I have no regrets going through what I did to get her and she's mine until I get put in the ground.
From what I've been told I have the only all black hull 36 Mr Cortez ever made.
Jose, I'm looking forward to the 29 video. I have a friend who has a red hulled 29 who'd love to see the vid as well. |

At that point my father destroyed them and threw them out! Anything else out there right now is a copy and not the original Mirage mold. You have my word on that!

(Anyone know what ever happen to that boat?) Ask Paul if he remembers that one?
My father is glad to hear from you and he asks you to send Paul a hug with all his heart!
PS. I have a video I should be putting up soon of a 29' Mirage inboard in which I believe it's Paul driving it. I believe he sent it to my father a long time ago. Ill keep you posted!

Here are a few more of my 1979 29' that I have now, it still has the original interior & engines. And the red & white Mirage I had back in the 80's. |

As promised here is a small clip of this 29' Mirage. I should be putting up more clips from the same tape. Please excuse the quality of the video for it isn't the best out there. But hey what can you expect from a VCR tape that is about 30 years old. LOL Im surprised the darn thing works!
PS. Can anyone make out what boat made the mistake of trying to go at it at around 3:35 into the video? LOL
Check it out!
