A buddy just bought this 1994 Cafe from Georgia and has a few questions about the motors for the previous owner. Any help you guys can provide is greatly appreciated.

If it's a 1994 and really clean, he is a detailer from the Atlanta area. He has had motor problems so you may want to start over, I'll ask my buddy from that area tomarrow morning if he knows who has been in them last. It's been for sale for a long time.

Yes, the boat was bought from an auction without drives. Dan it is the one from GA that was for sale forever at 110k.

Nykamp thanks, any info you can find out would be great. The people that auctioned the boat didn't have any specs on the motors.

I remember that being a very clean and pretty boat.

Had decent power too.

I was tied up to him a few times on Lanier.

The history that I know on the boat is that the original owner is a member on here, "Plastered". It was well kept and meticulously maitained by the second owner until his marriage went south. It used to have Imco "shorties" on it, I guess he took them and sold them before it got repoed. He had some engine trouble in the summer of '04, something about a worn out distributor and he replaced it hisself and didn't make an adjustment for the tall deck and wound up burning up one engine do to the lack of oil pressure. The last I heard was he had someone(?) go through the engine real quick so he could try and sell it before his ex came after him. Looks like that didn't work if ya'll bought the boat at auction. It's a shame when someone has such a nice piece, as this boat was/is, and won't/can't properly maintain it. I hope that you got it for a bargin. At one time it was one of the nicest 35 CAFE'S that I have ever seen. I do some checking to see if I can find out who's fingers were in the engines last. Oh yeah, check the wheel cylinders on the brakes on the trailer, I tried to get the previous to replace them a couple of years ago and don't know if he ever did.

It sure was Robert. I remember being tied up to him/you and seeing firsthand how sweet that boat looked. It is a shame that it went south, hopew the new owner can restore/keep it in the same way.

knowing Joe, he'll probably put a couple of fresh 525's in it and make it real nice. I was watching that boat for a while but never had that kind of cash. I saw it listed for 130K. Never followed up on any research. Beautiful lookin boat!

GOOD LUCK Joe!
