Probably you, Tank, Stinson, and a few others know what 37.6X means.....

In my opinion the cafe racers are the best looking offshore boats. I prefer the deck design over the top gun.

I agree a 100%,

Ha! I think that's pretty common knowledge.

I don't think Cafe's are less desirable per say. I just think that the economy has pushed TG prices down and now if you're a serious buyer the two prices are over lapping. You can get a sick Cafe for the same price as a fairly decent / stock Gun. So you need to weigh the options and like others have said, the re-sale on a Gun is 99% of the time going to be better (price and demand) because the Gun is the most popular and best selling Cigarette in history.

Personally I think, the cafe is an awesome boat. I'd own one in a heart beat, especially at the prices some of them are going for for ones that are seemingly turn key. Never know, I may just end up buying a cafe in the future.

I think by "Some" you mean a couple. I remember BLee posting a pic of one - it was an EARLY model if I recall. I would consider them an absolute rarity.
