Not to hijack thread but this seems like a good deal. I don't know the boat or owner. But that is a screaming deal if it all checks out. I assume no trailer but still. Put Whipples on that and it runs 100. Biggus has one that runs 103-104.

and that pic is funky but the full drives are there. You have to zoom in to see that the drives are up but I did a double take when you pinged that out. It does look like theirs on boxes or something and no lowers. Lol

I’m 100% with Frickstyle, as far as cost you can find a really decent cafe under 40,000 if you look enough.... top guns under 50,000 are not common and do pop up but need work,all will need work for sure just a matter of how much and your goals, my top gun was very cheap and nearly untouched, but I have already done many things to make it nicer and did aliens some coin too.
mistress is great also if you don’t need a big cabin, flat decks are also great but they are heavy so find one with SSM drives, personally if you wanna be over 500 hp get a SSM boat.

So, My wife, daughter, and I are coming to the Cigarette Rendezvous in June. I'm going to hold off purchasing a Cigarette until after the event. Hopefully, I'll learn more about the models, drives, engines, and shortfalls of each to make a better informed decision on my Cigarette purchase. See y'all there! And thanks for your help.

I said I was going to wait until after the Rendezvous, then this Cafe showed up in classifieds. What do you all think?

It’s been for sale for about a year. Asking price is good. Get it surveyed and go check it out. Couple things I’d do is leak down the motors and Make sure the transom is dry. For the price it’s a good buy. I’d immediately rip the dash out and update and throw new interior in it. That’s just me. Of course that’s exactly what I did to our cafe...and then some. Lol
