Hello all I'm new to site my friend and I just purchased a 1986 36ft mirage cc with bracket on back for trip or quad engines. The boat is a project boat needs a lot of work but I can't find hardly any history on these boats. I'm just tryn to see who might know more then I do and wouldn't mind telling me ins and outs of this boat. Please and thank you.

Never knew that Mirage made a 36 center console....What is the hin?

post up some pics of it...

Make sure there's no square groupers in there as im sure that boat from that time frame was a work horse. Awesome rough water boat. But they do need power to move

That would be a nice way to fund quad motors

I'm tryn to post picture but it won't let me.....

Check this out, not sure if its the same mirage you speak of. I have a 36 Mirage Made by E. Cortez out of Florida. Mine has inboards, I spoke with his son via email and shared photos of my boat, they said 80% of the boats they made were inboard. Pretty cool history on these boats, I believe the story goes like this. E. Cortez worked for Cigarette making boats, then ventured off to make his own: "Mirage" each boat was hand made, not many of them around.

Is Cortes still alive ? THEY MADE A 29,32 AND 36FT killer boats. I had seen a 36 cc custom cut top deck with 502s in Ft.Lauderdale was dark blue pretty nice. Would like to speak with his son, his dad was a master plugmaker to build molds.

I think Cortes is still alive and his son has been on this forum before. He might see this and chime in on the thread.
