I have the exact same boat, and love it. The color is different but that's about it. The only complaint I have with mine is, I cant find curved replacement switches. I am missing a couple and the rest are faded and hard to read.

My family and I love the boat though!

    I was able to find a replacement switch for my Talari in a NAPA catalog. I know it's different than yours but it's worth a shot.

    Yeah, the straight ones are easy to find. No luck finding the curved ones though. Thanks for trying though.

    I think these are the ones you're looking for...

    I'm going to check the boat out this weekend on the water. It's got the original book with it so if I purchase, I'll be scanning it to contribute to the site. Is there anything engine wise I need to look for to make sure it's sound? It's been owned by 2 others. The guy selling it to me is contracted out by the seller and the marina it's at used to be a Mariah dealer. Any other questions I need to ask. Thanks again for all the help.

    Hey guys, I finally brought her home yesterday. Took me a little while to back it in the driveway at the house but I couldn't be more excited. I'm going to try to do my first launch tomorrow. The ramp is less than a mile away which is great for practice. I've read all the horror stories about other launches and we'll see if I have another one to add to. I'm trying to figure out all the switches from the manual to get comfortable beforehand. She's got a keypad entry and I've got the code but haven't tried it yet since we haven't been in the water. I haven't found any directions on how it works. Any insight?

    Glad to hear you got her home safely. We do have the individual manuals available here to contributing members if needed. Unfortunately i dont have the Z model so i'm not familiar with the keypad & control centres. Hopefully someone else here will chime in.
