Hello,
My husband and I just purchased a new to us 1992 Shabah...(we have no idea what model it is past a Shabah any help with that would be greatly appreciated!). This is also our first boat to own. I grew up on boats and on the lake and want to share that experience with my children. We have a 6 yr old boy and 2yr old girl. Excited about boating! We live in north central Oklahoma.

Hi and let me be the first to say Welcome http://www.cosgan.de/images/midi/froehlich/h010.gif

Pictures would go a long way to helping answering your question.
Also if you send ShabahZ280 a pm with the HIN (hull number on the transom)
he'll probably be able to tell you what info was on the build sheet :yes_grin:


P.S
Don't forget to ask MikeyT about manuals and whale tails, he's snowed in/bored and hasn't had a good rant in a few weeks now :rolling_laugh:

Welcome to MOC J&S! :)
Stick a tape on it from the center of the transom to the tip of the bow.
Then we can pretty much tell you the model anyway.:yes_grin:

Once again..........Welcome!

Welcome aboard! You can also have a look in our Gallery at the 1992 models to see which one yours matches up with.

btw....ignore Andy. He's upset cuz he's not out shoveling snow like the rest of us. :)

okay, now that i've seen the photos.......the first thing you need to do is GET RID of that awful and disgusting whale tail stuck onto the outdrive and install a pair of Smart Tabs. Those things only belong on a Bayliner...

Other than that...you've got some work to do but overall it looks decent. :wink_thumbup:

Smart tabs are on the list... gotta get a little more change in the pocket :)

Nice looking boat! :wink_thumbup:
Don't let mikey scare you too much. We all kinda gotta thing about whale----- around here , and mikey is usually the first to be all over it! :rolling_laugh:
A little elbow grease , some TLC , and a set of Smart Tabs and you'll be all grins come launch day.:yes_grin:

I will also agree, the smart tabs are awesome! Pops right up on plane, doesn't wander at slow speeds and stays on plane better. I have even noticed a small fuel savings!:wink_thumbup:
