By the time I got to the last pic, I was guessing 10-12 hours, tops. Very impressive to say the least.

I had the pleasure of getting up close and personal with Jim's Mon & Dad and the Minx. This one is a little more then special, some may remember this was BUIZILLA's boat it was a Gem then and has not changed one bit. As far as I know it has been babied for a very long time, it has its own private out of the sun parking spot. The Black/White Minx Is a rare combo, if you want something very nice and unique GO Get It!!!!

This may be the best original Minx in existance. It has none of the ****pit floor issues that plague these boats.

Normally pictures do not do justice but believe it or not these come close. I do agree it looks like it was just taken off the showroom in 1987 to let the new owners get some drive time in the seat. i have only been to one event with it around but I dreamed of it when it was for sale the last time. This is the best one in the country even though I have not seen them all, I cannot see how there would be one close. Drooling big time, Good Luck, Tom

" IF " I had known this was available a few months ago I would have done a few things differently. :yes: Like NOT had an aluminum ($12K when all is said and done) boat built. Sold one other, and then ...

that thing would be sitting beside the other LE of Jims' ...

:(

Damn

That thing is beautiful :yes:

Lenny, We have captured the triple crown of Testa Rosa's,we think you go that route with the LE's. The neatest thing about this like new LE minx is it is a Buizilla Boat also. It is as close to brand new as I have ever seen except for your 18. They are dead even. They deserve to be together again. Hope all yours & your are doing well. Tom

It would be nice to know where it is and I am sure I can find you something down the road that we could do some trading on. Orange Crush or Something? Hmmmm! Or keep it till Lenny is ready for it. I want to find a 22 LE but you know the LE Minx is my favorite boat. Course I have a dozen favorites, but I truly think it is the very top. I should be bringing our old LE Minx down here from decatur soon. I an going to need that pesky windshield. Wonder if the 22 windshield with the eye lashes would work until I can find an original one. Do you know of anyone that can still make that windshield without it costing 5k? Tom

PS Orange Crush is supposed to be coming in today. Can't wait! T

Jim, can you elaborate? Where is it going and is it going to some one we know, or a member?

That is one beautiful boat.

The Minx will be going to Holland, Michigan, but will be staying at my dad's place until it warms up a bit.
