Which Type of Mariah do Ii have ?
 
5 Attachment(s)
Hello, I'm new in here in the forum, I'm from Germany. Therefore first time sorry for my bad english.
I bought a Mariah on eBay, unfortunately, except for the approval, no further data.
The boat has been running 35 hours, was for a defective 10 years forgotten in a barn in Bavaria.
What is this type, see pictures.
The year of manufacture is supposed to be 95, the hull number tells you that too.

Thanks a lot
Oliver

hi Oliver. Unfortunately that's not a "Mariah" boat. It is a Supra boat and they made a "Mariah" model.

MikeyT must have been drinking again... :rolling_laugh:
That's a Mariah. I can tell by the upholstery patterns, dashboard, and gelcoat design. It looks very much like a 94 Diablo, Barchetta, or Talari. They changed the gelcoat design in 95, and it looks a bit different from what you've got.

Oliver, can you send me the hull ID number, and I can look it up on the factory build sheets?

Looks just like my Diablo.:yes_grin:

Ouch. I haven't touched a drop all week but apparently i need to get started soon..... :shakehead:

I didn't recognize those graphics at all but now that i see '180Diablo's' 1993 Diablo 180 in the gallery, its a match. The 1994 has a different console. Europe must have been picking up some old models a year or two after they were introduced on this side of the pond??

ColoradoDiablo 07-02-2014 07:53 PM

Re: Wich Type of Mariah i have ?
 
That's ok Mikey , we understand. :yes_grin:
The graphics threw me off too , don't feel like the lone ranger.

Re: Which Type of Mariah do Ii have ?
 
In the Galarie i found a Picture from a 94 Talari, it have the same Dash but another Graphik.

Can Europe Version Different Graphiks ?

Exact same dash as my Diablo Oliver , I just did a few updates to it.

mikeyt 07-03-2014 07:37 PM

Re: Which Type of Mariah do Ii have ?
 
It looks like the 1992 - 1994 Diablo 180's were all quite similar but yes the graphics can be different. If you look in our Gallery at '180Diablo's' pics on page 3 & 4 you will see it is very similar to your own boat.

vw-bussmann 07-03-2014 07:40 PM

Re: Which Type of Mariah do Ii have ?
 
No,not the same. The switch Panel is Different.
So more pictures I look the more likely I think it is a 95er Talari with the dashboard of 94 with a Graphiks for Europan

ColoradoDiablo 07-03-2014 07:47 PM

Re: Which Type of Mariah do Ii have ?
 
I said , I changed up some stuff. Including the rocker switches , hour meter , bezel rings , etc.
Yes.......exact same dash.:shakehead:

Really?? Are you sure? I've never seen a Shabah with those side windows shaped like that and i'm not seeing a 192 Shabah in the brochures. What model year?

vw-bussmann 07-09-2014 06:18 AM

Re: Which Type of Mariah do Ii have ?
 
Original Lamination Date: Wednesday 11/23/94(8th of 12 boats that day)
Boat Model: 192 Shabah
Gelcoat: Pearl
Secondary Gelcoat: Polo
Interior Layout: Supersport
Engine: Volvo 4.3GS / DP

Had not thought that it is this type.

Once again Thank you for your Work :wink_thumbup:

Greetings Oliver

ShabahZ280 07-09-2014 05:31 PM

Re: Which Type of Mariah do Ii have ?
 
I stand corrected. Thanks MikeyT.

The build sheets just simply stated "192". I mistakingly assumed this would be a Shabah, but it is in fact, a 192 Barchetta with the '94 model dash. They changed to the rounded version for the later 95 models, from what I can tell.

ColoradoDiablo 07-09-2014 05:52 PM

Re: Which Type of Mariah do Ii have ?
 
Very Interesting.:)

vw-bussmann 07-09-2014 06:04 PM

Re: Which Type of Mariah do Ii have ?
 
Hmm a Barchetta but looks from the window and trunk from the back different. Or are there different versions?

mikeyt 07-09-2014 08:09 PM

Re: Which Type of Mariah do Ii have ?
 
I'm not convinced its a Barchetta either as the Barchetta has the same style side windows that the Shabah has. I think this one is a Talari/Diablo but its odd that it doesn't match up perfectly with anything in the brochures. The model years dont match up and with the build sheet showing this boat as a '192' its really unusual. The closest i've seen is still Diablo180's 180 Diablo from 1993 as it has the same graphics and the same dash.

I'm starting to wonder if this boat was a bit of a hybrid of parts that was put together and shipped to Europe for sale?

vw-bussmann 07-10-2014 06:33 AM

Re: Which Type of Mariah do Ii have ?
 
also think that there was no name for Europe versions. Therefore, only the 192 is rather worked with us here with numbers as names. See Mercedes E500, GL500, BMW 3,5,7.
In the construction plan was also
- Do not install bow, side & aft curtains
- Swiss lights / oil pan
-Gas tank access plate / fuel shutoff switch
Gas fill hoses outside of bulkhead
-Do not install windshield or outdrive

I think it is a mixture of several versions for the European market. But I find the way it is, it looks really good.
Especially it drives really nice, I like it. So far the best boat I had.

Greetings Oliver

Glad you like her Oliver.
When you get time , it would be neat to see more pics of her.
No matter what , she is a nice looking boat for sure.:wink_thumbup:

The whole week we have permanent rain, and it's cold. Starting next week, it will be better again.
I only have pictures from my workshop where I built the boat.
see Appendix

That boat is in very nice condition! :wink_thumbup:

Looks like a Diablo to me! The bucket seats are pre-1994. Are we sure this isn't a 1993 Diablo?

That's exactly what i think it is. I really think that this boat was possibly a partially finished one sitting at the Mariah factory that was put together a year or so later with available parts and shipped to Europe for sale. Either way, the OP has done a terrific job of bringing it back into pristine condition.

ColoradoDiablo 07-10-2014 11:11 PM

X2 for sure.

Thank you for the flowers. So much work it was not. The boat was as it is written at the very beginning 10 years in a barn because it was after an accident on a highway just forget.

20 hours polishing, remove eight hours a hole in the ground, one evening Carburetor complete cleaning. And two days drive damage repair. And 1 day judge and improve the trailer.

Couple little things and services, and that was it. Thus, from the cost side manageable.

The boat has only just 35 hours, and it was and is a pure trailer boat that is used only on weekends. Only pure freshwater operation then leads to the good reason condition.

Forget. 3 days, interior cleaning and installation a 15 Colors LED System.

Greetings Oliver
