Hi folks,

I just bought this 1973 14' Mirrocraft from a third-party, who acquired it from the estate of a fellow who passed away earlier this year. Out of respect for the man who owned and cared for it for 36 years (since new), I'd like to know what Mirrocraft model name this is and what other history might be available for it. It came complete with a 1973 9.5 HP Johnson Sea-Horse motor. Maximum horsepower rating on the boat is 25 HP, the model number shown on the "Coast Guard" certification tag is F-3604 (which I haven't been able to correlate to any model 'name'), and the boat serial number (obtained from what's left of an old insurance document) is MRR05423M731-04 (would you know where this number would be displayed on the boat itself? I don't see it on the Coast Guard tag or anywhere else on the boat).

Maximum Persons allowed is 4, and Maximum Persons Capacity is 600 pounds. Maximum weight capacity is 960 pounds.

What a great boat. It's very stable and has no leaks. When we took it out yesterday my son and I caught a Kokanee five minutes after we threw the hook into the water!


Thanks in advance if you're interested,

Hmmm, looks a lot like the 14 foot mirrocraft that i have a 40 hp johnson on the back of. Same color and everything. The max hp and weight plate on mine is damaged so i can't see the max hp, but i can read the max weight. I'll have to check what mine says for the weight when it comes out of storage next year. Mine runs great with a 40, it's been on there for 20+ years, it'd be funny to find the max is only 25. I don't know anything about mine either. My grandpa bought it back when it was nearly new, and now i've been using it. It's a great boat.

I have an identical 1976 model of this boat. In case you didn't get what you were looking for, it is called a "14 Resort".
