Default Z272 questions
So I am new to boating and Mariah. I recently bought a z272. What is the difference between the Shabah and barchetta? I got a great deal on the boat but it also is going to need some TLC.

    Welcome aboard! Not a lot of difference really. The Barchetta may have had a little more 'sporty' look about it but the Shabah was the mainstay of the Mariah line from about 1994 - 2001. The Barchetta was made only in a few of those years.

    Thanks for the info. Being new to the whole thing I was confused not to mention I purchased the boat from someone who was unloading it from a divorce ( she got the boat and he was the boater). I got a great deal but it is going to take a ton of elbow grease. I am very excited to have this site to help me with replacement parts. Already need a door latch and possibly a Bimini top and some new vinyl work. image.jpg

    Congrats! That's a sharp looking boat! The Z272 is a sweet boat, a few ex-employees said it was one of the strongest and toughest boats Mariah ever built.

    If you've got any questions feel free to ask, we're all here to help!

    I have the same Boat. 1998 I see Iowa sticker? I am in Des Moines if you have any questions. I too had upholstery work done thanks to a dirty raccoon if you need ideas?

    Well I am in the quad cities. Good eye on the sticker by the way. I just ordered a few yards of fabric I am going to try my hand at recovering the corner pieces on the back bench. I am also I. The process of converting the courtesy lights to green LEDs as the interior is accented in green. Hopefully I get it done by the time the winter-spring we have been dealing with ends and I can get this big girl running out on the mighty Mississippi.
