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.

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 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

**Dude! Sweet!** · 03-19-2009 07:44 PM

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!

**glassdave** · 03-19-2009 10:08 PM

maybe he was going for that P-29 Scarab look or that TwoFace poker run boat

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

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
