March 1, 2006: With some regret, Mirage Manufacturing announces a temporary halt to production of its sportfish line. Over the past 18 years, Mirage has built nearly 70 of the 29- and 32-foot boats. According to Ken Fickett, president of Mirage Manufacturing, the reason for the halt in production is twofold. The principal reason is that a boom in its trawler yacht sales have stretched the company’s human resources to the point that it would be difficult to maintain our record for timely deliveries, bearing in mind that all Mirage boats are built to order. Secondly, the 32 is essentially the same boat we brought to market in 1988, and we felt it was time that the vessel underwent a restyling. Mirage’s intention is update the boat’s highly successful hull with a redesigned console and deck, then reintroduce the boat at a later date. Meanwhile, we will keep the sportfish web pages on line to support our existing customers and buyers in the market for a used boat. To paraphrase the Governor of California, We’ll be back. |
