Check out our parts list here on the site. Hoosier Van & Truck in Elkhart IN was a large supplier to Mariah for their interior lighting. I don't believe they have a website anymore, but you can order any of their items by phone, and they also have an ebay store, I can't remember the exact name, but if you search for "oval courtesy lamp" on ebay, you'll find them. it's something with "HVT" in the name.

    Thanks ShabahZ280 but Im looking for the lights on johnnymo's cuddy pics. They are on either side of the mirrors on those pics on the second page of the thread. Can anything else be put in their place?

    Probably a van conversion shop could help.

    I spoke to a guy a year ago that had a FPS 30 with twins. He's in the LOTO area. Bought it brand new.

    the 30 will be back most likely for 2014 or as late as 2015. Hopefully I will have some input on the build. I have always heard the 30 from day one was a great handling boat.

    My understanding is that the hulls and mid cuddy are the same, only the top cap was changed. So ride quality should be virtually the same.

    Someone bought the 30' molds ?

    Z302 is one of the nicest riding MCOB boats there has ever been built. Ride quality wise. Sure there are hulls that are faster, others that are a bit more updated and fancy, but overall mine being 13 years old, still turns heads when you pull up to the dock and peps see us exit the open bow and reappear in the main cabin

    For my first time out on the LOTO with the 302 on a holiday weekend I couldn't ask for a better performing, riding and looking boat! As I pulled in my cove Saturday I saw another 302 pulling skiers... LOL The boat still looks as good if not better than most boats out there IMO (excluding other Mariah's)...
