Looking for a Cafe or Playboy....
I'm looking for a nice Cafe or Playboy to use on the lake I live on and maybe trailer to a few different runs over the summer. It isn't a vey big lake, so I really can't go any larger than a 35. I would like to stay w/ stock power and Bravo drives. If the deal is right, I don't mind making some cosmetic upgrades or updates to the boat, but I'd rather not worry about repowering an old worn out boat. I've owned a T/S Gun and a Gladiator, so I am partial to the T/S hulls, but I also love the classic lines of the Cafe. I don't have a price range, but this may become a second boat since I do still plan on having a boat at LOTO.
So who has what? Thanks in advance, Chad |

My cousin might sell his. Its 1991 Cafe Racer with 540/625hp NA Zuls. roughly 200 hours on the whole boat.

Chad, this was my 1st thought when reading your post.
Sean, how many hours on the 496s now? I haven't used the boat at all this year....never de-winterized, still in storage... |
Thanks guys. Definitely some grest prospects! It looks like I have some research to do.
I loved the Gladiator, but this boat will mainly be used for short cruises and long afternoons anchored in a cove. We normally have 4-6 people on board, so cockpit room and storage for coolers, bags, rafts, etc. is a must. My Gladiator was basically a 4 person boat....even at that, you had to pack light. If I were doing poker runs or just looking for a boat to go out and rip up the water, I would look no further than a Gladiator. Thanks, Chad |
