I looked at your boat right before you purchased it, I would have bought it as well but the ride was to far in the winter to bring it home. Good luck with your project, I did purchase a Cafe as well and will hopefully be starting some minor updates on mine as well.

did you pick up the one at temptation yacht sales? That was my very close second choice

Adoption
 
It’s funny looking back on texts with SeafordGuy, I realized I BOUGHT my first Cig (Bullet) 10 years ago, I feel like I adopted this one.

I did, the survey came back good so I worked out a deal and grabbed it. The trailer is under rated and junk, so I am in the process of building a new one. The boat is kind of a strange one it has a late model cabin and a notched transom. After some research I was told it was built kind of like a prototype, testing the notch and newer cabin style. When we stop getting snow I will post some pictures.

Awesome boat!

Two questions for you.

1) do you have a part number or link to those LED lights you put in the cabin and are they as easy as popping the old ones out and putting those in?
2) In your travels, if you locate the little spring loaded metal support for the cabin hatches that hold them into place (there's one in the photo you posted above) could you let me know please. I need one.


Oh, and the piping looks great FYI.

Tank:
The puck lights are here: https://thmarinesupplies.com/collect...31068635725867
Part Number is: RGBW - LED-32658
We had a fight getting them ordered because the sales department and the warehouse are in different states (Texas and Alabama IIRC) My customer became a dealer for TH Marine for me to order these and some underwater lights. He got me a GREAT price. Send me your info at [email protected] and I will send you what I paid through him.


2) I have had a few rum and cokes tonight, so i might be slow on the uptake, I'm not sure which part or pic you're referring to. Do you mean the pins that connect the Hatch support "shocks" to the deck and hatch? Please clarify if possible.

I have also been meaning to contact you. You've posted that you sometimes tow kids on a tube behind a Cafe IIRC. I need this ability so i can keep a promise to the GF. I have a tube, a "Power Booster" ski tow line, and another tow rope. Can you offer a recommendation for a bridle to connect to the Cafe? Also where do you connect? I have either the two rear cleats or the 2 pad eyes under the swim platform.

Any advice is welcome!
