Restored my Supra Mariah

[JacquesN]

Hi there from SA.Been a few hectic months to restore this 1989 Supra Mariah .It was found at a holiday resort standing for years and glad it could be saved.This boat was used in the 89 till 95 to pull tube's around the resorts dam. Now it is great old school family boat. This boat has done a true 119 hours but the hull was hammered by our South African sun and of course the interior was shot and faded.

So I bought it, had the hull polished and buffed up, replaced the interior and carpets. It still boasts all the standard guages and steering wheel.

Installed a new holley 4 barrel carb , installed a electronic ignition ,new stereo, new battery, a proper service and refurbished the trailer. Only trouble was that I lost the port side vent window when I was moving the boat around from interior place to workshop and cannot find one. This is one of two in South Africa. We do have quite a bit of bravura's and conbrio's going around.

She is special cause she has a 454 installed which I think was rare.

Good job. The boat looks great. Enjoy it. I ski every once in a while with very nice guy transplanted here in Illinois from SA. That's when we can pull him away from wind surfing.
