Research 2012 - Maverick Boats - Mirage 17 HPX-T

With its unique tunnel hull configuration and elevated engine mounting, the 17 Mirage HPX Tunnel runs, floats and poles in water too shallow from most game fish. This boat is designed for anglers that run long distances, fish and have to "get up and run" in extremely shallow water. Unlike many competitive boats that are so-called "super shallow" in part because they are underpowered, the 17 Mirage HPX Tunnel has the range and power to actually get you there, quickly and in comfort.
