MINX 18V
MINX 18V
Hey I am new to the hydrostream seen and just bought a 84 v-king. During my search for a windshield I came across the Minx 18V (http://www.minxpowerboats.com) and wanted to know the story behind this boat. It looks very similar to the V-King.

Re: MINX 18V
I have never seen one in person and have herd from one person they are nice and another the build quality is poor. I would defiantly want to see one in person before I bought one.

Re: MINX 18V
There was a huge thread on S&F about this. I will see if I can dig it up and post the link here.

Re: MINX 18V
As far as the original build quality, what kind of shape is a 20-30 year old glastron in? And how many are in the scrap pile. We dig our own graves with these boats they are old and we still love them.ccrick wrote:I haven't heard if anyone has checked one out? I hope the quality is better than the originals! lol

Re: MINX 18V
Just if anybody was curious I emailed them and asked if it was the original Viking mold and asked what price would be minus motor. This is what they replied with. -Chad
"Yes, this is the same as the V-King.
MSRP for a boat with rubrail, windshield, and carpet only is $6,000
MSRP for a boat with full interior and controls is $8,200.
A trailer will vary by dealer, about $1,200 - $1,500.

I'm not afraid of going fast! It's the crashing and burning that sucks!
