Hello fellow Sugar Sand Owners!
Since all we can do here now in the Winter Wonderland State is dream of and talk about boating, I’m wondering if there’s any interest in me posting a rather long entry (or series of entries) on my experience with buying a rather neglected 2004 Sugar Sand Mirage and fixing it up over the course of a year or so. This story came about as I compiled the weekly reports I sent to a friend into a single narrative that I titled “When Nice Boats Go Bad.” Fellow Sugar Sand owners (and jet boaters in general) might learn something, see something of interest, or at least find something mildly entertaining. So it’s up to you. Do you want to read a story?

Thanks for the encouragement, but most of all, thanks for the tip to includes pics. You are 100% correct - pics make a story better.

Hi Bruce! As an Admin, perhaps you can do us Sugar Sand owners a favor. When creating an account, my only choice was Sugar "Sands" and for 18 feet, my only choice was "Other." Ouch!

@Julian, could you take a look at the mode options for Sugar Sand and remove that trailing s?

@Chuck Buck, thanks for letting us know. What model is your boat? We generally have added models as members joined and asked.

Removed the trailing S!

I also did some quick research and added a number of Sugar Sand model names: Tango, Calais, Mirage, Oasis
