mirage

My vote is for 26' Corsa/Martini.
Definitely not a 28SS
Definitely not a 9 Meter Mirage.

LS

9 Meter Mirage on the left, Cigarette 28SS on the right.

It's gotta be a Corsa, or a copy (unless Corsa copied someone else). If the hull ID starts with "MPB", it's a Corsa.

Here's a pic of mine. Deck cleats, railings & hatches are all in the same location...

I don't think the Cig 28's have the same rear hull (circled in red). It looks alot like Oceans pic.

BTW.....Damn nice looking boat, Ocean.

Well crap! I forgot the pic.......or is this called 'whoring'

Thanks. I kinda think of it as a classic car. When I pull up to the bars or gas docks, there's always someone who says "what's that?". It seems everyone is used to more modern boats with wild paint schemes and disco graphics, so when they see something like this it's a change from the norm.

Now if I could only get it to run as fast as it looks...next year a 502 & a Konrad drive.

P.S. - That "Beer *****" on your website looks awfully similar. I wonder if the Corsa spies were peeking over the fence at Cigs when they designed the Martini...both were children of Thunderboat Row...

Hey danny, still watching this thread?? I saw a 26 martini for sale with a #6 drive and I believe 900hp - 110mph boat, check it out. Can't remember if it was on oso or traderonline......

Dayum!!! I was thinking about bumping up my HP to 500. That would be plenty for such a lightweight boat. There is no way I would want to see 110mph in my boat. Anything bigger than 1' ~ 2' and your kidneys are crying for mamma.

I'm gonna look for that ad.

Thanks,

Cigarette type boat is correct. If there is such a thing. cb
