do you wipe his nose for him too... let the man say what he meant... 
its all in what your looking for, what works for one may not work for another.. i think a little different than others.. i dont shy away from older boats, i dont shy away from non merc boats, if it right its right... i get it that people think that its easier to sell a stock boat, a stock boat is easier in general.. that does not go for me... there are just as many stock rigs that are junk that are with aftermarket power... the one thing that you all must remeber... after teh first rebuild and if merc did not rebuild it, its really not a merc anymore... so food for thought...
tank is a homo i think we can all still agree on that....

The Cafe is an AWESOME BOAT - but man would I like a step bottom, its like getting an extra 300 HP per engine. Spoke to Tim at Cigarette last March - he will point you in the hull direction and save you a TON of GAS.
Dr.stecz - put a gun to the new owners back, this site is dog-@ss slow again, so I have a problem, can you help us fix it. Your the man right, do something fearless leader

Hey Dave...I really love the Cafe that I bought from you last year. I have had 3 local offers on it already. I'm not selling, but it's nice to know that it is desireable. How is it going with you? Find a boat yet ? You must be climbing the walls. Maybe this summer you can come down & we can take a day trip on the Cafe. It all depends on my health. You know the story. Got one more surgery coming up in the near future. Take care. Hope you find your perfect boat soon.
to be honest these two boats are what im about right now.... if fat boy is really on the market the timing couldnt be worse... well see......

I can tell you that there is one carbin 70 out there somewhere thats got a screw or two loose. A friend bought on in 92 and we had her out on a real nasty day on the great lakes. Took a series of waves at a 1/4 beam and she twisted so hard that ten feet of screws along the starboard rub rail EJECTED from the hull and about 4 feet on the port. Surprised the heck out of us when we surveyed the damage layer. Cracked a bulkhead loose so I guess thats why she twisted.
