I'm stubborn like you, I just put about $55K into my 93 Cafe. I put in a set of Merc HP500's and new transom assemblies rebuilt drives new helm and every cable and wire bolt and screw. I have a lot of people ask me why didn't I buy a mid 90's top gun instead. I actualy started looking around and found I would have to eventualy spend that money on whatever I bought anyway, and at least I know my hull and what I have. The boat runs 76mph now and I am going to try a labbed 26p prop and see if I can get a little more, but I am happy with. I think Cafe's have great lines and love big water, but definately not the fastest. Good luck and enjoy! :drink:

You hit the nail on the head. I started looking at top guns too and came to the exact conclusion. I know every square inch of my boat and now it is just about where i want it to be...and with new power, i'll have a turn key reliable boat...

76mph is respectable with that HP. any pics of your ride?

I paid 68000 for my 89 cafe and i am about to put another 50000 in the boat. I am getting painted and putting in new gauges and interior. I am going with that new carbon fiber vinyl, i think it looks pretty cool. I love the way my boat rides and handles. My friends thought i was crazy buying such an old boat. But they all want one now...lol
