I host my pics elsewhere (i.e. photobucket, villagephotos, imageshack, etc.), then post the url link to the pic in the body of my reply.

If you were to goto any of my pics posted, hover your cursor over the pic and right click, scroll down to image info and click, you will see the location of that photo on my hosting site and the exact string (url link) that was needed to make the pic available here to view.

I have had 3 hard drives crash on me in the last 5 years. I have over 1 tB of pics (15,000 + pics/videos) from the last 18 years.

The first HDD cost me $3000 to recover. Never again have I kept my only copies on my home puter or even a USB stand alone (they dont last either).

Funny thing...............one day I was yaking a puter geek at my buddy's office about me storing data offsite like I do, when he said "what happens when there is no internet", I replied "when that day comes, Id be more worried about that really bright flash of light in the sky and the sudden need to be underground 300' to avoid an immediate sunburn". He stood there with his mouth open.

If you just want to add a few to your post, just go advanced, then use the paperclip attachment option and upload there for the thumbnail version.

Re: Loading pics
 

Pictures have to be small, 640x480 max.

1. Click Go Advanced, down at the bottom of the thread
2. On the new page, above the text box, there'll be a paper clip - Click that
3. Select Choose File, from the dialog box that opens
The rest is pretty straight forward but just speak up if you have any questions.

VERY NICE!

I like how your first stop was at the liquor store to load her up.

She looks to be a beauty, is it a limited? Does it have the tan interior?

Re: Loading pics
 

Congrats Dark! She is a beauty. Now get those brakes fixed!!!

Re: Loading pics
 

Thanks yeah the brake appt is booked though I found they worked at times thought the truck you were right has way more then enough brakes. Her interior is tan and white not sure if that means limited or not, got all original paper work with her but can't find anything that says she is.

I am still new at Mariah's but I think the Z series was a limited series. I don't think there was a limited Z, only Z. Maybe one of the more seasoned Mariah guys can answer that. Glad to hear that you didn't have any issues with your brakes. I would still get them up and running though. Your truck will work but it will burn them up sooner than normal.

Yeah she goes in next week for the brakes and brearings I told the guy I want them replaced so they are all the same as two have been replaced the others look original still as for the brakes never had anything to do with surge brakes before so I will let a pro handle them this time but thinking of getting a new trailer built with electric discs. Got a quote from loadmaster for 5200 add shipping with electric discs only a double axle trailer they said it is rated for almost 11000lbs so should be ok. Just debating on if I should go goose neck or regular.

Surge brakes are pretty simple. Just a master cylinder with a piston. But I did have electric brakes on our old 28' cruiser that we had, and they worked great. Sometimes though the electric brakes will lock when you try to go in reverse. I still would prefer electric though. My big Wellcraft cruiser was a tandem axle and it handled well, but I tell you, after having a triple axle now on our Mariah, I would go triple. Especially if you do a decent amount of road time with your boat. The triples handle much better than the dual on the road. No sway at all on the highway. I have semis blow by me on the freeway and I never even notice it. And also, I can turn pretty sharp with it as well.
11,000 lb capacity doesn't seem right to me. From my experience axles either come in 3,500 lb or 5,500 lb capacity. So with a dual axle trailer and 5,500 lb axles, you theoretically have 11,000 lbs. But then you have to minus out the weight of the axles and trailer. And then that will give you the MAX weight. I would suggest staying below 80% of your max weight load. My preference is triple because of no sway on the road and if I ever blow a tire, I will have less chance of losing control!

Yep, that's a Z278 Limited Edition. The limited edition has solid hull colors, buckskin interior, and special decal package. Congrats, she's a beauty! :wink_thumbup:

Good point I had only singles on my last 20' speeder and I had done so much to reduce wieght on the boat it wasn't funny shaved offer like 500+ lbs in the engine. I wonder how much it would be to switch this trailer to electrics and blast it and then I can repaint it too.

Re: Loading pics
 

Thanks Shabah I feel even better now. :) He shoots he scores!

Re: Loading pics
 

So now I am wondering if I have the limited. I do have the buckskin colored vinyl in the cabin but what is the special decal package? I guess I could just go crawl up in the boat and look at the paperwork, but I am not at home and will be lazy later! :)

Re: Loading pics
 

Nice! The only way I would replace that trailer would be if I boated in salt. These trailers are very well made. Give it a little TLC if needed and spend your money on other things.

Re: Loading pics
 

the whole interior is not buckskin just the accent sections and wave stripes on the sundeck, oh and the cabin berth cushions with a lighter carpet will get some more pics this weekend as well as power polish on her check all fasteners, paint the fence, change the engine oil on her and the stang etc etc. Longweek end yeah sure more work at home then I do at work lol
