Show yer Mirrocraft..............or just tell about it

[Throbbin Rods]

No Title

Finally getting around to posting some pictures of the project
I removed the three front tank seats, installed a doubled up marine plywood floor, threw together a wooden console to mount the steering console on. I then put two coats of Durabak on the floor in OD green. Installed a 50 hp Johnson on the new transom, installed a new push/pull steering cable in place of the cable and pulley system. Put in a set of controls and a nice captain's chair. Made a hinged plywood cover to go over the area from the transom to the first tank seat. Installed a 12 gallon gas tank. Mounted two folding seats on the remaining tank seat. Made a plywwood gun box and mounted it to the gunwale on the port side.
New bow eye, new stern eyes. New navigation lights mounted. Remote control spot light mounted. GPS/Fishfinder mounted. Sliding mount for transducer mounted.
made up some rectangular frames out of Schedule 80 1" PVC, installed some old pieces of fast grass, mounted to one side of blind top with loose zip ties. Flip up top!
Took a little longer than I expected, ended up having surgery on the busted wrist and lost a few weeks . All in all I am very happy with the finished project. Come spring I will remove the blind, mount the electric down riggers and rod holders and start fishing for trout and salmon

Well looks like this Mirrocraft section has been quiet for a long time. Anyone around? I just finished a deal to bring home a New last years model Mirrocraft 1766 Dual Impact. going from a 40 year old center console to a brand new fish and ski ! I won't take possession of the boat until Spring due to it being 12 hours away and well the current state of things. I will post some pictures or maybe even a video once it's home and ready to go. Does anyone have experience with the late model 1766? It has been changed for 2021, it's now a F176 so I was able to get a great deal on last years model.

No bells and whistles, vinyl flooring for easy cleaning, added a swim platform for the wife and kids, and paired it with a Suzuki DF90A.

Well that's it for now, Can't wait to get back on the water. Until next time be safe everyone.

This is my Dad's Mirro Cruiser 216 originally with a Ford 302 2v and a mercruiser 888. He bought it in 1996 and took it to the ocean and a few local lakes in California. It sat in my backyard for 16 years before i got interested in fixing it up and taking it back on the water. The engine rusted out so I swapped in a Ford 302 4V with a closed cooling system. Gel coat. Has been touched up, lots of broken parts replaced, and a new instrument panel with fuel flow. She should be ready to go by 31may2021 for Lake Mead.

Bought this and it's registered as a 1986 MirroCraft but I found a number stamped into the metal on the port side of the hull. That prompted me to email someone at MirroCraft and she sent me a catalog from 1965. After looking at the pictures, I've determined that I have a 1965 Topper 12. Can anyone confirm this? I'll post a picture of the number.

We bought a 13.5 ft mirrocraft boat with no real info so i stripped it down from the most godawful paint and repainted it and i started to rrally get interested in it..i found the HID which was in the lower left rear and the capacity plate and i emailed mirrocraft and they said the numbers on go to i which was 1968 and sent me copies of brochures from 68'-73' in the 1968 brochure it shows a 14 ft lapstrake "RESORT BOAT14" that is the same model we have although they look like they made them for many years, but the motor on that biatvis and evinrude and the pic looks exactly like the one on our boat and it is a 1968 evinrude fastwin..i emailed them back and asked if the boats came with those motors and could this be the original motor but havent heard back yet...does anyone know if they came with these motors?

Re: Show yer Mirrocraft..............or just tell about it

Within the last couple of weeks I ran accross this Mirrocraft boat that I could not turn down. The previous owners registration shows it as a 1959 and 15 feet long. It has a Johnson 35hp Super Seahorse motor on it. I have the cover for the motor but have it off in the picture. There were alot of wasp nests and rats nests in the lower unit to clean out.

Can anyone tell me where I would find an ID plate for serial #, model #, etc. I would love to know more about this boat. I will post better pictures later.

Thanks!!

I just purchased THIS BOAT! Any info on it would be appreciated. D24-1651-56 is stamped on the outer left transom. Indicates to me it is a '64, but if previously registered as a '59 I have to be suspicious of that. I got no papers on this transaction. Still has the SuperSeaHorse 35 Johnson. Bought in KS, still in KS.
Thanks All,
Tom

The 1966 boat I picked up had a stamped HIN and a data tag with different info. The boat id (F32) was the same and correct for 1966 but different serial numbers. Maybe a mistake at the factory or the transom board was swapped with the data tag. If you have photos the original tag it can be duplicated. Albeit some-what pricey it helped me out to have the two HIN locations in agreement.
MirroCraft did not have alot of info but in some cases they may have a copy of the original sales brochure. They provided a pdf copy to me of the 1966 models at no charge.

My 1964 14' Family Runabout Mirrocraft has numbers stamped on the left side of stern. And thank you. This is first color pic I've seen of possibly original upholstery.

I just picked up my 1964 14' Family Runabout last week. Only thing I'm going to do is add controls for my 1958 35hp Johnson Electric Start Sea Horse, seat backs and upholstery. It's in really good shape. Does anyone know the original two tone upholstery seat backs. I'm imagining the top of seats a turquoise color.
