The first one was in my family for a while. From new until around 2006 it was a fresh water boat that was between Grand Lake and Texoma. We sold it to the guy in Vegas. The trailer was bought new from Fastload and delivered just before the boat went to Vegas. I dont think you will find any other Cigarette's that are that old with that much of their life in fresh water. It was a nice boat when we had it. It had HP425's.

TxHawk thanks for the info...it looks like a clean boat.

Jason i know you want a TopGun but it seems this is a really good deal. I dont know him or about the boat.

Yeah you're right Mike, I actually saw that already before I was set on a Gun and tried to contact him but no reply. Does look like a good deal especially considering there's another '95 Cafe down here in FL that they're asking $59k for!

Thanks for looking out...

Alright Jay get that gun then. If you want me to try to contact i will.

The one thing you need to realize is that every Top Gun you mentioned had TRS drives. Just think about it before you go spend that kind of money because you could spend another 20K to swap out to Konrads, unless you can find parts to repair the TRS's.

Check out the 1991 in Miami with XR's. It has yellow strip down the side. May have already sold but dont' know.
:coolcowboy:
Just my 2 cents.

jasonmd2 07-20-2010 10:23 AM

amann you talking about the 1991 Top Gun for $56k in Miami? If so, it's already sold...

Yeah I am aware of the TRS situation...differing opinions on this matter...doing my research for sure.

Thanks for commenting though...appreciate it.

Just something to consider ...

When I was looking for a Cafe Racer, I settled for one with TRS drives knowing that Konrads were a possible purchase down the road. I finally ended up buying the Konrads. Glad I did.

I can't get over the price of some of the Cafe's Holy crap they will have to use mine as a coffin. I love the lines of the Cafe deck and don't see a big differnce in ride but with that being said I have never heard anyone complain about the additional 3 ft. The Gun definately is more saleable(Bravo). Both boats are great find the right deal and the one with the least amount of work needed. On a side note on the Bravo vs TRS deal from what I have learned is the TRS is a great drive and some even say the boats ride better with them. The down side is they do rob some hp and the perception there are no parts for rebuilds so the market discounts those boats. The bravos are not as strong but cheap as hell to replace compared to everything else. Good luck ! Also I have heard nothing but positive comments about Konrads.
