Does this package include a helmet,there is no way in this world i would get in something that fast without one,you are very brave......

4 racers in this room have past away since this pic was snapped in 2007,and they were all waring helmets ,it might seem like fun with the wind in your face but at 118mph,you dont stand a chance if something goes wrong.
So please mate ware your helmet .............

Hi

Apparently the mirage is not very good at cornering. We in South Africa do circuit racing with similar boats and have 90 to 180 deg corners race coarse about 3km long with 4 corners. our boats only do about 140km/hr with a 200hp 2.5l standard motor with 27 pt Mercury Fury. We are looking for a fast well designed two seater hull that is capable of speeds ion excess of 135km/hr. Do you know where we can find anything

Good looking boat. I need to know whether these hull can turn as we do circuit racing. I also dont need the motor and it is also extremely expensive for us to import it with a trailer. Looks like it has great potential. what i am also very interested in is how the motor trim works with the hydraulic steering. If you need to sell the boat as a unit you might want to let me know who builds these boats so i can only sourse the hull.

in racing

regards

as of 1998 the boats are built by mirage boats , in winter haven fl . 863 581 7807

this boat listed was built my mirage boats out of kuffman texas. the boat turnes very well , but will not turn as hard as an f1 boat , this bould be a great boat for you if you guys could sit tandem . (in line)

this boat is raced in a class called super sport in the US

I would like to make arrangements so that i could come across to test drive the boat if at all possible. I would suggest that we communicate via my e-mail address at williedw@mweb.co.za which would be better. Another question i have is the steering system. You are running a hydraulic system and have attached to it a system which is wireless for the trim system. Do you supply these systems and or where could i get them?

Thanks for your quick reply previously

I owned one of these boats for 7 years and can tell you that they turn great! Though you do have to back out of the throttle and scrub some speed (from 100+ mph) before making a 180 degree turn, you can turn the boat hard (single pin 180 degree turn) at 85 mph. No comparison to my F2 boat that I never back out of the throttle (100+ mph) for single pin turns, but it is the best turning mod-vp style boat I have ever driven. Expect speeds of 80+ mph in race setup with 200hp hanging off the transom (1 - 1 1/4 mile course).
