Just bought '91 Cafe Racer
 
A couple of weeks ago I bought a 1991 Cafe Racer, fulfilling a lifelong dream of owning a Cigarette. It's got 540s, A/C, and a genset. Needs a swim platform, some tweaks to the cooling system, and some good detailing.

Congratulations & enjoy!!.......I like the mostly all white hull & interior, was she always Fl. boat? how many hours on the 540's, what out drives?

ancho 07-17-2018 03:50 PM

Thanks! I like the mostly white too.
Originally was sold to someone in England, came back to the US a few years later, then was a Great Lakes boat until 2012 or so. Prior owner brought it to Florida then, and had the 540s built in 2014. Due to a combination of factors, only 23 hours on the motors when I bought it last month.
Unfortunately it's got Bravos. I am pretty conservative when it comes to running boats, so I am hoping to make them live a while.

I had a lot fun drinking beer on it Saturday. Nice when someone else is captaining a boat. I'm sure it won't be the last time it happens as well.

Congrats on your great looking boat!!! Enjoy your new ride.

Great looking classic, I love the less is more appeal of white boats with tasteful graphics. Enjoy!

ancho 07-26-2018 08:46 PM

Bonus find today - my boat is actually a Carbon 70. I found that the bilge is laid up with carbon fiber. Woohoo!

Congratulations! You'll love it. I miss mine. ...it took 3 years before I broke a Bravo (I was easy on it coming out of the hole, but I couldn't resist launching into the air as often as possible!)
