I did look at the name, but cant remember it, I zoomed in on the pic and it looks like "mimosa" but I found nothing on the internet on that.

I'll let you know tonight from work.

Well boys, it don't look good.

The brand is "Mimsa", I can't find any info on them.

The Fla. registration comes back to a 2003 23 Panga registered to the Panga Corp.

The trailer is also registered to the Panga Corp.

The seller said that the boat belonged to a guy who rented storage space from the seller, the owner died and his daughter said she didn't want the boat.

Oh, and the best part, there is NO hull serial number on the boat that I can find.

Even if it is not stolen, you would have a hard time registering it legally.

Plus, the floor is mostly soft all over and the transom doesn't sound like its solid all over.

Anyone still interested?

Do a Yahoo search on MIMSA boats and it'll come up. Click on the icon with the American flag and it'll show up in English. Rman, does that boat look like a 23'? It only has a 6' beam. Made in Merida, Mexico.

It probably is a 23 after looking at it again...the console must be from something else, its not fastened down.

AHHH....

Having looked at the pics of the 23, that is what it is. I sent them an email to see if they can help out with where I might find a serial number on the boat.

you might be able to get some info from panga. did the seller have a title?

#19 07-01-2007, 09:22 AM

I'm not sure that the seller has any standing in the boat at all. He has no paperwork.

I am thinking that maybe the "Panga Boat Corp" may have imported this boat in 2003.

There is no telling when the boat was actually built.

At any rate, if you buy this boat you are buying trouble.

It's like they say, "If it sounds too good to be true, it's probably too good to be true". You're probably right about the console. They (MIMSA) go from 17' to 23', not a 186 (18'6").
