Rebirth Of Powerboat History 28 & 30
We are excited to announce that we have acquired a piece of powerboat history. We got our hands on a mold built using a 29 Mirage from Cortes as a plug and stretched to 33. It was built by a gentleman Pedro Repoli no longer around that worked for magnum, cigarette and midnight express. The mold has been sitting for over 20 years upside down until we found her. We are currently getting her cleaned up and polished up along with making a few improvements to her. We plan on building a 28 & 30 models with euro transom laid out as center consoles but we can build to suit or sell hull as kit to be finished elsewhere. If you have any questions please dm us or follow us at VidaMar Boats on Instagram. I will be posting pics as we progress thank you for viewing

EDT thanks for the feed back the 30 model is going to be similar to the 29 as I believe that the centerline measurement was just shy of 30 so we are going to make it 30 and wanted to make a smaller one 28 for those individuals that may want or cant afford the bigger model. We are also thinking of building a 32. They will all be great including the 28 bc of the 8.6 beam on her. Thats our thinking always

EDT & Thriller a lot of the boat is staying on the mirage. Yes it was widthed 6 and stretched 4 but the freeboard is the same and the strakes where not changed, plus all change is not bad. Look at the 30 velocity I have been told that it is a copy of the 29 mirage that a pad was added to it. I agree with you that it has been altered a bit but the the altercations I think will improve a already great boat. With that said I respect your opinions!
