That is one pristine looking Mariah. Take care of her! :)
As for tinting the glass, I think it is going to look great with those colors. It'll really give an updated look to the boat. On the other hand, we boat after sunset a lot so I'm afraid I'd regret it if I did it to my own.

Congrats on the new ride.

Nice!!!
I'm drooling so bad the wife called 911!!
What power package do you have? That is one nice boat!
Now you gotta get a new paint job on the Blazer. :)

Congrats!

Wow!!! Very nice. Previous owner should be congratulated for the care he showed that boat! Great job on the find!

Please post pictures when you finish the tint. I want to do the same on my black and white 2000 shabah 222.

Do you plan to do any other modifications to it down the road?

Congrat's! It's looks like showroom new!

Thanks Larry , It has a 5.0 Merc w/ Alpha drive ,. It really comes up on plane faster than I thought it would , I had a Chaparral ss 1830 with a 4.3 and it was slower out of the hole.

That is one very nice looking boat!

Thanks , I do boat tops and upholstery , so I am doing the front windshield and side curtains off of the high bimmini , LED lights and carpet with the Mariah emblem on it , also covering all the docking fenders in red canvas , thats all I can think of right now , anyone have any suggestions , I do have lots of spare time.

That looks showroom ready! I'm jealous. I love that color scheme. It looks like it has the original Mariah logo key too. Wish they were all that well taken care of.

I have my windows tinted and Love it

Re: Picked up mint 1998 Mariah Z202 today.
 

Ill chime in with another "wow, nice boat", I think you'll have a summer full of those comments.

Welcome aboard.

Thanks Zack , i feel extremely lucky to find this boat in this good condition and I know I will do what it takes to keep it like that , I use to show cars on the show circuit so I know how much work is involved in keeping something older looking like new , I think there is 1 other Mariah on our lake and now I will pay more attention to it , I guess it is like any vehicle you own , you just start seeing the others more.

Nice boat! I bought my Z-272 Shabah 5 years ago with the windows tinted and it looks sweet! One down side though is if you run at night a lot, which I do, be prepared to eat a few bugs and get some clear glasses to wear because you have to keep your head over the windshield to be able to see where you are going. All in all the look is worth the trade-off.

Great looking boat Scott , the tint looks so good it looks factoy , If i did not buy the Mariah I was going to get the Caravelle Interceptor which some boats had a low windshield tinted with black frame also , as for driving at night , we head for the dock for some pops so that part is not an issue , Great boating.

I saw that boat on Kijiji, you must have jumped on it as the posting was not up for long.
It is has very similar colour and graphics as our180 Z
What lake(s) are you going to be boating on?

Hi Skiater , actually the ad dissapeared the day before I bought it , I can't figure that one out.I am just glad I was the first to see it , or it would have been gone.
