For approx the same amount of money, which would you want to buy: an 1984 38' flat deck with 502's vs. 1987 Cafe Racer with 454's vs. 1988 Bullet with 454's? Which would be most desirarble in your opinion and why?
Thanks

Give me some good details on the flat deck vs the cafe racer.

[OldSchool]

All things being equal (condition and power), I would have to say the Cafe'. But more info is needed to give good advice. I own a Bullet and that's what I bought because it was what I could afford. A Cafe' in the same condition as my Bullet is 15-20K more expensive. I know a few people who had a heck of a hard time selling their Flat Decks. They were very nice upgraded boats, but the potential buyer pool is alot smaller.

Are you planning on keeping the boat for a long time, or just a few years?

Do you have the ability to work on these boats yourself?

Do you have a tow vehicle to pull one of these lead sleds?

Have you checked on insurance?

Any of the boats are a good choice...it's a Cigarette!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have had both TG'S and a Cafe. [SIZE=3]Cafe' hands down![/SIZE]

One thing to always understand about a Cig, the bigger the power the better the ride.

why a cafe over a TG??? I have heard stories about the CAFE porpoise issue.
Is this a true statement or a myth. Trying to get info because I'm buying a Top Gun next year, so some info would be helpful. It will be a used one between a 90 to 96 model. I did look at Cafe's but the price is about the same for both.

Thanks
