29 mirage 9M-ss
 

I have a 1979 29 mirage that I'm thinking of selling at the end of the boating season and want to see what kind of interest is out there. It was previously owned by mark ( h20 boater) and has been redone. It was a fresh water boat all of its life up until 2011. Garaged when stored for winter and lift stored during summer.

very nice rig

Fantastic boat and I like the colors too. Definitely an opportunity for somebody to acquire one of the nicest there is.

I would honestly have to say other than the mirage wolverine that Joe owns my boat is one of the nicest out there. Remember there is a limited number out there that are in usable condition or redone. I'm surprised I didn't get more hits on it.

What are you thinking about asking for your boat?

I haven't come up with a # yet but I'm wondering what people think it's worth, I have lot blood and sweat into it

Nice looking boat! I could be interested in buying my old boat back from 20 years ago!

Woz 58 it was a great boat when I bought it from you but Jim's improvements have taken to a new level. Jim really has put a lot blood and sweat & $$$$$ into it. It would be great to see this Mirage back on Lake St Clair....

Can you guys tell me the name that was on the boat before it was called SWITCH

Jim when the SWITCH name was removed you could see that there was another name but I could never make it out. Here is a pic of it when it was for sale in Powerboat in the early 80's still without a name on the sides so that other name it had must have been on it some time in the mid to late 80's ???

Mark you amaze me with the photos you pull out of thin air

That is a great ad, 30k back then was a lot of money and I've been trying to figure out the first name on the boat for a while now and just can't get it . The letters are quite large and kind of bubbly

Do you think it was still a new boat in that ad ??

I think the name was BUCKS BANDIT. A gentleman that lived in Grosse Isle Mi. owned it at one time.

BUCKS BANDIT. That makes sense as I thought it's original name was buck something//

Great, not that it matters but it is interesting to me to finally know the name. Every year when I compounded and wax it I could see it under the name switch and couldn't figure it out. Thanks again guys.

Woz58, if I do decide to sell it would you like me to let you know before advertising it. Being you owned it once before and it sounded like you may have some interest you can have first shot at it. I would love to see it go back to Lake St Clair where it belongs. I'm decided not to use it this year due to buying a new center console so it's in my garage protect where it stays all the time when its not in use.

No the phone # in the ad is different than Pete's Wolverine Mirage sales ad.

Jim I would love to have it back but since my brothers passing my fleet has grown to 7 boats, a 43' Cary & 28' Donzi sportsman + he had 2 Corvettes I now have. I need to sell the Cary & maybe one of my Donzi's, I will need to get a warehouse next ????

For sale
 

Let me know how much your thinking I have been looking at a few for sale ??

Sorry for intruding but I need help

I have not had any luck finding an over the bow cable and hardware setup that comes with the MIRAGE 9M-SS

Having said that, I wonder if someone knows where it can be purchased or built or the name of it

Any help would be much appreciated

Thanks

Its called a "life line"

I had to build mine from scratch. Most of the parts are still available except the top caps of the stanchions. The stanchion bases are 30 degree. I’ll post some pictures of a original one and the one I made.
