I'd like to see more pics of that boat.

yolo, do a search in this thread for mirage... you'll find all the pics available.

This was my red 1977 Mirage I had. And the white 1979 Mirage is the one I have today.

I hate to sound ignorant, but I don't see a lot of difference between a mirage and a scarab s-type. Am I wrong? Great looking boats.

They both copied the 28' Cigarette SS

almost same hull

The Mirage had alot more freeboard than the 28 Cigarette SS

From what i understand, they sure didn't ride the same.

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.

that mirrage came out very nice! wish i had the sutphen together to run you in 5 in MD, maybe by mid summer...
what kind of engines are you running in your boat?

Christian

Just small blocks with a little work here and there :cool-smiley-027:

SMALL BLOCKS ........ Yea :party-smiley-004:

Why do boaters from jersey always down size there stuff ??

Oh , so they have an excuse if they get beaten by another boat.:D:D

I came real close to buying that boat.....I could not swing two at the same time.......Was the trans bad, when i looked it had one bad trans but other than that it was a solid boat....Good parts in the engines....

I will see ya in ocean city

who did them. My Pop and I are building a set for the sutphen but looking for a machineist to go over the 2nd set. our guy retired...bore, line hone etc. what kind of exhaust? stainless marine with stainless risers?

should this be in the tech section?

Christian

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.

Great Luck, thank you... I am in dire need to get this boat back together. the next main question is weather stainless marine headers and tail pipes will hold up under my throttle wrist??? maybe CMI ?? have any suggestions?

SM over CMI for durability.

really, and i will prob save money
how do they work with big inch small blocks brownie said he would get back to me but never did...this is good news love saving $$ for gas

Both Trans were toast. 2 new ones

This has the Stainless marine and seem ok so far.

stainless marine are the best ,never ever heard of a problem with there headers or tailpipes.:cool-smiley-011:

They sound great :D

did you try the props from the sonic yet ?

Buy the way i had a sonic too, a 1989 30SS awsome boat.

No spent all day getting the carbs right. Had a small problem with the wrong gasket and my friend who did them did not want to listen to me. Took us 3 times on and off before he looked at the main body gasket and saw the idle circuit closed off. LOL new pugs tomorrow and some WOT testing to make sure all is ok

Let me know how that works for you ,please.:cool-smiley-011:

Oh and make me an offer on those TRS, cant see them nomore!!!!!

When talking about Mirage's you can't forget these two. Pete Smith [WOLVERINE] had two Mirages, the back up one will be on display at the Lake St Clair reunion June 14.

Look's more like a Mirage
