired a 1998 Z272 Shabah this past August. We've love the boat! She rides so smooth and solid through the water. Good luck and smooth sailing.
