The Mariah Owners Club is a global community of Mariah Boat owners and enthusiasts.
Mariah Boats, Inc. was founded in 1989 by Jimmy Fulks who began building world class boats out of his garage. The company quickly grew into a global entity with a dealer network spanning the world and a global headquarters in Illinois. Mariah's long time slogan was "Equipped Like No Other Boat in the World" and that is a fact. Original Mariah Boats are in the same class as high end Cobalts, Chaparalls, and Sea Rays. In 2001, Mariah closed its doors as the company could no longer keep up with the cost cutting and quality cutting that was taking place in the rest of the market. People were no longer willing to pay for the quality that was a Mariah. Even today, used, Original Mariahs made from 1989-2001 Shabah, Talari, Davanti, Diablo, Barchetta, Jubilee and Z-series models sell for a high premium and have a HUGE global following.
In 2003, Mariah Boats were back in production as the assets of Mariah Boats, Inc. were purchased by Sea Fox boats. These new Mariahs are nothing like the originals, but high quality boats none the less. Unfortunately, Sea Fox chose not to support the Original Mariahs and so these owners were left to fend for themselves. But not anymore!

Officially online and open for registration in July, 2007, the Mariah Owners Club has been online for almost 9 months. In this time we have grown to over 400 members from all parts of the globe. We average at least 45 new users a month and each month is better than our last!
Our databases have helped countless members get the information they need that is no longer available with the closing of Mariah Boats, Inc. Many members have joined the club not really knowing what a Mariah Boat is and have since bought a Mariah after the knowledge they gained from the Mariah Owners Club.

Our plans for the future are:
- Open up an online store for members to purchase vinyl graphics
- Print business cards for members to hand out
- Print vinyl stickers to represent the club for members to put on their boat
- Open up a MariahWiki with every piece of Mariah knowledge categoriezed and easy to find for all our members
- Continueing to add content to the site

I look forward to hearing all of your comments on how we can improve and increase our membership!
