Max Speed for Cafe Racer
 

Hi Guys, purchased a 91 Cafe Racer late last year in St Tropez and shipped her back to the UK. Did not have time to try for a max speed trial. Any ideas what she should do " when I put her to the wall"??. Fitted with a pair of Mercruiser 425 HP and swinging 23" pitch Mirage props on TRS legs.

low 60s.....

That sounds about right.

Carlo,

Which one did you buy? I was there in June and there were quite a few...one was packed away in a shop right in the main harbor there...looked like it had been there for years...

Hi Sean, bought her from ANG Boats, she had been stored in their workshop about a mile from the port for about 18 months.
I was surprised how many cigs are down there just sitting in workshops !!

Will keep in touch as I think I may have a wiring problem and you guys have all the info.

Well, post up some pics!
I would say low 60's for speed.

My '84 flat deck has the same bottom and about the same weight as your '91 Cafe. It has (had) new 425's on TRS w/23 Mirages. Boat ran 63.5 in salt water with a mild chop, 1/3rd tank of fuel, no gear on board.

Lets see some pics of her!!
