2000 Mariah Shabah Z250: She Gets New Eyes
http://shabahz250.blogspot.com/2007/05/she-gets-new-eyes.html
Tuesday, May 8, 2007. She Gets New Eyes. So I conjured up this idea about swapping all my lights to LED's after an episode on the river last year that almost drained my batteries. I know LED's only use a fraction of what regular bulbs use, and put off much less heat. So I figured what the hell, it'd be worth a try. I did some searching on the net, came up with a few limited resources. I found SuperBright LED's. So then came the courtesy lights. I used the same 5 LED fixtures as the engine lights to p...

Tuesday, May 22, 2007. Finally I found some time to take the boat out again, this time with the digital camera! The first thing I noticed was there was very few people out, and it was truly a beautiful warm summer evening last night. Not quite sure why there weren't more boats out, but it was a Monday night. As I headed up river, I began to notice the water level is much lower than before. AND, the drift was extremely heavy. Everything from empty Gatorade bottles, to Styrofoam (from docks maybe? Anyway, ...

2000 Mariah Shabah Z250: Holy....
http://shabahz250.blogspot.com/2007/06/holy.html
Tuesday, June 12, 2007. After bringing the boat back from Lake Norris, I started cleaning the hull, not because of the water at Norris, but because of the Ohio River residue that was on there before the trip! I armed myself with some Hull Cleaner, two buckets and a few rags. I put some serious work into getting the river stains out, and when coming around the front of the hull, I looked and saw this. So the investigation begins. Closeup of deepest one. So I applied it on, here's the finished product.

2000 Mariah Shabah Z250: April 2007
http://shabahz250.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 28, 2007. Been working on cleaning the boat every night, after a bottle of Bass Pro Mold and Mildew remover, here's the progress. Can really tell the difference in this pic. I've decided it's probably a good idea to remove everything from the boat, and give it a full-on mold removal treatment. So, I removed the side trim panels, in order to treat everything behind them, and it'll give me a chance to do a more thorough cleaning out of the boat. Tuesday, April 24, 2007. Bass Pro comes thru!

2000 Mariah Shabah Z250: Lake Norris 6/2 - 6/5
http://shabahz250.blogspot.com/2007/06/lake-norris-62-65.html
Wednesday, June 6, 2007. Lake Norris 6/2 - 6/5. We've been planning on taking a trip to Lake Norris in Tennessee since January, and it finally came up on us after waiting patiently for 6 months. We arrived at Lake Norris on Saturday afternoon, after a few miles of winding back country roads which would scare even the most experienced trailer drivers. This is the house we stayed in. We rented the house for 3 days, and it was a bargain! We found a cove to anchor in, and all hopped out for some swimming and...

http://shabahz250.blogspot.com/2007/05/first-run.html
Monday, May 14, 2007. Ran through downtown Cincinnati, and then anchored up beyond Coney Island and River Downs for some sun! I dropped the ladder, took a few steps down, and realized, NO WAY. Water's only 62 degrees! Lesson learned: Bring camera next time. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Cincinnati, OH, United States. View my complete profile. Captain Joe's Columbia 26. All shined up and ready to go! She Gets New Eyes.

Thursday, June 21, 2007. Hull Finished and A New Top. Lesson Learned: keep head away from buffer to avoid splattering! Even though it smells good, the taste isn't. Here's the final product, afer Meguiars Oxidation Remover, #45 Polish, and a coat of wax. She also got her new cockpit cover installed. I switched to a black cover for pure aesthetics, and it makes the boat look brand new! Tuesday, June 12, 2007. So the investigation begins. Closeup of deepest one. ANYWAY, so I did my research on the Trailer B...
