anyone seen these boats called a minx out of florida. website http://www.minxpowerboats.com check em out.

There is a few threads over at S&F on these. Also if you look in the ebay listings here you will see they have 2 of them on ebay for under $5K with no power. I think they are the only 2 hulls they ever made. They are actually out of NY or they were at least.

im going to give them a call and see if u can get windshields and the molding around the outside.

drove out to Allentown, PA three weeks ago in my year long quest for my Valero. Wasn't "the one" but it is a family marina for 56 years...sold Hydrostreams in the day and kids raced them. He said he just ordered two Minx's but they come out of the factory completely unrigged. Dinbokowitz Marine.

I wonder how the quality is on them?

Ok, I'm really curious myself now. The Minx is too small for my family so I didn't really follow up. I will find out when they're coming in and take a look. I live a couple hours away but get close to that area for business...long lunch hour.
Former Hydrostream dealer...the owner is extremely knowledgable and a great guy, 56 yrs in the business! He was in a motorized wheelchair and led me through the marina to look at a Valero. Told me a story about his canoe getting crushed by a canal boat, forgot to take it out of the canal at night. This is circa 1920s.
Two mule power to selling Hydros. Can you imagine?

Hey billyho let us know what you find out about the parts, I'm doing a winter restore and this could come in handy.

Here is a link to the marina that had two Minx on order when I last spoke to them. Former Hydrostream dealer also...may be useful.
