Any time you want to sell that thing...let me know.
Love me some Mirage! Mine was a 93', and I think the split window came after. I am still not a fan of painting the engine cowls, but that is bad ass.Yours? What year?
Do you miss it? Some cool Daytona's in this thread for sure! My wife has run ours up to 80 with a whole lot of pedal left. =)
Ran around 107 at Lake Mead so 110s are possible. Fun little boat.

I always regret not taking a loan out on this when it was up for sale. I just couldn't swing the cash at the time, and you know....toys!
just an amazing boat!

Great pictures everyone!
Haha, y’all kept great care of it. I bought it from a gentlemen in Austin who I believe had bought it from you all. I’ve had it in houston area for the last ~7 years and it’s definitely well cared for, garaged, etc. It now has a Jay Smith Racing Engines rebuilt power head and new sport master lower end… I love it.Holy shit! That's my old boat! I was wondering just the other day where she was and if someone was taking care of her!!
well,i BLEED 2 stroke Mercs,but they are becoming extinct..believe me when i say i am in denial..that V8 300R is only slightly heavier then 300XS and i would NEVER think of running that much wieght on a 19 daytona,but would consider on the 21..JMOI do miss it. My wife was afraid to ride in it. She has a bad back. Funny - a buddy of mine sent me this today... I file it under the just because you can does not mean you should dept. The guy that bought if from me ruined an awesome boat. What a bummer. View attachment 1089063
Mine is a 93 as well with a 260, has 55 hours on since new, real garage find I got in michigan. The split window was the ski racer or jaguar and without the split window was the river racer and was center steer. I believe that’s how it worked. Same bottom.Love me some Mirage!

That boat you bought was very well taken care of.Mine is a 93 as well with a 260, has 55 hours on since new, real garage find I got in michigan.

My 2nd favorite trailer queen.Transformation over the years.
Oh man.....listen, that is cool too, I just don't find it anywhere near the coolness of a 21 with twins. I get more questions about my little 21 than I did my 40' Skater.I do miss it.
