I agree, I almost start drooling when I see that particular red on a Mariah, especially when it's the whole boat.

Love the swim platforms for sure on both of your boats. Last summer, my son and I built the swim platform ourselves that is on ours.

Doug, I have the almost twin of your Mariah, 1999 Z212, and mine is even the same color as yours I think. (polo) which is a dark green.

I would like to build my own as well am am wondering if you could post up some pics of yours to give me some ideas. I was thinking of using a marine ply as core, wrapping it in glass and then using truck bed liner to finish it off. Our local body shop says he can match the color and give me the texture that I would want for the bed liner. Do you think that this idea would work?

Here are some pix of my new platform on our z302.

Purchased from Mountain Marine (swimplatformsuperstore)

Added a bit of extra bracing. (Fabbed the 2 shorter center downtube braces and the piece of stainless tubing just inside the rear lip myself)Everything else came with the platform.

Wedge model 80" wide 28" deep w 3 step undermount ladder

Installed myself,

Looks good knightriderz, I like those extra braces. It should be sturdy.

Hey, Love the graphics Flattop- are they original? Is your boat black/white? I Think if Eftink has that kit I'd like to get it- I have a 94 Z 212 shabah with the middle part painted over in white. the black and gold would be amazing on it- you have a 99 shabah 212, right? with factory thruhull?

Gotta call today from Kelly today informing me that they have a brand new design in the works that wasnt supposed to debut til the fall boat shows, but asked if I was interested in "Beta testing" it now.

She is supposed to send me some pics of the first plug pulled from the mold asap.

Im getting all excited now.
