There use to be a 29 Mirage out of Jackson NJ called "Gazpacho". It raced in the late 70's early 80's. I've got pics of it but can't post them
No scanner) Anyone remember this boat?
Eventually the boat was sold and became "Outlaw" and was stolen out of East Dover Marina.

Ran into this informative thread and it sounds like theres a bunch of downriver, michigan guys on here. Anyone remember a guy named Wayne Files? He made a few very strange fiberglass cats at a warehouse on Biddle Ave(which burned down)., and lived on GI? I remember this was about 1980ish?

H20,
Yes it is the same team-Rich Tropolli. I think Rich last raced the Fountaine "Rio Roses".
I believe Tim Sharkey, (aka Sharkey Marine Images) raced in the Mirage with Rich.
I think the Mirage later raced as "Finish Line".
