Well, first step to getting into a #6 Cig is selling this one. Bitter sweet. It's SUUUUUUCH a good boat. Hope I don't regret this :picard1:

OffshoreOnly Classifieds - Boat Classifieds - Boat Parts

It is hard to sell without having something else lined up. Always a balancing act.

GLWS!

yeah. Slim pickings right now too. But there’s a couple I got my eye on. Stars align may be able to make something happen.

good luck with the sale!!!

Tank did you see the 89 Gun with big power and 6’s ? https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...b1fa3cb043.png

I did! Cool boat for sure. Lotta money in those motors!

Cool to see someone not shopping for outboards….. not that there’s anything wrong with that.

That one that just got listed looks like a good fit Tank!

You have the eye, that’s for sure. Looking forward to the next saddle.

you know what I’m looking for Jack. 😉 I have some specific requirements.

Tank, any updates on your search? Can't believe your boat hasn't sold yet!

I know of a couple boats that I’ll be calling on upon my boats sale.

meh, winter sales are tough. Had a couple guys sound interested and ready to go and then radio silence. Lol. Oh well. Dragging it to havasu week after next to have it serviced and a tab ram replaced. Get it ready for desert storm at end of April. Then we’re dragging it up to central ca to a cool little lake for a week in May. Head to Catalina end of may or after cigarette run. Lots of runnin to do while it isn’t sold. 😁😁👍

thanks for Checkin in brotha!

Little tiktalk video buddy made of our run and fun yesterday.

whole day I’m just thinking, man, do I really want to sell this thing? It runs so good and meets all our needs so well.

anyway, heading back out again too.

Watching that video I thought the same thing, why would you want to get rid of the turn key reliability….

..

cause I want to run 100 and have a rooster and beat the **** out of it in the ocean! 😂😂

few pics from today.

by the way. Cafe open is for sale 2nd owner. Super clean.

Love both boats. Wish they were closer.

That’s doable! 😁👍

I would like to hear more about the Cafe Open. Is it listed somewhere?

second owner. It’s a 99. 250’s with 300 hours on a trailer. SUPER clean. Think they’re looking to get 90.

some video of it from this weekend.

And more video of us running around havasu this weekend. buddy lives in havasu and puts these videos together.

Not the Cafe Open too. But Why ?

I think they want to buy a newer CC, maybe like a 340 nor tech. they also have 2 scarab CC’s they’re putting back together. I don’t know exactly what the plan is right now but first step is to sell cafe open then figure it out.

Damn didn’t know the cc was for sale
but I guess everything is for sale
I will say one thing the pictures do not do that boat justice
It looks good in pics but in person holy cow it rocks
even with the old style graphics it’s beautiful

Bro what camera are you using for the family pics? Outrageously sharp pics....

iphone 14 on the portrait setting. Makes your pics come out like Annie Levowotz’s photos!! Lol

2 strokes I assume on the Cafe Open?

yes. Merc 250’s.

Tank, I just seen Ruckus is up for sale at Grand Sport Center, It looks like Riggs rebuilt the engines and someone replaced the 6's with new ones. They have it listed for 114,995 which if everything checks out would not be bad for a 94 with Phaff motors and dry 6's. Should leave a little room for a change in paint and interior.

good lookin out! I did see it listed. Want to sell
the cafe first and have a couple others on the short list that I can work on once the cafe moves. Hoping to get an “iconic” boat. Although the detailer just sent me a video of the cafe all cleaned up. Shines like a new penny. New engine hatch upholstery gettin done now too. Thing is just SO NICE and perfect. I must be
crazy! 😂😂

Whelp…cafe is headed for lake
lanier tomorrow. Money wired today. Gotta say, it was a fantastic boat. Never once left me stranded and only once when I very first got it and hadn’t had it serviced yet one motor had a bad sensor and went into limp mode on and off. Other than that, great boat. Get in it and pin it all day. Was a lot of fun having my son in law update it over last few
years so thanks to Barrett Custom Marine. Lost a little money after pouring money into it but I always expect to lose on a boat and it wasn’t too much.

on to the next cigarette! Shopping has begun.

Bad ass !!!! Can’t wait to see what you get next !!! Topgun all the way !!! Just down my rabbit hole ……
