Looks awesome so far!

Frank, are you redoing the sun pad this year also? Would be cool to redo it to match the paint scheme.:party-smiley-004:

Can't wait to see the finished product Frank. Plus when I sell mine and become a boat bum I'm gonna enjoy criusing on your newly painted ride!!

Is this Jason? Look, gettin rid of the Corvette doesnt mean you have to give Mary your balls forever! Keep the boat, and tell her she can just hold on to them for a while. If you sell the Vette AND the boat everyone will put you in a catagory that only certain people go in......I think you know what I mean. Unless of coarse you sell it and then purchase something with a #1 on the side! Then you get to go into a WHOLE NOTHER catagory. Then your balls are yours forever!!!!!:drink::drink:

looks great I have a 91 cafe owned for 10 years still think its a great boat, on my 3rd set of motors ateco built a set of 525 hp carb motors now have about 20-30 hours , interior 4 years ago, i do have a question whats it cost to paint ?mine needs to come into this century

Nice work, looking good.

Props : my '91 Carbon 70 had 25p Bravo's and with 600hp per ran lower 80's.

Well I am putting in new pop up cleats and nav light and a couplle of extras but the total cost will be around 18-$20k. How do you like the Aetco motors what props are you running and what speed have you seen? Post of pic of the old girl.

Thanks! 80's thats pretty good in a Cafe not many of them in that range. The two things I do like about these boats is deck lines sloping down in the front and they do handle well in the rough stuff, they just aren't gonna be the fastest in flat water....oh well it's still a Cigarette right?

aetaco's are great
 

the aeteco's run perfect Bill is great to work with.im turning estimated 525 hp out of a 502 with hp 500 manifolds and carbs kept the old school theme with power plant. also while motors were out ,removed the wishbone and put in teague switchable tips .still turning the old 4 blade 24s on bravos with 1.50 but have 26 and 28s in the garage. have not had time or wheather to work on dialing in top speed. but i will say it runs better than it ever has.

And just for clarification, they were 3 blade.
