I think it may be a little underpowered for my taste too.

Clay,
If you are planning on staying at Lake Travis, the Cafe is more than enough boat. Plenty of cockpit and deck space for the "honeys" and a nice cabin for that special lady in your life. The Flat Deck is an older boat and will require lots of maintenance mechanically. It is too much boat for that lake, not worth the maintenance hassle. That is the reason my boat is not on that lake anymore; the owner felt overkill and wanted a smaller boat. Remember us, you let us by at the ramp last August. Good luck in your purchase.

I think you need to buy the high maintenance boat! 
LOL. I'll be doing the work on it. Seriously Clay, since you don't do any mechanical work I'd look closely at the power & drives in whatever boat you get. You could easily end up putting another 20 grand into repairing stuff. Not that I don't want the work, but you're my friend so take the maitenance seriously on an older boat.
