Just bought a 96 Mariah 209
 

Hello all,

I just purchased a Mariah 209 and it's a sweet boat! The original owner took good care of the engine; however, the boat does need some cosmetic work, seat are in mint condition! I'm looking for some help and trying to find an owners manual. I've searched the forums and google with no luck. Could anyone direct me where I could find one?

Also, does anyone recommend a site for purchasing OEM parts or aftermarket replacements, trim and shuch?

Thank you much,
Luis

Welcome aboard Luis. First thing i would suggest you do is read the welcome letter sent to you by Admin since we get this question with just about every new member. It should tell you about the situation with manuals. If it doesn't then i would suggest you read this sticky.

Your 2nd question has been answered here a number of times also. OEM interior parts are nearly impossible to come by. I would suggest you have a look thru our Marketplace, ebay/craigslist/kijiji. Engine, outdrive & electrical parts are still widely available. You can also have a look thru our Mariah Parts Vendors List.

Thank you Mikey, took the boat out today for the first time and Wow! Absolutely love it! It ran beautifully with not a single problem. This boat is wicked fast and handles real nice. I cleaned it up and it looks good but I need to replace some of the cosmetic stuff (decals, lights, radio). I'm a big believer of taking care of my things so I've got work to do in getting to a point I'm happy with it completely.

I'll read the info you suggested, thanks.
Luis
