hey cuda, when you find that cafe, you'll finally get some respect. not the kind for just being old either.. Mr. Wonderful

i just found out today that i do have a platinum series. very cool. i was looking over the old file and found all kinds of good stuff. so i guess its some kind of carbon fiber layup.. dont thinks its kevlar. Mr. Wonderful

Its carbon fiber, which is about 400 pounds lighter than a normal FG Cafe', and its strengths are deeper than kevlar per square inch . . carbon fiber will withstand occassional, LARGE hits better than kevlar will, but kevlar withstands sustained, more rapid fire barrages better than carbon fiber.

I ran 25p 3 bladers on my carbon fiber Cafe, and it had me spinning right at 5050 / 5100 . . for some reason, I'm having brain fade and I cant remember if they where Mirage or Bravo props :confused: :o

thanks for the info jamie, i wonder how many were made. dave

I'm not sure on exact production numbers Dave, but they are very small. My guess is between 15 and 25 total between Cafe's and Top Guns, but again this is only my guess. Craig Barrie or Scott would know for sure though.

Are you sure? That doesn't seem right. :rolleyes:. Our Carbon Fiber Top Gun is VERY light.

Have you weighed your TG ? Share with the class if you have. The 400 pounds applies to a Cafe, per Craig Barrie.

hey lucky, can you sell your rig like a year from now, can i put a deposit on it and you hold it for 12 months..i dont think that is too much to ask, do you?lol. you had to pm me right, now ill be like cuda and wont be able to sleep..your killing me bobby...maybe i can borrow some money from Mr. Wonderful...

Hey guys, We towed the boat home. The boats condition was better than we expected. Although the steering was way to tight and one engine(502EFI) takes a few seconds to fire up. The owner had to give it some throttle to fire up. Moisture was anywhere from 2 to 8 percent. Will probably add hydraulic Steering. Any suggestions on what brand? Thanks for all the help

Hey SL
Good talkin to ya today. Call John Richardson @757 971 2704 for the steering. Great system and Best price out there bar none!!! Tell him Dan sent ya.
Good luck with the boat.

Dan
