Cortes Mirage Info
 

Anybody have and old brochures or company info? Currently putting one back together.

I have had two 29' Mirage's, great boat.

What is the fastest you ever ran in a 29' Mirage? Building my Cary 29 and they are very similar in size and design. Thanks

I will let you know, mine is setup with twin 454 Magnums and TRS drives

My red & white Mirage with small blocks & Trs drives ran around 70mph when I raced it in the APBA A class. My off white 29' Mirage ran in the mid 60's with the stock Trs 330 Big Blocks. Top Prop here on OSO has the Wolverine 29' Mirage with staggered Trs & Big Blocks & it runs in the upper 80's.

I'm putting 750s and arneson surface drives on my boat. Just curious. They seem to be good running boat s.

The Cortes Mirage was built in Miami,Fla by Estanilao Cortes one of the best plug makers /marine carpenters back in the day he built a 25,29,32 and 36 footers. He is still alive today and his son is Jose Cortes was Pops57 on the board here. These boats were solid heavy boats built for offshore conditions. Hey Akronspeed post some pics of your project ! these boats are rare not a big production of them. Its amazing after all these years they have those classic lines in the water, a testament to the skill of Estanislao Cortes and Mirage.

What is the actual Loa of the Mirage 29.My Cary is 29'9". Should have been called a 30. But back then they didn't need to round up all the time. The hull is rare and only a few were made. Mine was titled in 1980 by Bob Latham and he told me they were taking the sign off the building as he drove away to become Black fin.

Glad the 29' Cary is beingh re-configured back to i/o's and surface drives!.............We need to catch up & talk about future plans for your 29' and my 27'
