    Three Choices..?

    Looking for some insight on a Minx, 22 Classic or a Hornet III.
    In the market for a Donzi and want to make sure I'm getting a good deal, but more importantly a GREAT boat! Not necessarily in a hurry, but if the right boat and deal pass by I want in!
    Anyone know anything about the following three?
    All showed up on the Miami CL.
    https://miami.craigslist.org/mdc/boa...480586478.html - 1988 Minx
    https://miami.craigslist.org/pbc/boa...486662860.html - 1984 Hornet III
    https://miami.craigslist.org/brw/boa...449576474.html - 1993 22 Classic

    cant post pictures to this post for some reason... I'll try again later on a different computer

    Cool

    Tough choices! Having had a 16 & a 22 I have a little feel for all of them, I have always had the hots for a Minx plus fresh water adds a bit. The 22 looks like a darn good deal nice clean boat. The Hornet is way cool and some added value due to its rarity> Good luck racking your brain!

    That’s a great looking boat. How come no one has jumped on it since 2013?
    You’ve peaked my interest, but I’m in South FL!..
    One owner all numbers match all original except for small upgrades? How many total hours?

    Tim's Minx runs flawlessly. It is worth the trip.

    There's always another choice out there...

    Nice finds Greg. Personally I would have gone for the Hornet out of the three. It was restored 5 years ago and it looks like the current owner did more upgrades.

    However Tim's Minx looks like it's in a whole different league. Tremendous value there in his Minx, always liked the look of them and folks that own them, and had

    other Donzi classics, swear by them as far as how they handle. I just really like their looks and in addition I have a very weak spot for the ones with the stainless

    steel Besenzoni windshield. Link to the 5-year-old ad for the 1984 Hornet:
