:yes: I saw this. Other than mine, it is the only other 20 I've seen that has the Volvo setup.

It would be an easier project the 2nd time around.........but I'll pass:bonk:

General question. What is the normal selling price for one of these? I hav ealways like them...i have a good buddy that has been looking to build a hotrod 18-22 Donzi, but might be interested in this thing. I like them alot. just not sure what going proces have been for them before i start bidding..

Thanks

[smoothie]

Normal selling price for one in decent original condition is between $12,000-$18,000.something like this maybe $4,000 max and thats if you really want one.

[Andy McCarty]

Thanks Smoothie. It would be an interesting rebuild. Is the hull design the same as the Minx?

Thanks

[Andy McCarty]

You guys always amaze me. That is why i look at this site every day. I want a small boat to play with. I have a partner that wants one also. I have never bought anything off of ebay. I have someone that can do the bidding for me.

I too like the storage infront of the windscreen. I like the cigs and the history. I just like the donzi's much more. I just dont know if i want to build one or buy someone elses already built. Ted, Mr. X knows this. I have had him inside out quoting on his X-18. That is going to be a bad boat when he is done. I just plan ol can't make up my mind...

Sorry again Ted...

Hmm, I've just about finished putting this 350 back together, that I don't have a boat for. :)
Nah, I've sworn off projects.
Andy, I've got a Minx for sale.:)

Smoothie and I both had our boats at AOTH last year.
His (Cig) is broader in the beam at the transom and can easily handle the weight of a BBC.
My Minx's beam, on the other hand, tapers inward toward the transom, and would carry less displacement in the stern.
Similar dimensions and bottoms, but radically different otherwise.
I would consider selling my Minx (for the right price) and taking on a project like this.

matty,

i tried to buy that yellow boat in south jersey a couple of years ago. it needed stringers and everything...the guy wouldn't budge...and supposedly got 3k for it on ebay.

i ended up buying another one this winter in northern NJ. It's a basket case and i paid way too much ($3600), but I had to have one... I wonder where that yaller boat ended up...

:)

[big bore]

the boat was never in nj it came from fl and spent the last 5 years or so in boston and he owend it sens the late 70s
