cash buyer

I purchased a 95 Café last year its my first Café I like the boat not the fastes mine is a made up HP500 Bravo boat but they handle great very solid and a good wave crusher.

What power drive combo are you looking at

that 96 at TNT is a sweet boat. I don't think its been for sale all that long.

How 'bout something old school?

That's a clean boat, not sure where the market is at these days that's the same price I paid for my Café last year

That cafe is EASILY one of if not the nicest cafe on the market in recent years. Extremely low use/hours and it's one of the last cafes built...may even be THE last one built.

I think it's been for sale for a while because it's on the high end of pricing for the cafe market even though it's super nice.

I think it'd be a great ride as long as you had it surveyed and especially had someone look close at the motors. ;-)

Good luck on a purchase. Cafes are great boats. I've had a LOOOOOT of seat time in them.

You absolutely stole that thing. That's not indicative of the current cafe market. ;)

Very nice !

The only question I have -- does the gas pump come with it???

That is a very nice Cafe' at TNT, I may be over priced, but the money is there. If you are looking for a 35 you should check that on out. Have it surveyed and as thisistank said have someone check the engines.

I've got 2 cafes in the works a 89 and a 92. The 89 is a mild build and the 92 will be very nice with bigger power and drive combo. I also have a 89 bullet for sale as well.

Will ya hurry up already ^^^^:party-smiley-004:

^^^^
That man is the ticket if you are hunting a quality used Cig!

second that

I figured as much.... pulling engines this weekend for the clean up and minor upgrades

Back to OP took a look at that Café, very clean nice boat if your looking for a Café that's a nice one add up drives and engines you could not build it for that with a lessor boat to start with.

Any pics of the three boats you have for sale? Whats the deal with the Bullet? Power/drives?

Why aren't you posting progress picks man? Always love to see your work. Can't wait to see how these come out.

Just haven't had a lot of time to get on the computer and post with running my CNC shop during the day and boats in the evenings and having a my 14 month old son there's only so many hours lol. I keep most of it updated on my IG account. I've got 6 boats going as we speak.

The 92 café will be a sweet setup when completed in paint at the moment.

Carter38 does a great job. I bought my Café Racer - Carbon 70 Edition from him and it turns heads every where we go.

If I were looking for a Café I would contact Carter and see what he is building right now. You will not be disappointed.

Since I'm close I'm going to go sniff around this one in Sat.. Now I know Its got original power and drives but the hours are very low and its supposedly been a fresh water boat.. To the OP, just out of curiosity do you want a blower boat and are you prepaired for the top end maintenance intervils? I'm not sure but theres no trailer available w that 96 is there?

Third that....

new to performance boating always center consoles

Welcome to the dark side, This could be the first sign that the center console trend is starting to fade out. It's rare nowadays to hear someone stepping into a performance boat from a center console.

Didn't think you Ark boys could count that high lol

What is your IG account name? I'd love to follow along (and get some details on the boats you may have coming up for sale...hint hint).

You can also check out my Cafe Racer on Instagram - OHH1WOW

I googled it.

I wish all you Café boyz would post pics of your boats. Always like the looks of those boats, let's see um.

From last season

Here is mine

Wow! That's beautiful. Did you buy it that way? That paint job is a copy of the 2000 TS gun "Miami Two Step".

I bought it like that and the paint was done by Vincent. Was redone 2000 and I have just added little touches and kept it up. Also had to put new lightning headers on it last year.

Yea, Vincent painted Miami two step as well. It was the 2000 Miami boat show boat and first twin step.

Very nice, I love the headers

Very nice, you and PTOTOYPE28 need to bring those bad boyz to Pirates on Lanier this year.
