My father had just finished them and was taking them out for a test. Video was pretty long so I had to split it into like 4 parts. Check them out on youtube. Let me know what you guys think!

PS. I have a few more I should be putting up. Don't know when though.

Great stuff. Our first 'real' powerboat was a 29' mirage. It was also one of the first they sold - i think the company was less than one year old when we got it. We went out for a test run, and were extremely impressed. Only thing i never liked was the extremely tacky 'white fluff' siding down belowdecks. But a solid boat. I remember watching a race for P, M, and S class boats in Great South Bay in the mid-70's. The 2nd place boat was a Mirage.

With Merc 280hp motors, we got almost 63mph from it. We should of got the Merc 330's, which would have given us about 70mph, but instead we got a 35' cigarette.

Always loved the Mirage though.
