I didn't mean to come across that way, sorry. I just tend not to count the chickens before they hatch. I just know how it works, I get all emotionally involved and then it doesn't happen. I'll give more details when and if the boat is in my possesion, or after I take some pictures next week (I'll post them up). Also, out of respect for the current owner, I don't want to publicize all the info, this boat is not being advertised as 'for sale'.

My 93 Bullet had "Pro-Series" What year was your Cafe?

The reason I ask is because I may know the boat. Wasnt LS's Gun an anniversary edition, or Platinum edition, something like that?

Frick good luck looking foward to pics im intrested to check it

My '89 Cafe is a 25th Anniversary Edition. About the only thing that I know that is different other than the paint on the side stating it, is a small plaque in the cabin saying its a 25th Edition, with maybe a commemorative number.

I can check this weekend if its noted any where else.

It was a 90. Only thing I can really tell "came with it" was the decanture option in the cabin. Which would be nice but I am not going to fill up decantures with liquor and then let it bake all day in the sun and all week while the boat is covered up!

I always thought it was just the embroidery work in the upholstery and that was it. Get a good survey and calculate the whole project and what your time off the water (potentially) might be. For the cost of a turnkey boat vs. a project, there are too many deals out there today that could make a huge restoration not the best use of your $$$ is that is your priority.

This might be around the year Cigarette made only 6 or 9 boats total? Was it 1989 or 1990 or 1991? Could never remember the exact year. Anyone recall?

LS's boat was the Pink Flamingo, it was a Platinum edition (just a name, nothing special) carbon fiber boat with 525's...went to the wesrt coast and I thought I heard that it caught on fire or something like that.....

you are right, I knew it was a something edition, also, I knew something happened to it, never heard the full story, and that was why I was posting here, if it ended up being the same boat I was going to put him in touch with Steve or Bobby.
