To answer your question, the carbon fiber cafe 70s were to do 70 mph from the factory and had some carbon fiber in he hull to lighten them up. Unlike the Kevlar boats which I've been told only have kev in the engine compartment ( per cb). Cafe's are awesome machines but let me tell you this...do your homework before you buy. I looked at a carbon 70 before I ended up buying a standard bottom tg.

And I think all dreamer is saying is for 30k more you can have a twin step that will hold its value better than a straight bottom...may be an option

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....
