Any tips???

First - remove cabin door and discard.
Second - ignore all mechanicals. Engine/Drive refresh doesn't add any value. Paint fade on the deck does
Third - don't worry about overspray on the bottom. It will be in the water anyways
Fourth - tow it around with an aluminum drop bar
Fifth - go ahead and make the assumption that it will be worth twice what every other comparable cafe is worth

I'm only at page 75, so I may be a little behind....

Only thing I will say is this....

At 19, I was only interested in 3 things...

1) Pu$$y
2) Beer
3) Fox Body Mustangs

I applaud him for taking this on.....He will (if he hasn't already) learn valuable life lessons from it...

Keep that $hit on the downlow unless you have proof that everything is done up to the Cigarette Committee standards.

I agree! I hope to sell my boat soon and get a twin engine offshore boat! But it might be a PowerPlay or a Active Thunder because I don't want to have to have 700hp engines to go faster than 75!:D:D:D
