Surveyor's notes: A good design with generous accommodation, this inland variation of the sea-going Mirage is a popular used boat. one or two points to watch for: damage to the skeg, which may interfere with the operation of the rudder; leaks around the windows; and the condition of shaft and seals sterntube greasers were quite difficult to get at and may not have been greased as regularly as they should have been.
