Hello, I currently own a 23' Fourmula open bow. A friend of mine was telling me about a 25' Shabah z that he had tried to buy for 8 years. The boat is now for sale and i am trying to get photos of the boat from the owners. I don't know that much about Mariahs, does anyone have an opinion about this particular boat. I do know that it has a 496 ho in it and is supposed to be a low hours boat, the owner stated that it has every option. They bought the new and paid 48000.00 for it. Two things that concerns me is the availability of the actual boat parts and this boat has carpet. My boat has a snap in carpet, which i love. Does anyone know what is under the carpet of this boat? Wood / fiberglass. What kind of top end will it have. Any help would be great. Thanks, Glen

Z250 (I'm assuming its a 250 vs a 252 or 258) are popular boats here. Do a site search (top right corner of the screen) for Z250 and you will finds lots of threads discussing them.

As for parts, any 15yr old boat whether its a Formula, Four Winns or Mariah will have some parts that are difficult to find. With Mariahs its mostly interior trim pieces and windshield glass. Other than that, everything else is available somewhere.
