The thing I'm looking forward to the most is the EFI's fuel consumption and turning the key and having it start. No pumping the throttle, no changes from 90 degrees out to 50 degrees out. The 383 (tree eighty tree) will be mild since I don't know the limitations of the Alpha and don't want to spend a bunch of money on an outdrive. I'm sure Jeff's Magnum will still outrun it.

I'm in need of a useable alpha one if anybody knows of anything. Mine has the skeg broken off and a plate bolted over it and a decent size piece of the vantilation plate is also gone.

If it's over 24 ft. I don't have room for it right now I'd like to end up with a 272 in the next few years. About all I know about a Mirage is that it shares the same name as a hairband night club here in Minneapolis lol I think I'd also probably have to sell the Camaro and a few other things to be in the ballpark of a Mirage. lol

Jeff usually likes building the vehicle than over using it I think, but I know he likes his Magnum alot. The Minx has taken a back seat to it.

I think it's living in Michigan these days.
I bought the orginal 24' Skater Express in 88-89. We repainted her and the second photo is it at Lake X. I sold it to a guy from Surinam. He trailered it to Miami and the put it on a barge to Surinam. It had four 60 gallon tanks and ran the New Orleans to St. Louis run.
