Hi CAboater,

Welcome aboard the Mariah Owners Club, it's great to have another member from California, I was starting to think I was the only one out here with a Mariah... and now we have three.

I think you've already found out that we're one big family with boat loads of helpful and friendly information to keep your Mariah in top notch condition. We also have brochures, manuals and other references for contributing members, if you're interested, look in the Donate section. Click here

When you have pictures of your MX 19, you're welcome to post them on the picture gallery! For a tutorial Click here

Lastly, when you have some time, go ahead and stick your pin on our map! Need assistance? Click here

Hi CAboater,

If you need supplies for your Mariah like the Meguiars, I recommend visiting a West Marine Store. They're located throughout CA and the web.

They carry just about everything you'll need to keep your MX19 looking and running in top condition and make sure you let them know you just bought a boat, they have a discount program for new owners and while you're there, pickup the new 08 catalog it's free.

To find one close to you, use their store locator, just add your zip code: Here

Good luck,
WetWilly

Welcome "officially" to the club! It's been said already, but the Meguiars Fiberglass Restoration kit will definitely make that boat look new again. For regular cleaning maintenance, I use the strictly Meguiars Flagship products. There's a kit most Marine supply stores have called the "Meguiars New Boat Owners Kit". It includes Flagship wash, wax, and a spray on quick cleaner. I think I paid around $30 for it, the fiberglass restoration kit is around the same price, and they're both well worth the investment. For interior surfaces, resist the temptation to use Armor-All, use a marine grade protectant. A lot of people use this product called "303", a little pricy, but supposedly one of the best. I use Meguiars flagship interior, great stuff. Man, as many times as I talk great about their stuff, I should be collecting a paycheck from them!!

Also if you've got some stubborn spots on the exterior or interior, check out this thread on the Mr. Clean Magic Erasers.

Anyway, congratulations!! your boat will provide many years of enjoyment. And you picked the right brand...
