Default Cafe Racer in Long Beach (CA)?

Anyone know this boat?

http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac...289903981.html

20 Hours on 496's and XR's? I'm going to call and try to look at it tomorrow. Doesn't say year but by the hockey stick and bolsters looks late 80's?

What didn't you like about it?

Did you ever sell your Eliminator?

My biggest concern is that while being a wave crusher, with 496's it's going to be a bit of a pig and I'm not crazy about the thought of getting a boat that is slower than my last boat.

Gary's old cafe was repowered with 496's. I want to say it ran in the upper 60's.

Jeez, Al, it's like right around the corner from you. Go look at it.

The value in the boat is what a pair of used H.O.'s and XR's would sell for minus labor to remove.
Sad really as it was once a nice boat I'm sure is now a complete pos.
What does it look like ? Like I'd have a hard time paying 20k for it,honestly. Complete neglect by the current owner.
