Default Searching for restored Jacksonville Mariah owner

Greetings Mariah Owners.
I just photographed a beautifully restored Mariah last weekend @ Jacksonville Poker Run(Florida). Briefly met the owner, but didn't get contact info. I would love to do a formal photo shoot on this jewel of a vessel.

Attached is a link to some of the photos. If anyone knows him, please contact me.

    We can't see the pics without signing up for the board...

    If it's a red 30 foot mid cabin cruiser, that looks like the photo below, then that's our member "BoatCrazy".


    If you want to read all about his unfortunate sinking and restoration progress, you can read all about it here!
    At it again!

    I didn't notice the speaker tower, but the shots from your link tells me that it is definitely the boat. Watching it sink must have been heart breaking. The water in the St.John's is pretty nasty. Hope it's now kept in dry dock. I will try to connect with Boat Crazy.

    PS - The sign up for PowerboatNation.com is free. It's a free style powerboat & events blog and gallery site. Should check it out.

    Thanks for the info.
