I have no regrets going through what I did to get her and she's mine until I get put in the ground. From what I've been told I have the only all black hull 36 Mr Cortez ever made. Jose, I'm looking forward to the 29 video. I have a friend who has a red hulled 29 who'd love to see the vid as well. |

My dad built one set of molds for every model he had. He never built a mold with a reverse transom. That was not a Mirage. A boat was probably copied and redesigned that way but it wasnt a Mirage. The original Mirage molds were taken by the government and given back to me shortly while my father was still on vacation. I stored all the original molds until they were vandalized. At that point my father destroyed them and threw them out! Anything else out there right now is a copy and not the original Mirage mold. You have my word on that!

I was too young at the time but my father sure does remember. If there is one boat he truly misses and talks about all the time is the 29' he built for himself and had Paul make him the engines for! That boat would destroy pretty much anything that went at it at that time. It was a black 29' with a woman painted on the side coming out of a body of water also with a big Mirage sign on the side! (Anyone know what ever happen to that boat?) Ask Paul if he remembers that one?
My father is glad to hear from you and he asks you to send Paul a hug with all his heart! PS. I have a video I should be putting up soon of a 29' Mirage inboard in which I believe it's Paul driving it. I believe he sent it to my father a long time ago. Ill keep you posted! Jose C. |

As promised here is a small clip of this 29' Mirage. I should be putting up more clips from the same tape. Please excuse the quality of the video for it isn't the best out there. But hey what can you expect from a VCR tape that is about 30 years old. LOL Im surprised the darn thing works!
PS. Can anyone make out what boat made the mistake of trying to go at it at around 3:35 into the video? LOL Check it out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=On0kZSg0PYM Pops |
