93 Shabah 212 upholstery!
I have a 1993 Mariah Shabah 212, and the previous owner had redone the upholstery on the engine hatch. I would like to have it redone back to the original design. However, I havn't been able to find another 93 Shabah 212 that still has the original design. If anyone has any photos of the original upholstery, please send them to me. Also, any information available would be appretiated. I will post some pics of my boat soon!:shakehead:

I have a 1995 Shabah 212. Has the 5.0 but I don't think a motor change's the upolstery. Mine is white and teal or in the language of Mariah "Bimini". Let me know if you need any specific ones, cause the boats home (how sad to say:().

Thanks for your reply and pics, but my 93 212 is not like any of the 94 and up designs. The original cousion is still under the new upholstery and if you run your hand over it, you can feel it had more of a stripe pattern. I would like to put it back to the original look! I am starting to realize that this year shabah 212 had a low production number. If anyone knows how many shabah 212s where produced in 1993, I would like to know!

Hi heineken24-7 and welcome to the club, I'll take a stab at this one as well... By chance, does the pattern under the new upholstery feel similar to this design (apologies for the poor and small pic)? http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h2...iah/Sunpad.jpg WetWilly |
Thanks for the reply. No, the stripes are verticle and angle out to the sides. This weekend I will put some pin stripe tape over them and take some pics to give you a better idea of what they looked like!

The attached photo is from the 93 brochure...
And the photo WetWilly posted from above is from the 1991 brochure. I believe they only did 2 designs on the rear sundeck, and they're both pictured here. I'd like to see what your original one looked like, so if you get the chance to put some pinstripe tape on it and take a photo, that'd be great! :) |
There had to have been a third design, because my seats are original and they are all white except for three small red stripes across the middle part of the two front seats, unlike the one pictured in the brochure!

I downloaded the 93 brochure and my front seats are the same as the one pictured on page 6 except the backs are square. My bench seat is a one pice not sectioned into three seats. The colors of my boat are red, white, and grey similar to the one pictured on page 28 except my dash and glove box are grey. The first picture is of the new upholstery. The second is how the original design is in the cousion and it may have had another stripe as shown in the third pic. I really hope someone has seen this design before. It may have been a prototype!

Hi heineken24-7,
Well from everything I can find, or can't find, I'm beginning to think your sundeck has been re-upholstered at least two times in the past. I'm sorry, but I have not been able to find a single Mariah with anything even closely resembling the pattern you've outlined. The picture ShabahZ250 had was what yours was supposed to look like per the brochure. I'm going to PM one of our members, MariahPD to take a look at what you have as he worked at Mariah since 1989 and he was the Customer Service / Warranty Manager for Mariah Boat's Inc. from 1992 - 1998. If anyone would know, he would be our man. WetWilly P.S. PM also sent to mmiller19, as he worked in upholstery from 91 to 95! |
It apears that my whole interior is original except the driver's botom seat cover and the hatch cover. I have had this boat for a year now and I know I will be doing some interior work in the near future. Also, if you can find any information about the production number I would appretiate it. I really like this boat and I wish I had found this web site earlier.
