Couple more drinks and tabs were gonna prevent puking!

Hahahaha! Fun day! Can wait to do it again....

Good advise
This is very true and common - I bet its got a rotten stringer if the hole isn't thru-bolted on the tab
Great Boat, I love my Cafe in the big stuff Capt Greg

I thought it was EARLY Cafe's with the Notch, but I could be wrong. Not sure on what the boat looksl like but if it's got a trailer I'd say 35-40 depending on how ORIGINAL it is..... |
Do you guys realize how many boats have that lag bolt into the stringer?
Everyone of the ones I've pulled the k planes off or put on. Pretty unfair to say it has rotted stringer over that. Transom must be rotted to since the drain plug insert just has a couple screws holding it in right? Granted if not sealed properly it can be an issue but I wouldn't go in assuming the worst |
Good info guys! X2 on Chris being stand up; I knew right away he was solid. I guess I'll work with him on a survey and we'll go from there..

I had an 87 withe TRS and 540s I didnt notice porpuse at all. I did put tabs down a bit bring the transome up but other then that i loved it. Lil red ran to Blockk with my self and a couple other on the Cafe. Im not going to say it was 8's but a sold 4 maybe 5 here or there. Ran great no issues flew level landed soft. if i didnt need to sell i woudlnt have. On issue was the danm oil pressure gauge what a mess! good luck. Chris is a great guy not to beat a dead horse. Has done my self and many OSO'ers and NE guys many times rite.
