    Basically, fully loaded. Windshield wiper, power anchor light, buckskin interior, etc.

    Yes, the tan interior is an indicator that the boat is a LIMITED EDITION, the other criteria is a solid color hull(white, red, yellow, black, or ?)

    The Z model is not necessarily a limited but could be one as well, but the Z series has a wide variety of options like stated earlier, wiper, defrost blower, power seat, power hatch, docking lights, fuse panel, to name just a few.

    Either way, Mariah is an overall exceptional vessel.

    Thanks to all of you - the boat I'm looking at does not have the tan interior and the hull is red and white - so apparently not a LTD Edition. the interior is mostly white with grey accents...
    the glove box door is cracked right down the middle - is it possible to get one of those? The storage compartment lid on the right side is likewise cracked - -

    any help would be apprecioated,

    Monte

    Finding replacements for the storage compartment lids is pretty tough, as these were made in-house at Mariah. Mine have a crack or two as well, they are made from very thin ABS molded plastic and can develop cracks with age. They can be repaired by a plastic specialist and then re-coated with the faux wood finish, but it's somewhat expensive.
