In all seriousness if you are heading north and would like to stop by and get a feel for one you are welcome to PM me and stop by - I'm in SE VA. It's winterized right now and I won't be de-winterizing until may but your welcome to come by and see it in person.

I have a cafe and love it the lines are timeless in my opion,the recesed deck and sloping cowl make the boat look much newer,with good power 75 is not a problem,with alittle chop under mine it will run 80mph on gps,will run 78 ever day flat water,we. Overnite often and it serves us well,there are some other brands that are 38ft but when I pull next to them the differance is like a foot and a half,great boats all around....just my 2cents

I have owned mine for 12 years, never intended to be a long term owner. but love the boat. does everything I need it to do.and there are fewer cafes you can own 1 of 100 or 1 of 800 either way you wont be sorry.

cafe is one of the best looking boats of all time imo. I don't see that much of a difference between a cafe and a non-stepped gun, performance or size wise. I would love to own a cafe.

Looking at a 35 Cafe with TRS drives. Running 70+ Are the TRS drives a bad thing? WIll the TRS support more HP and what would it take to see 85? Prochargers?? Whipple??

I think they are just as good.It depends where you boat and if you really get a great deal on one,but lots of Top guns out there and its buyer's market. Figuire out your budget,as 4195 says you will pay less and will get less when you sell.Otherwise they both awesome boats and all you really need is to go 75mph or so at the most unless you plan to race and spend a ton of money.

TRS's are only a "bad thing" because they are now dated and haven't been made in numerous years. However, they are sturdy, take a tranny and the X on them is deep making them reliable. Parts are getting harder to find but not impossible.

TRS's are rated to 650HP I think but will take more. 85 in a Cafe? I'm guessing 800HP a side.
