Mistress vs. Cafe Racer
 

What would you rather have? A 1984 35' Mistress or a 1986 Cafe? Which one handles the rough stuff better. Which is built better? They are about the same condition and same money with comparable power.

Thanks, Shawn

Cafe Racer. No question.

Re: Mistress vs. Cafe Racer
 

yup... cafe... an old boat with new boat style... a properly cared for/updated cafe is timeless... where a mistress will appear dated--forgive me mistress owners

as for ride...they are based on the same hull.

Cafe, for it,s beautiful lines and updated look.

Oh, the Humanity!

Sorry. That boat looks awesome!!

Re: Mistress vs. Cafe Racer
 

I think it depends on the particular boat.
Flat decks do rule.

Have to respectfully agree with cigrocket :D :evilb:

Certainly with those hulls being so similar it is a matter of taste and likes. Flat deck vs. raised :cool: And in the Mistress you can climb on into the engine compartment to wrench :evilb: :drink:

Re: Mistress vs. Cafe Racer
 

Mine is a 1985 and a friends '84 :cool: Both ride like tanks :drink: :cool:

The cafe is nice but the old school look and ride of a Mistress Flat Deck is timeless. These were some awesome boats and made to eat up the big stuff... These are boats to be noticed...
