WOW.....Funny that I'm just now looking to buy a Cigarette. This ones a Li'l big. This guy has to be rich and got distracted for some reason or another. The price is right for this boat. Even if it did need a transom. That's probably the least of worries if you're doing the work yourself and allready have everthing out. Makes me sad to see that nice Oval with the '1' inside it, and then see the back of the boat. I'd a put gas in that thing and drove it 1nce a month for free for the guy!!!!

Big im lookiing to redo it depending.
-Mike

x2- exactly..

Well put... plus mine's right on Long Island.

This is the second boat I've redone including the 28SS "OSO Bicycle" Figure to spend twice what you've budgeted... and I do alot of the stuff myself...I leave the heavy lifting to the professionals at Falcon Hi Performance.

Sick Stinger...if you are serious about a Cafe, you should have a look at my boat...for about 25k more than that boat on the west coast you could have a turnkey fresh water cooled Cafe that will run 70mph. Wanna go faster? add some whipples... wanna more updated look? add graphics....

you'll spend less on my boat to get ALOT more...

516 455 1200

You are 100% correct . I have restored several boats and always spend way more than I can get for them.

That is why you buy one already re-done. Let them eat the expense......:evilb::evilb:

Agreeded sean but the only thing is starting off with 496's. But if i was to redo the other one i could do exaclly what i want. With yours if i wanted grafics, whipples there a pretty penny along with its a few years older. This on eis a 95 i believe your is 88 89?
-Mike

They all feel too big until you get use to them. When I first got behind the wheel of my Cafe I thought it was Massive. Doesn't seem like that now. When I first hooked it up to the trailer, I thought to myself "how could anyonne feel comfortable towing anything bigger", but you get SO used to it SO fast.....

I have to say I would rather have the Merc closed water cooled motors then those gm crate motors that need work. Add a set of headers and add an easy 25 hp. or go with the Raylar update to 525hp. The hull has not changed from 86 to 95, he only difference is Sean boat did not sit in the water for months. I have a 93 and have put crazy money into this thing and I am going to have it painted this winter because I just can't bring myself to give it away to someone else for pennies on the dollar. In my opinion Sean is willing to do that....his loss will be someones gain. Cafe's are big heavy boats and it takes some power and set up to make them run fast, but they will run in 3-4 footers at their max speed. I personally would never buy a project boat because what you see with problems is only scratching the surface.

The choice is yours, but to view Sean's Cafe as 87 vs. 95 is doing it an injustice IMO.

MIKE THIS IS A 95 buy it DO THE WORK AND OWN IT FOR HALF PRICE.

AGREED !!!!!!!!

Eventhough I posted before negatively, If your up to the work, and are willing to spend what it takes to raise it to the level that your happy with, GO FOR IT!!!

Thanks guys i def. am williing to go for it. But also what abou the resale of it. Some one seeing a 95 or an 89 id say they would want the newer one i sure would think that way. Plus everything would be 09' or so and fresh. Plus they are 502 gm your run of the mill stuff that a 2 year old could work on and great reliability. Plus i would plan on x or xr's and 38K planes. So the boat would be set to rock. and if it does have a valve problem get a set of AFR head for both motors and add another 75H.P. or so.
-Mike

Good luck Mike and keep us updated. Love to see these boats come back from the dead and be owned by someone who appreciates them...

XR's
 

Mike - I have all of the Bravo stuff you need, 2 Bravo XR Extremes, 2 HD transom assemblies, new drive hubs, bell housings. All new or 3 hrs or less time. $14,900 for all. Barry

So whats the deal? Are you going for it? Bring it back to life.:ernaehrung004:

Supposidly sold...
-Mike

i bought it.

NO CHIT:eek:

ahhhh:hitfan:

Gotta pull the trigger quick once the fire sale is anounced. Once he lowered the price then all the hype on this board made me want the boat.

Mike it was like said before go buy that Cafe from Sean.....now you can have your pick

Sean, congrats. Care to share your plans for it?

I'll bet.

I THINK he is joking, but looking at his sig line I wouldn't stake my life on it....:eek:

Voted most gulible... right here!! Maybe he wants to do diesels or turbines and needs a good test bed.

we have a winner! I was just kidding with u guys... I'm sure my wife would divorce me if this showed up in my driveway...

LOL

someone got a good deal, but a lot of work...you never get your labor out of these things, never mind the money you pull from your pocket...

most people don't realize that it's the little nickel and dime crap that gets ya...
