Dude, if you saw what he was getting, you'd want a ride too

Still selling your Cafe?

I bought my 1995 Cafe this summer in Michigan and brought it back to Florida. It has new HP500's and Bravo XZ's.
It won't be the fastest, but the ride is awesome. We cruise at 50 whether it's smooth or 3-5's.
Just added some nice touches including a sweet intercom/VHF/stereo headset system and reupholstered
some cabin walls hatches and doors.

At 5200 with a light load we can get 72 or 73 if it's not too hot outside...

Yes, Phil at Lip Ship had the boat listed. My first call was to him and he directed me to the owner and then handled the brokerage. Totally first class treatment. He even arranged the transportation to Florida.
The only thing I didn't like about the boat was the carpeted walls inside the cabin, so a buddy and I replaced it with some yellow vinyl ( to match the dash) and cleaned up the radio panel appearance.
