looking for 22'

[TORYSMINX]

I think I am looking for a 22'project over the winter and I was wondering if any of you know of a 22' between the years of 1985-88 94-present that is for sale? I would like to keep it under 15k but i know that it may be a prayer. When I mean under 15k that is for the ones pre-1989.

I have looked on trader, abl and fwboats.com with no luck. Any help would be great.

Thanks
Tory

Thanks Bryan

The thing that i am trying to avoid is the OMC setup. I am looking for ideally is a 22 with either an alpha or a bravo. I have this killer small block in the minx right now and i think i am going to run out of hull length. Bravo would be nice but it is short money that I want to pay for a classic.

I like the idea of the years of 85-87.

Thanks for all the great help with my posts

Tory, check out www.jacksonmarinesales.com (http://www.jacksonmarinesales.com) , they had a solid teal 22 Classic, I believe it was a 1990, for roughly $14k, it had a 460 Ford in it,a not so great looking "cobra" drive(not a King Cobra), the hull looked to be in good shape...but hey it's a project right?...Good Luck, I might have some pics if you're interested. Givem a call at 410-287-9400, let me know...Doc ;)

Hey Tory...

You been listening to that Sykes character?? He owns a Criterion with an outdated Feulie system that doesn't run! What does he know?? Just kidding Bob! I would not worry about running out of hull, the difference between your 20' Minx (BTW we saw a gorgeous red one up at Lake George) and a 22 Classic is negligible. I was holding the radar gun when GEOO went 95.2mph in an X-18! You will not run out of hull, but you might want to get a set of tabs if you don't have them already. You need to get yourself a Bravo 1 and a new Bravo gimbal. they are pretty reasonable on e-bay, probably about 5K for the setup, but you can offset that by selling your Alpha setup. An Alpha to Bravo conversion is pretty easy, and I am sure the guru's on this board will be able to point you in the right direction. BTW, I would keep the Minx as I think they look sharp and there are not alot of them out there!

That sykes dude is down at my house every weekend at cocktail time drinking my beer and talking about his setup that ran twice awesome. Just kidding BOB, anyways I think we should try to make a last season run up at winni. I want to see what this thing will do wide open and winni looks like the place.

I will tell you Bob's boat looks great but I think he should just throw a carb setup and go from there. whats going on with your rig? I heard through the grapevine like a whipple or something? If you want to build that 454 I have a guy in mind for you. I think your ride is fine and I may just through a set of stainless exhuast on it and go from there. That is just a possibilty.
Shoot me an email soon about a winni get together
