Info on a 1989 Cafe Racer
 

OK I posted earlier but OSO wouldn't let me make the changes.

Anyway Have a 1989 Cafe Racer on our lot, owner is looking to move. It has Bravo one with ext box and speed master lowers. Has 572's, very sweet boat. I am not as familiar with the Cigs so I welcome any opinions on this model. I took it out in solid 3' waves and the boat was unreal solid, and fast. Here are some pics, I appreciate any opinions on this model and set up.

Sincerely

WILL

Will,

I don't think anyone can ever say anything negative about a Cig. The only thing I've ever heard is it may not be as fast as a "Brand X" with similar power. But they are as well built as anything ever made and they are all wavecrushers!

Sweet looking boat! I may have to stop by and check it out. However, I'm only a tire kicker :)
That's over my pay grade :)

BTW, who was the brunette on your boat at the OM run? She looked FINE!

that girl was Johnnys Date she may or may not be around some more. The PR Video got some shots of her and Cindy at SMithfield station.

As for the Cig, I think its going to be priced very aggressively?

Awesome cafe!! If the engine are tight and nothing is broken on her she should bring good money. What is the asking price???

Actually the price is one of the parts I am trying to be fair about right now. If someone wishes to pm me with an idea of what they feel would be fair I would love to hear it, even if your not interested in purchasing.

Sincerely,

WILL

Well this one is only 60K and just as nice.

Jeff you can't compare two 20+ year old boats as being just as nice from pictures alone. If you knew both boats personally or had seen both in person that might be a decent comparison but everyone knows pictures can be deceiving.

yes... i agree....

I agree 100%.

It's also true though that just because a former owner spent a small fortune on trying to make one of these beasts go fastER, doesn't make it more valuable.

That is most of the dissapointment with owning one of these older nice boats I think. Once you get them the way you want them, you can't sell them.

I was just throwing some stuff out there like he asked.

While shopping for my next rig I have noticed that with the combination of better interest rates, Less maintenance and burning a lot less fuel, that you can buy a much newer top gun, or comparative competitor that runs faster on smaller engines (fuel) for a smaller payment, and they will hold better value, thus killing the market on these older boats.

Just look at how many are on the market that just WON'T sell for some reason.

Just my .02

It's probably worth 70-75K.......if you can find a buyer.

They're out there, but very hard to find right now. It's not a good time to sell if you want good $$$$$$ for something.....way too many "must sell bargain boats" out there!!
