    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?

    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 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.
