Great Pics! Thank you for sharing.

Yes Thanks for sharing the pictures. My boat was Bob Latham s. I think he was throttling Evil ways at that time. He also throttled Magic Gems and Man O War.

I throttled M-44 that year.

That Mirage was built as Great Adventure
.It speared a wave in the first race of the year in California & tore the deck off.
That was the end of the GA Mirage for the team.

Here is a Lake St Clair Mirage that upset many racing in the APBA P class back in 1976 the HAWK,:eek: as it had staggered Merc 280TRS engines. This is one more classic that has vanished.

The Mirage posted above was sold. Does anyone know if there are any 25 foot Cortes-built Mirages out there?
