Default 1998 204 Jubilee

My daughter is looking at buying on of these but I can not seem to find anything on your site regarding any of the 20 ft Jubilee's of any year. Does anyone have any knowledge of this model boat to share with us? We appreciate your time. We have owned several boats over the years so we are just trying to find out how this boat stacks up for durability and the little details that are pertinent to this model such as pros and cons.
Thanks again.

    I have never seen a 20ft Jubilee, We own an older 24ft Jubilee and I have seen several 21ft Jubilee's on the site. The bigest difference between the older 24ft and newer 21ft models is the newer models have a full windshield This is a great, open platform for family boating/cruising and even works great for watersports. Good luck finding one, they are few and far between.

    I dont know a lot about the Jubilee models but i do know they made a 204, a 214 and a 244 as well as "Z" versions of each from 1998 - 2000. There was very little difference in size (2") between the 204 and 214 but the 214 had a larger gas tank as well as a little more capacity for people. The 204 came with either a 4.3L V6 or a 5.7L V8 engine. The magazine testers at the time gave them high marks for performance and amenities and most of our members who have Jubilee's speak highly of them.

    Default Jubilee

    I have the 99' Mariah 214 Jubilee 21ft. and from looking at pictures of the 204 Jubilee almost the same boat. The only thing I have found wrong with design of my boat is the windshield. Just a round piece of plexiglass thats held down with screws to dash on drivers side. Brakings off easily. Some had full aluminum frame windshield opional. This is my first Mariah boat. Only had it for 2 months. I have had 3 Bayliners before. The Mariah is a Great Boat.

    Just bought a 2000 Jubilee 204 20' 5.0. We have only had it out twice. Still learning about it trial and error style. Does anyone have a manual?

    Hi bigdoggone and welcome to the club!

    We have the brochures and there available to our contributing members, click here to see what each lever offers.

    Now for the 204 Jubilee - well our '98 Mariah Brochure states that the '98 204 came in a standard and a "Z" model that comes with options like a woodgrain dash and a power driver's seat. The 204 is 20' long and 102" wide. She weighs in at 3250lbs with the 4.3L V6 and a little more for the 5.7L V8. The tank holds 55 gallons of gas and she's rated for 12 passengers max. The Jubilee has an all fiberglass floor so cleanusps are a breeze and it may even come with optional carpet.

    So there you have it, if your daughter's 204 checks out to be in good condition, and the price is right, she can't go wrong.

    WetWilly
