Looking for Bullet or Cafe
 
I'm looking for either a Bullet or Cafe Racer and I would like to spend around $35k. Does anyone know of anything, must have Bravo drives and trailer.

P man 09-26-2009 08:00 PM

35k Are you expecting engines also?

island2 09-26-2009 08:38 PM

I love Cafe Racers; the best deal I've seen to date is 65k. Any less, and you'll have the same money plus your time into it I wager.

DisturbedVelo22 09-26-2009 08:57 PM

I've been looking too, you're not going to find one for that price, especially something with bravos. I agree with island2, if you find one for that price, you're probably going to spend some serious coin on it to get it in good shape.

Cafe
 
I don't know this boat personally, but from looking at the ad this is a "lot of boat for the money". This has has steering, 540's and xr drives. Even if you have to put a little money in it you can't beat it.

That is a good deal for a Cafe.

There is a cafe for 42.5K on SOS. If I were to buy one, that would be it.

Those are both nice cafe's. I really like the on in Ohio that is a awesome looking cig. I missed a Bullet earlier in the year that sold for $35k looked like a real clean boat. I was really hoping something would pop up but haven't had any luck yet.

Need some wireing done not sure the issue with tat. Does not have a trailer. Its blue with differant shades of blue across the sides and top. He is asing mid 20's assuming its 25K obo.
-Mike

kreed 09-29-2009 07:20 AM

Mike, they are 454s with B+M blowers on them.(single carb) Boat has some some steering issues, cable is frozen. He does have a trailer for it, but not included in sale. I guess its nice and wants to sell it seperatly. 25K or best offer. I bet 20 is the magic #. If this boat was for me, I would offer 25K with the trailer!!!

eightsecmopar 09-29-2009 07:51 AM

wayne272 09-30-2009 06:30 PM

I checked that boat out over the summer. It's a real project boat. It's been sitting a few years. It was a coors light giveaway boat. It's on its 3rd paint job (the rubrail wasn't even taken off), so much paint on it that you couldn't even see the HIN, steering is frozen, skegs snapped off, alot of corrosion on drives/tabs, upholstery was redone but didn't use monel staples, cabin was all wet and musty/moldy. But the engines are supposed to be fairly fresh 454 magnums w/B&M 250 blowers (freshened by The Blower Shop) with single Nickerson 900 carbs. I never got as far as starting the motors. The seller is a nice honest guy, but you are definitely going to spend some coin getting it in shape.

eightsecmopar 09-30-2009 08:03 PM

Just received the pics and it looks real rough. I know the guy is only asking 25k but it needs everything! Sent the pics to Mike because I couldn't post them. I guess I will just keep looking. Thanks for the info though I appreciate it.
