Default Just picked up a Donzi Minx!!

Well I finally got myself a go fast boat. I figured this would be a good boat to start with and it's pretty mint for being an '88. It's 1 of only 5 testarossa editions made for this model, and it's in great shape. It's 100% original including the interior. Only one small tear on the back seat ....not bad for an 88.
It does have a few areas that are starting to fade but with a day spent buffing it should look like new.

These hulls respond very well to extra HP and proper set-up.

Congrats on a great buy! I am not a red person, but the Tesy Minx is one I would own in a heartbeat. Has the nice windshield also. Was this the NY one?

this boat has the original 350 magnum 270hp motor and alpha outdrive. I only took it up to 55 on the test drive, but that was nowhere near full throttle. Guy said he had it around 60-65

I found it on the local craigslist here in NC about 2hrs from me but only 30 min from my parents house. I'm the 3rd owner, with the first keeping it on a lift in lake gaston, second in raleigh using it on falls lake, and now I have it in wilmington and will be using it on the cape fear river and the ICW.
Lucky for me I was local, as everybody else that was interested was apparently out of state either in NY or FL.
