Hey Mike, did you bring a boat yesterday? Next time stop by and say hi. Are you talking about the yellow one?

Mirages Boats built in Texas were build by Brad Collins ONLY in Kaufman , Texas and in my opinion ( as I was sponcered by Brad drag racing for several years, 1993-1995 and won several World and High Points Modified Production titles with them ) are a very good and fast hull ( if indeed built by Collins ). As far as the years built there they were built from conception to around 1999-2000 or so. Not sure of the exact dates as I was out of racing when Brad sold out moved up North and I lost track ..........

Good luck,

Mine is a Collins/TX boat, and I'm trying to make it a very fast hull:D:D

yeah i'm talking about the yellow boat. i thought it was very pretty. ran pretty stout too. no i didn't bring a boat. don't have that type of boat yet. i got a stratos mod vp that is just like all the rest of these boats. floor was soft and wet foam. got the floor torn out just got to make myself fix it up. the exterior of the hull looks just about new.

Was the transfer year. My '98 RR was a Texas boat and Parkers '98 RR was a Florida boat. Mike
