I "believe" it was a dammed mistress/cafe bottom. But not 100% sure.

1988 and 89 bullets were not noched. 1990 to 1992 were notched.

So the cafe's chine walk too at 80+? My only experience in a cig is in an 86 flatdeck at 80+ and that feels incredibly stable, boring almost. In calm water at least, 3'+ it unbeatable

Edit: keep in mind any ride in my boat above 75 in any water gets teh heart rate WAY up so maybe I'm not a good judge of thrilling.

I've never heard of Cafe's chine walking at all. For that matter, I've never heard of any Bullets chine walking except this one. But remember, this thing really isn't a Bullet technically. Only "bullet" staggard set up, only "Bullet" flat deck, only "bullet" that had light lay-up and no cabin.

I hadn't either thats why I was surprised with the talk of chine walking and the whole dammed cafe/mistress comment. I thought the old cigarette hulls where pretty good.

Why exactly did they do this project? Just because a flatdeck deck was easier to make lighter? I always thought the lines on the bullets where pretty sharp. Wouldn't mind owning one some day if the cards are right.

It has a Bullet bottom for sure bro, not a Cafe.


PS: The Non-Notched Cafe's don't porpoise, and NONE of them chine walk.
