Z Model 258 in disguise ????????
1 Attachment(s)
Hello all.....
I was looking thru some threads and found this as options to identify Z model Mariah's and realized I own a Z ............ hand sculpted fiberglass interior side panels with integrated storage custom hull and deck graphics scheme stainless steel docking lights in bow of hull stainless steel anchor rope chocks windshield defogger windshield wiper engine hour meter mileage counter with reset button in dash in dash water depth gauge with alarm electric adjustable driver bucket seat (bolsters on Z272 & Z275) sony am/fm/cd with storage and 4 speakers air & water temperature LED readout circuit breaker panel with reset buttons transom mounted courtesy light on swim platform instrument panel dimmer switch stainless steel "indy" style positive latch fuel fill fiberglass sundeck liner on supersport models electric hatch lifter on supersport models power radio antenna power telescopic anchor light with SOS function custom made waterproof clock in dash external tilt switch on transom analog electronic fluxgate compass two additional courtesy lights for evening cruises woodgrain dash and custom matched steering wheel insert stainless steel engine vents custom made powdercoated cross curve windshields ............. So. I have all of these options except 2-3 of them.......what threw me off was all the Z models I see have bad ass paint jobs and my boat has a couple maroone lines painted down the side with the sticker graphic in between ....... My question is ...... Are all Z models painted a solid color or are some painted like mine??????? Also my boat has bottom paint that I completely hate and was wondering if anyone has had it removed and repainted and how much it was. Thanks to everyone. I love my Mariah ( & the owners club) P.s. I noticed my prestige trailer says Z258 |

Bonus points for you! :) Yes, some Z models have your paint scheme or somewhat plane paint schemes cuz some of those features were optional on Z's. If you do a site search here you will find a few threads discussing the application of & removal of bottom paint.

If you'd like a solid confirmation if you've got a Z, send me a PM with your Hull ID number and I might be able look it up on the factory build sheets. Although I'm missing some of the '99 model year build sheets, so I can't guarantee I have the info.
But just a bit of info for you, the Z-Series "Limited Edition" models are the solid gelcoat colors (ie solid white, yellow, red, green, and black hulls). As for your bottom paint, do you know what type it is? Some bottom paint (like Interlux VC-17) comes off simply by rubbing it with a rag with acetone on it. However, if it's a thicker textured paint, you'll most likely need to have it professionally removed by sandblasting. I'd venture a guess that you're looking at around $2k to have it professionally removed and re-gelcoated. Are you primarily trailering it, or storing in the water? |

It came off quite easily, possibly as the previous owner hadnt keyed the surface, and after a quick cut and polish looked like new again. Instead of antifouling, I use a good quality wax polish (Carnauba I think) on the sides and bottom. The crud seems to come off ok when I give it a quick wipe down. Admittedly the boat is only in from May till October but it seems to be doing ok... |
