I got ahold of the guy who was trying to give this away and he says he got rid of it a long time ago.

That's a really nice looking boat, H2o. Do you ever wish you had it back? I can't stand selling anything anymore because I eventually want it back.

Couple of questions. Do you have a business number for Jim? I wouldn't mind getting back in touch with him. It's been many years.

Also, are there any plans for another reunion this summer? I missed the last one and don't want to make that mistake again.

I have found most of my old offshore boats 6 of 10. But I would love to find my old Magnum she is M.I.A. Here are a few pic' of her many lives. I dont know any info on Jim, lost touch years ago. I was just talking about the reunion tonight, looking like a June date, but more to come later.

I had just recently flown to North Carolina to take
a look. I had originally seen the boat in Pt.pleasant
at its first or second race in 1992, and to have seen
her back in July 2009 was very sad...................
To much for me to handle on restoration end, if any
one else is interested I will be more than happy to
surrender all my Survey photo's and full disclosure
of fact findings.

One of only three (3) I belive 32' Cortes Mirage's
ever produced. A true UNICORN at best..........

Crash-Box

PS: The big blocks were shoe horned in and shimmed
outboard from center stringer by 10 degree's.
I kid you not ! I got the pictures ... loll ...
