I've been looking at that boat for months (probably close to 6 months). It does not have a blackhawk drive. I kept waiting for the price to come down, or for them to put a blackhawk drive on it.... The guy claims that the boat did not work with the blackhawk drive, and that the boat wouldn't even get on plane, but I *think* the owner just didn't like it and had it swapped out for a bravo. For some reason it just doesn't seem right (to me) to have a blackhawk edition boat without the drive to go with it.:bonk:

I will say it looks like one of the cleanest used boats out there...

Anyway, I finally made a move on a Minx and let this one be... here is one of the old auctions on eBay:

they only made the 24 for a couple years i think,,noy a good seller and it was not a good design...fountain had to install a ballast in the nose of the boat so it could get on plane,with out it it took forever..

The reason for the ballast tank was for skiing and wakeboarding, which was actually ahead of its time.

The reason for the short run is the ability to make much more bucks on a 42 than a 24 in the production sequence.

I drove the boat many times and it was pretty cool. Can't speak for the BH combo.
