I remember reading or hearing that glassdave may have a mold for one. Not sure if its exactly what you are looking for but try getting a hold of him.

I know the old owner and the boat. I don't think it sold for $18K. I'm pretty sure it was in the $20s (sorry, I'm too polite to ask the exact amount). I wish I had extra money around to have bought it. Big inch NA motors, dry exhaust headers and #3 speedmasters. Sweet running boat! And yes, the hatch was delaminating some around the lower edges.

Where did it end up? Is it getting a facelift? I thought about that boat for a long time but I am not a paint and glass guy so i passed. It had all the right hardware

The reason I asked is I'm sure the engine compartment cant get enough air through the factory vents on the side. And I'm redoing the swim pad so I'm thinking of installing 2, 7 to 9 in. snorkel style scoops with the pad around it and vents on the back of the hatch. The power I have now will be fine with a flat hatch But I'm going to warm them up a little to around 600 hp. soon. Plus everything looks bettor with scoops I think!

He has one sitting in his shop, for a Top Gun. I am sure the glassmaster could make it work for a cafe. You will not find better quality for the right price anywhere else. Call or PM him, I am sure he can help you out.

Not sure about the overall size, but definitely not the same hatch design. The Cafes hatch has about 6" or so of the hull side attached, while the Top Guns is flat along the side. Best way i can explain.

Tom, not sure why the pm's didn't get through my box might'a been full. I have been slammed all winter. I actually have several hatch molds, I'm sure we can find something that could work. I have done several that I "dammed" up the perimeter of an existing mold to rough dimensions that could work


four one nine - four six one - four one one four anytime




thanks guys
