35' Cafe
 

Saw this at the new Hidden Harbor Facility in Pompano Beach. Boat looks like it's getting 100% refurbished. Who's ride is this? Beautiful boat and can't wait to see what is looks like when completed.

There was a post with pic of being redone on here somewhere the owner is OSO, and I agree the boat looks awesome. came so close to doing this same paint scheme.

I'm the guy your looking for! :party-smiley-004:

Yep, complete restoration. It didn't exactly start out that way, but, once you get started, it's hard to stop. I have compiled well over a hundred photos thus far, from the start of disassembly.

I've been itching to post more photos, but, I wanted to wait until it was completed.

I'm hoping that it'll be completed in the next 45 days or so.

Well........unless I run out of money first! LOL!

A few photos to share..........

What a cool project! Thanks for sharing the photos. I look forward to seeing it on the water. Looks like you're really doing a first class job on the restoration!

is that gellcoat, base clear, emron? looks good im doin fiber glass work rite now on mine. im hopin to have mine done mid march. i just dont no what paint to use.

This is the Cafe i saw at Pats being preped for paint... Nice boat..

Yeah, it's been pretty cool. A LOT of decision making........as bad a building a house. At this point, I can't wait until it's completed so I don't have to think about it anymore.

Thank you. Every nut and bolt has been gone through. Even the entire cabin is in the process of 100% replacement.

I'm going for a classy look throughout. Like a fine Italian sports car. Opposed to the muscle machine look. Hopefully, it will come out as nice as I imagine that it will.

We decided to go with a base with clear coat. Not for any particular reason to be truthful. Well, not that I recall anyway.

I forget what paint was used on the bottom. The type/name escapes me at the moment.

If I'm not mistaken, did I meet you when you were there?

Would love to see some pictures of the cabin! I will be upgrading mine along and along, and I'm just not as creative as some of you guys, so I'm looking to get some ideas on what's been done and incorporate bits and pieces of things I like.

You can email or pm me if its easier.

BTW, looks great so far!!!

I'll email you a few photos that I have of the interior removed. The photos that I have must bee too large to post. They're supposed to start on the reinstallation tomorrow. Basically, the ceiling and the walls, along with the seating, will be completed in white vinyl, nothing elaborate.

I meet a couple of guys that where there working on the boat, not sure if that was you or not.

I restored the boat that Aneway has now. I was at Active Thunder looking at a new boat when i saw yours. At that time i still had my Cafe so i can relate to all the work you are doing.

Bob ( Aneway) bought my Cafe. I hated getting rid of it but it was time to move on.

Bob could use some help on the interior. Any ideas and tips you can give him would be great.

Good luck with the restoration.

Looking forward to seeing it competed! The pictures with it torn down are cool, nice to see what is behind the curtain so to speak.


Thanks Jeff! I'm going slow on the cabin, but I'm all about seeing folks ideas along the way. :) You need to get us some pictures of the new one!

I was there the day that they were expecting you, but, I honestly can't remembe if we met.

Your old Cafe is absolutely stunning. As far as the colors are concerned, I can't say that I've seen one like it. I do recall thinking, "I would have bought that boat, if I hadn't already bought mine."

Aneyway is a lucky guy!

Thanks! And I'm ready for some warm weather!!! :) This buying a boat right before the coldest weather Dallas has had in 14 years is for the birds, I want to go play!!! :)

It wouldn't be so bad, but heck, its even been too cold to do any off season stuff on the boat either.
