I guess I should add that 90% of the time I go to the river (20 minutes away), and then about 3 times a year I go to LOTO (2 hours away). But hell I've never towed a Cafe so I don't know

What is the facebook link again for power boats for sale?
Also, not sure what the cafe weighs, but the burb would handle it I would guess. Might need an aluminum trailer.
This summer I pulled our 32' TT from Indiana through Yellowstone with the Burb. Total weight was 17,500 to 18,000 rolling. Burb comes in at 7,000, so not sure if the cafe would be higher than 11,000. Probably, might depend on drives. (Just put SBC and alphas on the Cafe! LOL) But my burb is bone stock and had no problem with hills. Just slow down to 60 on long grades. That and you are not towing through the mountains. Yellowstone had some fun hills!
Cafe is a lot of boat!

I think a cafe would be in the 13k-14k range on a trailer and not sure the burb would be up to it. Also, I don't think they made a 32 black thunder and you may be referring to a 32 active thunder and those are going to be double your budget. With your budget I would for a 30 or 32 baja or a scarab. Any bullet or cafe in that range is going to need a lot of work.

Well I know for a fact that they made some 32' BT, but they are Definately few and far between! There was a beautiful one for sale at LOTO last summer, but I haven't seen one since. It looked massive for a 32'. And I REALLY don't want a baja.... I know they are in my price range and have tons of room, but I've rode in a ton of them and really don't care for them. Just my personal preference. I think you see right about the burb being close to maxed out with that weight tho. I'd try it, but if it was too sketchy I'd just sell it and get a duramax. Boat comes first! Btw, I love your TG! LOL

I went from a 27 formula to 32 Black Thunder that I bought at LOTO in July, I can say in my opinion BT is a a better more solid hull. Its a beast for a 32 ft but very smooth in rough water. If you can find a 32BT I would go that direction
