It has a Volvo KAD300 diesel coupled to a douprop counter rotating I/O. (Yeah, I know I hate I/O's too but the efficiency of this set-up is so great I had to consider it..besides I plan to purchase a spare drive as a backup)
Work to do...like any boat there is always something to do. But in my case I have bunch of electrical upgrade issues I want to tackle. A lot of stuff does not work like it is suppose to. This doesn't sound like much but trust me it will take me the better part of two seasons to make the boat "mine" and what I would consider offshore ready. The good news is I should be able to use the boat as is and work on it as I go. It only has 240 hours on it and never fished. This was the boat that was dragged around to all the shows.
One thing I want to do this year is replace the existing door and cut a new door on the port side and install freeman marine pilothouse doors. What they have there works but is kind of weak, the freeman doors are serious equipment. All other Mirage PH's I have seen have two doors so the PH can take cut.
I also have a long list of things I "want" (goodies) to do it but may take me a while to do it. Like pimping it out with some underwater LED's, an on-board salt water pressure washer
But I do plan to put a high end fish finder on it this season and put a bunch of grab rails in spots that need them asap...as well as some serious safety equipment. The neglected general maintenance alone will keep me busy.
