I am a new member and just wanted to say high. I purchased a 2001 mariah z212shabah earlier this year and absolutely love the boat no mechanical problems.but the wood grain dash is cracked and i would like to fix or replace and the sticker on the back of the drivers seat is missing any sugestions. anyway this is a great site and i am glad to have became a member thanks. ( GREAT JOB WITH THE SITE )

Welcome aboard DW. 'tis a nice boat ya got there so we're looking forward to seeing you post a few pics of it in our gallery. As for the dash, replacing it with a new one is impossible. Yours is an original Mariah (pre 2002) and parts are as scarce as intelligence at a redneck convention. The same thing goes for the Mariah shield on the back of the seat. You can get a new Mariah shield from Seafox (new owner) but it is trimmed in silver rather than gold like the original. Have a look at the pics of Indykoch's '99 Z212 He should be able to give you direct advice on your boat. Other than that, if you have any questions, problems or want to offer some knowledge, post away!

Welcome to the board dwmax! You'll find a lot of helpful info on here, even more in the contributors section, and if you have any questions you can't find the answers to, just ask, we're all here to help.

As for your dash, mine's cracked too, has been since I bought it. And it's started to bug me a lot this year, I'm planning on redoing mine this winter. From what I can tell, without tearing it apart, it's a vacuum formed plastic mold that Mariah made in-house. I've contacted one of the companies they previously used for their dashes, and they believe in 1997 Mariah began to make their own dashes. My winterization appt is next week, once that's done, i'm going to begin disassembly of the dash and start my research. I'll keep you updated!

I sent an email to the seller (Muskokanut0) on E-bay asking about those Mariah shields. The seller now indicates they are edged in silver rather than gold but she still claimed to believe they were from the original boats. As far as i know all of the original boat shields were trimmed in gold. The seller did say she might have some other 'original' Mariah stuff and she would let me know....
