Year: 1990
Make: Mirage
Model:Mirage 257 trovare
Length: 25'7"
Engine: Twin 6.2 MPI's [ 377 cu ]
Propulsion: Bravo 1X's
Prop: Bravo 1 26P
Top speed: 76 MPH with one person, on low fuel
Pros: Practical length for ease of towing, and pretty good on fuel with twin small blocks, between 7-8 gal/hr per engine @ around 40 mph.
Cons:Not big enough,LOL

Overall: Great boat.
I boat mostly around Vancouver, ocean, river and lakes and the Okanagan region on occasions. Boat has a true 24* deadrise to handle ocean swells, runs in any kind of water on the river or lakes.

You have the cleanest Mirage I have seen in the PNW. IIRC, that boat has a nice history as far as repowers, once had diesel engines? One of my buddies in the early 90's was related to some one at Mirage and I was recruited to drive a 25'? for a flyer photo shoot with UW Husky cheerleaders. Still have a couple of those laying around some where. Those boats were perfect for the PNW.

Yes, this is the Mirage with diesels in the past. History of it, my boat was built for the owner of Mirage boats
and was on a magazine cover.I'd love to have that magazine if there's one laying around.
Thanks for the comments.
