If you like this era of offshore racing you will probably enjoy this book.

I have seen this Mirage, unfortunately she was left in the water, and has some issues . It will need some love, But it's still a cool boat..

I don't think she's close to 14k... Maybe 8 on a good day.

I do as well. The boat got as cheap as $12K if I remember right, I don't know why the Seller would put the price at $14K on Ebay, maybe just reaching a bit at first to see if it can bring a higher price in a national market.

That said, the biggest problem with the boat is that it runs small blocks. I know they can be built, and I know that it is a lightweight, 29' boat, but I'd still prefer some BBCs in it if I were seriously looking at it.
