I remember in 1999 or 2000 Mariah had a boat that was a cuddy/open bow hybird. It had a small cabin I think in front of the windshield that you could go thru to get to the front of the boat where there was still open bow seating. Does anyone remember what model this was? I would love to find one.

I have a 2002 Z245 Jubilee with the mid cuddy. Great layout. It has more room than my 235 Davanti cuddy had since you sleep port to starboard; about the size of a queen bed when filled in. You can still get 3 to 4 people in the bow to ride as well. There was a 275 and a 302 as well. Same layout just bigger. The only other manufacture still making something like this I found with quality was a company called Ebbtide. You can still buy them today:

I cannot speak from experience but when I was researching they seemed to say all the right things. If you can find an older Mariah late 90’s – 2001(2) I would highly recommend it as we love ours. The motor just gave out but I am going to put the money into a fresh one since we like the boat layout so much. I think there was a Z302 out of Turkey Point for sale and he may be on here as a member.

The flagship was the Z302. Then there was the Z275ST and the Z245ST.

Z302's became available in 1998, the Z275ST became available in late 2000, and the Z245ST's became available in 2001.

I have a '98 Shabah 302 that has that config and just put it up for sale. It is located on Missouri's Lake of the Ozarks. It has only 184 hours on the 454 and the drive unit was just serviced. My wife's nerves after being in a car rollover can't handle the instability when on the water. In fact, I just came on the website to list it. If you want more info e-mail me at [email protected].
