Can someone help me identify what year and model boat this is. Just got it and am going crazy trying to find out. No serial numbers that I can find anywhere. TIA!

Another forum user recently inquired about the same model. Here is my response to that inquiry:

It is the predecessor to the Oasis, just called the “Mirage Tandem” at the time. It is a great kayak. The only thing I didn’t like is the sailing mast receiver is under the front seat so you could really only use the sail kit solo.

You can read more about it here at the wayback machine:
