    minx in south Jersey

    Does anyone know the history of this boat? seems it's changed owners in the past quite frequently,and been ridden hard-now for sale again with a blown motor and lots of work needed.
    Was considering it but not for the 4.5K asking price and it's changing owners.Is there a hidden problem no one is owning up to?? Any input appreciated.

    Needs windshield , motor and the floor looks to be cracked and half ass repaired. That's probably a fair price considering it's all original gel. And If all the motor needs is a head gasket! The windshield could possibly be converted to an aluminum wind screen. The hard fix is the floor, as It looks like it might need the deck off to repair it properly. It's hard to really tell unless you see it in person.



    machinist ,bore it deeper,ream it bigger, and lap it to a fine finish

    I just made a deal with Bob to buy that boat. Sure is a project boat but it should be well worth it when its done.

    I saw it when it was for sale a while ago... It's a project for sure and I see a new gastank in your future... Best of luck!

    Thanks Buddy, I figured that I just weld a new one together for it. Id like to go a little larger if room permits. For the price Im paying its well worth it to me.

    Steve, the standard tank is 42 gallons, and w/o changing anything, I increased the volume ay about 5 gallons by raising the top by 1".
