Wow! I would definitely like to hear your story if your willing to share it. Seeing as I have the "Z" eched on my windows too!

Question, do you have a fiberglass liner on the under side of the engine hatch with "Mariah " molded in it?

I sold my 1995 210 Talari in spring 2006 with trailer for $13,000. I had three people wanting it! Although not the Z it had docking lights and a molded fiberglass cockpit. 5.7L 230HP at 3,000lb dry wt I could pull three skiers.
Price is all in how well it was kept. When I sold mine after eight years she still shined like new. I washed it after every trip to the lake and stored her inside all year and it paid off at resale time. If the one you are looking at looks taken care of it may be worth a little extra

I bought the boat 2 years ago from a local dealer. I didn't know that much about them at the time other than the fact that they were excellent boats and much sought after. It was a 1 owner, 230 hours, immaculately kept, with matching trailer. The only real thing wrong with it was the cover canvas was pooched, so I had the dealer throw new custom ones into the deal. Having seen the Z 202 logo on the glass, I had assumed it was a Z model. I didn't fully appreciate all the extras that were part of the Z model until I came across this site. Basically I'm missing all the gee-whiz electrical stuff that comes on a true Z, which is actually fine by me. Docking lights are probably the only thing on the list that I'd like to have.

I've been around boats all my life and even the non-Z models are equipped like no other. These boats are solid.

No fiberglass liner on the underside of the hatch. I haven't included mine in the Gallery yet. Basically a 20' Shabah identical in colour scheme to Z275st's Talari (other thread). Or look at rjobes z202 in the gallery. Mine is done in teal and white, of course without all the extra electrical stuff.
