Default Can anyone help me identify this Century 1985 with twin Merc 260 I/O?

Hi

I know the picture sucks but it's the only one I have. Approx 26 ft deep vee offshore style hull with 2 x Mercruiser 260 V8 I/O on old Alpha style drives. Any ideas?

Thanks!

This was be built by MIRAGEBOATS, INC located in Kent, WA. Not to be confused with Mirage by Cormed Marine Inc builders of the Lil Rhino & Wolverine hulls from Opalocka Fl.

That is DEFINITELY not a Mirage...It may be a Century (Im not familiar with their models). I live in the Seattle area, have owned 2 Mirages and know Mirage like the back of my hand.
