I would say mid 60's at best if the seller wants to move it. The speedmasters are a plus, but you are going to spend some money on the engine upper rebuilds and making sure the headers are good to go.

The pricing on early T/S Guns is starting to get interesting.

-Glad you chimed in Sean, yeah I sold my 'Gun last fall. In hindsight, I wish I kept it but movin'on now.

What's your take on this mess? Also forgot to mention, the rear seat base is rotted...

Thanks for the input. I'm at a bit of a quandry, like the idea of a project but realize how fast you can be upside down with the older stuff.

On the other hand, one can just spend all the money you would have into the finished project and buy a fresh T/S, make the payments and just go boating...

Whoa whoa whoa!!!! I'm not boat less. Your baby is still safe and sound with me and I don't have any immediate plans on changing that either.

I'm just putting my $.02 in on something I probably don't have any business commenting on. I didn't realize Kurt was boat less either until I saw his posts in the last week or so. Caught me off guard too.

Buck.

That's good news guys...thanks for the update! Glad to hear my girl is still in good hands. The gun is prob worth somewhere in the 50s if the power is tired. I do like the 3As though...

Kurt...I'm still working on that 16 I got from your yard 10 years ago!

It's a tough call Kurt. I bought my Cafe two years ago from a guy that had bought it just before the economy tanked. Excellent condition, new cockpit, and 20 hrs on new Zul Power in a hull with 120 hrs on it. We both new there was a big price adjustment in the market and I was paying what it was worth at the time.

Two years later and look at the trouble guys here have had selling their Cafe's - priced well under what I paid for mine. I could spend money on upgrades to make mine faster, but it will never ride as nice as a T/S.

I'd say mid to upper 50's is a fair number. Never know what your gonna get into with motors and drives.

The rotted seat base is alittle concerning too. Check floor and bulkhead to makr sure water didn't get there too.

Sell the 3a's and put the new Konrad 3 conversion to it with motor detuned to 800-850 and your gauranteed a reliable package.

My $.02

I don't want to get killed here but I would be in the area of 40k. That is unless you want to own it more than the guy wants to sell it.
It won't be worth more next year. A harsh lesson when I sold my 10 meter...
