Makes sense,

Maybe Jeff, I think Brownie would know. They look very similar. I'm curious as to why they still called mine 29 when the center line length is 3" shy of 30'. Almost always the company's rounded up. I think this hull becomes a Power Play . Bob Latham told me he got it in 1980. They were removing the sign on the building and putting up Blackfin as he was leaving.

Here is a pic of the 29' Mirage CC, looks like they built them also as a single engine...

Default 1976 Mirage 9M SS

I just posted my 9M SS today on Ebay as item #332313642646
The engines are in good shape but will likely need a valve job in the near future.

The original builder Cortes is my family on my mother’s side and if anyone is interested my brother and I have a mold of the mirage it was stretched to 32’ but can be damned and built to 29’-32’. We can build a custom boat using all composite materials. Let me know if interested
