Yes #65 was bought last Feb or March, he then took it up to baker engine in MI. and had the motors done. Know it is at Vincint Paint in LOTO getting the body done. The new owner is a good friend named Scott, OSO name SLUMLORD he loves the ride and the boat. I'm hoping he will post some pics on here shortly, but first he has to get on the web site first.

Hi CigDaze,
Yes, Plusedrive. It is rudder steered, so you can't carve quite like a Bravo (not very good for the Bravo gimbal housing). Speed is slightly better, so is fuel use. The biggest thing is maintenance and reliability. The only thing I have done in over 2 years is spray it off with a hose. I boat every weekend. Also, I don't throttle the boat. Just leave the throttles alone. You can't really appreciate that until you drive the boat. Best choice I every made!

Re: How Many Cafes Where Made?
c'mon guys, there's more out there...
one that i know of and happened to be the first cigarette i ever ran was a 90's model with #3s and 540s with M/T valve covers. It was owned by a jewler who imported Raymond Weil watches and had a big "W" on the side. He traded it to Ocean Performance for his new T/S several years ago. For some odd reason, I cannot remember the paint scheme and don't have any pics
What I do have is pics of the very first Cafe ever built...as it was being built
Here's a taste.
