I ran across this ad:

I value the information I gather as you guys discuss individual boats and their setups and history. I love the restorations as well. Feel free to discuss...

Thanks for sharing the knowledge, it is much appreciated,

Saw that. It's sick. Time capsule.

That's no restore by the way. It's sat for ever. And it's the last year built of the cafés I'm pretty sure. Great price too.

Tank,
I'm not from So. Cal., sick means good looking boat? and time capsule means it's a classic? Just kidding. I'm no Cig expert, but I have been looking alot and following some threads, and this one sure seems cleaner than many out there with a nice graphics package, aka: sick and time capsule.

Thanks for the reply,

Hahaha. Yea, it's very clean and well preserved. Better?

Most importantly is it's been at Johnny's shop all these years with his guys caring for it - since he's one of the most honest people in the industry it'd be easy to get a true assessment of the boat. My only concern would be sitting TOO long and having things rot. But it specifically addressed that in the ad.

I'd say it's by far on face value the best deal on a cafe on the market right now all things considered and assuming it does as well as it should in a survey and leak down

can you say: "itchy trigger finger"?

I like it. Update the interior and go boating!

Great looking boat with big power. Get it.

After looking at the boat it looks like a sweet ride! The only thing I would do is find a bunch of chicks to put on it...

I don't want to derail, but what are the thoughts on the power/outdrive combo.

Nothing wrong with the power and drives, just buy it, play with it and don't sink any unnecessary money into and you'll have a lot of fun and won't lose a ton of cash. Keep it nice and it should still be worth 45 to 50k for several more years.
