Mickey Mantle#7
 

Does anyone know if Mickey Mantle owned a Mariah Z202??? I have been told that there is one in my marina in CT...

Re: Mickey Mantle#7
 

Yes, Mariah's creator Jimmy Fulks was very close friends with Mickey Mantle, back from the days of Celebrity Boats Inc. Mickey owned I believe 2 Mariah's (possibly more) , the one I remember most prominently was the 1992 Ivory, Sable & Ash 200Z, as shown in the first pic. This was used to market Mariah and the 2000Z model, this was from the 92 brochure.

He did also have a wine & white colored Z220, I'm thinking it was around a 1994 or so. This one is shown in the second pic, from Jimmy's personal archive he shared. Pictured with Mickey and Hank Aaron. Mickey's inscription reads "Jim - Thanks for everything, especially the boats and being a great friend.

They were both customized with decals saying "The Mick".

I would assume if those two boats are still in existence, they're QUITE a collector's item!! If the guy at your marina does truly own one, see if you can snap some pics for us, and maybe invite him to the board!

I really appreciate your info.!!! The name on the side of the boat is "The Mick". The hin# states that the boat is a 1995. Mantle died in August of 95'...It is green and white. Maybe with the hin# I can find out.

When you get the hull ID, send it to me in a PM, I have the factory build sheets for up to January of 1995, I may be able to find out if it was indeed manufactured for Mickey.

Wasn't Prince Charles a Mariah owner? I remember having a newsletter about it, but I can't find it.

Thanks....

Ahh, unfortunately my cutoff for the build sheets is January 24, 1995. That hull was laminated in March of 95, so I can't verify it until I get the rest of the factory build sheets. :( However, if it has "The Mick" decal package on it, I'm pretty sure that's exactly who previously owned it. If you can snap some pics of it, post 'em here!

I have a boat that is green and white with all the Mick#7 logos and a picture of Mikey, His Girlfrend and there little white dog riding the waters of Lake Oconee shortly before his death.
ADDED 9/20/2012 ---- This Boat is about 23' long with Twin BOW LIGHTS !! It also has right and left Bow Seats with a green snapon canvas cover.

I believe the wine and white is running out of Colinsville illinois. The Mick would get a new model each year for a few years in the 1990s. They would be authenticated and sold upon their return to factory.

Chris,
We just bought the cream and wine one, could you help us validate this?
