Welcome Sugarsand gary,you found a great forum. What engine ya got in your Mirage? You will get used to the steering in a couple of hours use than won't even think about it. Don't know where you boat, put your location in your profile so it shows up, but I have only had one memorable clog in mine since I bought it in 03 . I run rivers, if your on a weedy lake it could be another story.:D Oh ya like eggwhite93 says above only thing we like better than a pic is more pics.

One other thing, if you really don't like the steering I believe Cobra Jet Steering LLC ,a member here, makes steering fins for the sportjet.
