For a while we, too, had one, also from Goodhue, and it was indeed fun to drive. We got it for the kids, but on the first day we got a visit from a patrol boat, who told us the kids couldn't operate it. They claimed that they were informed in a meeting at the start of that year that it's length put it under the jetski law, which I think covered anything under 13'-0". After he left, I got a tape measure, found it to be just 13'-0" and thus ok as a "boat." I called, the patrol boat came back, and together we remeasured. He agreed to initial the registration change in length (the advertising had the length as I think 12'-8", which was wrong). Two days later my son and I were stopped again, by a different officer.
The minihawk has the two seats down at water level, so the sensation of speed is enhanced. The deep-V hull does slice nicely through light chop, and it generally handles well. However, the operator does need to keep its length and shape in mind. Shortly after we sold it, I watched the new owner roll it over. He had tried to quarter a rather large boat wake at the wrong speed.
I did a quick google on "minihawk boat," and there are plenty of pictures and videos to be seen out there.
