I may be buying one tomorrow. Can anyone tell me about a 90 miragr SR ? Did they have any problems ? What to look for when buying one? Fast or not? Is it a Brad Collins boat?
Thanks

Are you sure it's really a Ski-racer? Brad Collins DID build them but not sure if it was labeled a Ski-racer in 90. They had the Wild-cat and River-Racer I believe but I'm recalling the true Ski-Racer didn't come along until the early 90's. I'm not 100% on this though. It IS FAST!!

If its a 1990 it is a Collins boat, a ski racer would have been a wider cockpit 4 seater, 2 buckets up front. As far as what to check well its the same as any used boat, transom, floor for soft spots use a rubber mallets and tap for spots that sound different especially the bottom. The 4 seaters where usually heavier, in the 650-750 range which actually make s a better river or lake boat than a 450# boat
