Hi, my name is Nick. I just joined here because im looking into buying a 1998 Mariah 202 Shabah and was hoping to get some general information about the boat. I would also like to learn about other owners and their experiences about Mariah boats such as quality in comparison to other top name brands. Also, how can I access the private threads? Thanks!

Could you be a little more specific like does it have a v8 or a v6 do you know if it is a 4.3 L, 5.0 L , or a 5.7 L do you know if the boat you are looking at is a Mariah shabah, talari, etc. is it a Z model does it have captains call exhaust. I am sorry you have to be so specific but each boat was built to the customers standards they did not just build one specific boat which is why there motto was
( equiped like no other boat in the world ) they had options no other boat manufacturer had ever thought of .

All I know is that its a 1998 202 Shabah bowrider that has 220 horsepower and it has captain chairs, net weight is 2450 according to the owner

Hi nyyfan2,
I just purchased a 1995 Mariah Talari 190 back in August, and after all my research in various boats over several months, I found the original Mariahs to be of the highest quality and much more feature rich compared to other boats, including Crownline, Monterey, Four Winns, Chaparral, StingRay, and Sea Ray.

If you do purchase a Mariah, I know you won't be disappointed!
