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?

Not too sure, but less than 20 hours. Easily verified with scan tool though.

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
