I have a 1976 Mirage 9M SS that I bought from the Lake St. Clair area in 2015.
It was sanded down to gelcoat on purchase. It was repainted white on the sides with hybrid petit bottom paint last summer.
If I read the HIN correctly, is it #01 for Feb 76? (Hull 290010276)
Just took it out yesterday on Lake Erie for its first run of the year.

Did you buy the boat from the Howell Michigan? And where on Erie do you boat? I have a 77 9 meter in port Clinton.

Yours would be the first one built, built in February 1976. So your boat is either Lil Rhino or Wolverine would be my guess from what I have read and some people have told me. Post pictures of it if you get a chance

Yes, it was purchased in Howell. I live about 15m south of Lake Erie and typically launch boats from Fenwick or Turtle Creek. We're probably going to be putting it up for sale this spring.

This is the old Silver Streak, I sold it to mike. It used to have triple bolsters with center steering. I can't believe they cut out the dash. I always wondered what happened to it.

The Mirage in Howell [ that Elliot had ] I believe was the Mirage that Wally Harper bought after he sold his race Magnum. Wally only had it for one season then he bought a 32' Spectra vee hull.

h2oboater My mirage is a 1977 that I bought out of northern Chicago last fall. But funny you ask because my friend owns your old boat and I keep mine next to it. Lol[ATTACH=CONFIG]567754[/ATTACH]
