No Mariah Cup Holder for Me.

[bryont]

Funny thing just happened. I recently bought a 95 Mariah Z212 Shabah and it was missing a cup holder. The cup holders on these boats looked to be either polished aluminum or stainless. Very nice. Anyway, I emailed Mariah ( I am aware of the buy out by Sea Fox) to see if they could get me a replacement. The response from them basically said that they only purchased the Mariah NAME and could not help me with anything regarding my 95. That just seems pretty wrong to me. They offered absolutely no help what so ever. Well I replaced the cup holder with a black plastic one. Sure would have liked the shiny one. <br /> <br /> They did send me a brochure though. I was looking through it and it may be just me but the new Mariahs don’t have the same character as the older ones. Looks plain to me. Maybe I am just mad because I can’t get a pretty cup holder.

I used to sell Mariah's prior to them shutting the doors. The cup holders were/are two tier'd "spun" aluminum. Don't know where you could get some tho.

Re: No Mariah Cup Holder for Me.

You have to make a lot of things for boats these days.<br /><br />One exception---Cobalt boats. I used to order replacement cabin parts for a 1977 Cobalt bowrider directly from the warehouse out in Kansas and they fit exactly as they did when the boat was new---right down to the fuseholders in the 1/16th inch anodized aluminum dashboard.<br /><br />Mariah was trying to compete with Cobalt, and they gave it a pretty good shot.<br /><br />Oh, well---those were the days. I gave all that quality up for speed in my new, used rig.
