I've been on them and spent time talking with the comany owwer/builder. VERY thoughtful lay-out, very little wasted space and they're built like brick sh1thouses. Not my cuppa tea, but a damm fine boat, pretty fast and efficient, esp with the Volvo diesels in it...

Fished a 32 CC for five years and it was an awesome boat. Twin Volvos pushed her along at 32 and burned a little over 2mpg! Some issues. The gelcoat color faded the first year and the motors and batteries were packed into the bilge making service a nightmare. The oil pans also sat in about an inch of bilge water causing them to corrode after about 2 years. Motors had to be pulled and new pans put in. Huge deck for fishing, a little light in the bow. Boat needed larger tabs to get the bow down for a better ride in rough seas. I see they added a railing to the gunwale in the back. Has a low freeboard, great for gaffing, realeasing, etc. but a bit dangerous for fighting a fish in rough seas. All in all one of my favorite boats ever to fish from. Love the pilot house model. The CC had a huge "cabin" below decks but it felt like being in a dungeon. Good luck and enjoy.

I love the 32 mirage, this would be the boat I would own if I had the money. Perfect for the northeast. You can pretty much build them how you want them, I priced one out, for daydreaming purposes, with all the options I would want to set it up for giant tuna, half tower w/ controls, outriggers, swivel rod holders, livewells, twin volvo diesels plus other things and it came to $142,000. A bargain to say the least if you ask me.

Never seen one like that.....just CC's. Lets see more.
I like that one.
And if so at $142K, I'd take that over a outrageously expensive to own and run cuban penis extender, any day!
