The capability of the Mirage hull was the same as a Cig, but the feel was different. I went from a Magnum [no cockpit liner to deck & low freeboard] to a Mirage that had a cockpit liner & higher freeboard. As Wally Harper [LI'L SMIDGEN] did the same thing and told me the same story when he bought a Mirage from Pete Smith [WOLVERINE] to replace his Mag. Wally just never got use to it, it took me at lest one season to get the feel for it. Now I can say the Mirage has the best of both worlds great hull with a big cockpit & sunpad.

Toasty... You could try Gary Hartman B&G Marine. 732-920-6477. His is in Point Pleasant @ Arnold's Yacht Basin. He has built all the engines for Rolling Thunder and engines for a lot of racers throughout the years, including Buckshot. Great Adventure has had a number of B&G's in her. His track record speaks for it self.
