big83bronco · 05-17-2008, 12:46 AM

I am about to purchase a 1989 Maelstrom Mirage 23'. It has a 454BB with a Bravo 1 drive.

These are relatively rare boats and I cant find a whole lot on them on these forums. Anyone know of performance numbers or the ride/safety of this hull design.

I have had many center console outboard boats adn thought i needed a new rnexpensive toy for the rivers and bay.

Any help or insight would be appreciated.

Malstroms were good boats and very fast. They held The A class kilo record for a while . The boats raced for a long time. I think the overall length is shorter than 24" nice pad bottom ,good handling ,hand built.

bigbronco, where is the boat you are looking at buying? I have come across one as well that I am looking at.

Not to be a wet-blanket, but a search will usually uncover info on ANY offshore boat.

For instance....

Once you've searched all related topics, then I'm sure people will chime in with data on specific questions.

Mealstrom's are pretty cool, unique boat, best of luck!
