Default Seeking Mirage 29'9

Greetings,


I realize there may be a fat chance one is around but only one way to find out.

My Dad had a 29'9 maybe a 1976?. Not real sure as I was quite young,

Some/most of my best memories as a child was with my Dad hammering that thing all around lake St.Clair 70+. I would be standing in the middle grasping both sides of the windows legs bending

in unison. Good times good time.

Any way just putting it out there That a Middle-aged Man is looking for a 29'9 and childhood memories once again.


Cheers.

This is sunsets 78 and my 77 9 meters. Great boats might want to ask on the classic offshore boat restoration group on Facebook.

Very nice both of you!!. I really like your 77 Thriller, if you ever think of parting ways please let me know...

btw: Does anyone here know what happened to the 29 in Jersey that was for sale awhile ago - reconfigured for center steering??

I'm thing it might be my Dads old boat judging by the chrome cap on the tip of the bow (he had a large spot light installed)
