I emailed the guy a month or so ago (don't recall the price being on it) a month or so ago... no reply. Not that I would have bought it, so maybe he's smarter than I am! :D

Soooooo, Is one side painted different than the other???? or is it two different boats???? It's a Fukin legend in disguise either way,Cause You could never tell it was a record holder, unless he meant like albums or CD's-45's maybe.

maybe he was going for that P-29 Scarab look or that TwoFace poker run boat :D
Ya know your right he really didnt say what record it held
Most consecutive days on wood blocks?
Least amount of functioning OEM parts?
Most rain water ever held in bilge?
Largest mushrooms ever grown in cabin?
Held fourteen years of leaves from surrounding trees before owner noticed?
I'm sure the list goes on :rofl:

This Mirage was a topic on oso last year, back then it was FREE. Then it went on ebay, sold for about 150.00 but then it went on craigslist for more $$$$ last year, must not have sold, now its back on. We called on last year, it was to ruff . I had a Mirage in the 80's and I have one now, there a GREAT boat but I would pass on this one.

I watched my buddy do a burn out in front of the shop in his big block Chevelle when he was moving it into the paint booth. He was sitting on a milk crate and fell off when the car hooked... That was AWESOME! :D

I don't know about that...2 years ago, I went to help my buddy Dave in the pits and watch him race...then he decides he would rather swim than race...next thing I know Im wedged inside a waterlogged AMT trying to bail enough water out of it for the crane to pick it up, while huffing major gas fumes in a confined space, I would have much rather watched Dave just go happily round and round the course, but then again Dave never fails to entertain... :26::26::26:

Anytime... hey Dave, Johnny Gibson might be calling you (the kid that worked at LP) he just got an old Donzi CC, somebody did transom work to it previously (poor job) then they stuck a 250 on the back of a 19 foot boat. gibby's a good smart kid, but will probably need a pointer or two so he can figure out how to go about it. I looked at it and it's the most whacked transom design. most likely from a few amature redesigns etc. anyways I gave him your number.
glassdave

good deal Prag, yea just have him give me a call and I'll keep him pointed in the right direction. I think i know who he is from LP.

"Dear Mr. Craigslist Guy,
My name is Billy and I am 13. I saw your raceboat ad on craigslist and race boats are cool. I have have a good job because I have a paperroute. I want to buy your race boat and I can pay you $60 a month for 12 months. Since $60 x 10 months is $600, the other two months are for interest since you are allowing me to make payments. My dad wanted me to ask you a question. If it is a race boat, why doesn't it have big numbers on the side?? My dad says that race boats have big numbers on the side so you know who wins. Does this boat come with big numbers?? I can't see them in the pictures. Do big numbers cost extra?
Thank you.
Billy. "

Believe it or not, that's one of my old boats! I sold it about 18 years ago. Hard to believe it's still around. I put a pair of new 420's in it so it was a good runner. Looks like it would make a good bonfire now. Ian

I actualy paid a lot less for our boat and raced it almost all season without any major cash in it. That is untill this season Ha Ha watch out class 5
