1985 Mirage 25 — Chilly Willy II
Asking Price: $18,000 — Trailer Included Located at Pelican Lake, Ninette, MB (212 km southwest of Winnipeg)
Overview
Chilly Willy II is a well-equipped and lovingly maintained 1985 Mirage 25 — a proven MORC racer with a winning record on Lake of the Woods. Since her acquisition in 2001 at Northern Harbour, she has been gently sailed and minimally trailered, spending her seasons on Pelican Lake under careful ownership.
