What is your opinion of a BBC in a Minx? Will it be too stern heavy? I know where I can get a good deal on a 454 mag/365 horse. I am aware that a Bravo drive will be in order. The engine compartment looks like room wouldn't be an issue.

Joe,

You'll need to talk with Paulo here in Miami... he's in the finnishing stages of his 454/Bravo installation in his 1986 Minx. Call me and I'll get you his phone number and email address.

Making room in the hangar for bigger & faster things!

Hey Dale, what are you doing on the board? I thought you were done with the boating scene. :) Kinda hard to get it out of your blood isn't it? :) I got the pics of your new bird, looks great. Looking forward to seeing you fly in Oct.

Cuda,
I wouldn't hesitate, go for it!

I've seen BBC's in 18 Classics...

We'll be at Shell Island Sunday, you?

Nate, we'll be out at Egmont with the Opba. Which side of Shell Island? We will put in at Ft Desoto.

Oops, I just read that it's Sunday you will be there. We will be at Egmont today. Hopefully, we will be out again tomorrow.

I looked at a BB Minx in Alabama... Honey and Blue w/ a Teak Swim Platform. Good lookin' boat.

Had a fresh Alpha on it. Knowing what I know now about Alphas, I'm glad I didn't spring for it.
