Hey matt,
What did you think of Dave Tweeds donzi?
I looked at adoption possibilities but had to pass.You need three things with this project,Time,patience and cash!I hope to aquire Minx or just bite the bullet and grab a blackhawk.I think the boat could be negotiated at a good number.

okay sorry it took so long,
you know the hangover seems to take longer to get over each new year.
MBE here's what I think about this boat it is a prime candidate for a refurb, deck, hull and grab rail all seem solid, it has all the parts to get it running with some elbow grease, when the boat was running it was kept on a lift, the price is objective I guess, people have different feelings on what it may be worth. here are a couple more pics of the boat, will need paint for sure.

Were to seats for the 18' 68 there and what shape were they in. The paint looks pretty bad.
