That is a 26 foot Mirage built in Holland Michigan. We took a hull mold off our 26 foot Monza back in 1980 and than built a newer more modern deck mold for it.


We only built 1 before we shut the doors and sold our 18 mold to Powerquest and the 26 foot mold went to a guy named Jack Borsma who built them as Mirages for a while.

The mold was later sold to Century boats and they built a few before putting a more up to date deck on it in 1985 or so.

So this is the one you built?

The strakes and running surface is identical to my 27 Carrera,,

we owned the company Baron Marine out of GrandRapids Michigan and built the molds and produced one 26 boat and 13 18 footers before the economy shut us down.

The one 26 we built is not that one I know that , When Mirage built them he only built maybe 10 of them and I doubt they had the sink and stuff in them .

It looks like a Century build as they were very cheap
