Found a boat today to replace the Scarab, [Lee] here on OSO who I sold the Scarab too found this on boat trader for me, its not a Magnum but at least it starts with a M, 29' 1979 MIRAGE. This was to good of a deal to let get away, fresh water boat, hoist kept, all original and with a trailer. And it was right here, 10 miles from my house. It has stock 330hp 454's and trs drives. Mirage boats were sold here by Pete Smith of Wolverine race boat fame back then. It even has Wolverine custom trim tabs. This was my second choice next to a Magnum Sedan, but I just could not find a Magnum locally. Here is a few pic's.

This boat is 4 doors down from me, I never had a chance to check it out, just found out from a closer look it was a Mirage, always kept on the lift and rarely taken out. Looks to be really a nice looking boat.

So did you buy it??? Whats he asking???

h2oboater

Yes I bought it, they were asking $12900.00 with a Eagle trailer. Very stock and clean, ran it last night it's all good.
