Keep the Cafe the way it is Dave. Low 80, N/A is a great accomplishment. If you want, buy another set of TRS drives even though odds are you won't have many headaches. Save the money to pimp out a Gun.

Re: 35 Café Ride & Handling.

Back to the topic at hand, I'm with Dan and Nick. I think a Cafe would give a great ride in a great looking boat without breaking the bank. Also, like them, I don't care to push 90+, I wan't a good ride that will hit 70, and I'm good to go.

Hey Dan, we don't get an offer for a ride?? :(

Re: 35 Café Ride & Handling.

And Stecz, I wouldn't throw more power at the Cafe, there aren't many Cafe's that are going to outrun 80. Once you get that fast, the cost to go any faster at all goes up exponentially! If you need to go faster than that, you might want to think about a cat money wise.

Re: 35 Café Ride & Handling.

shut up old man. im all twisted up in the game......lol...... im just saying, the trs is a much better set up than the bravo, and would toy with the idea to put blowers on the rig. everyone i speak to has a different twist on it. if i put blowers on it, i have to step up to konrad, or #3s. if i keep it the way it is, trs is fine as long as i have some spares laying around. instead of insulting me how bout some of your wisdom. old grumpy man.....

Bravo guy here. My boat ('90) requires no tabs at all - I hardly ever use them. These boats were made for more weight in the back than a Bravo provides. I rode in an '87 with speedmasters the other weekend - he used trim all the time. BTW - I run 30p Bravo 1s, and see about the same cruise/rpm that Sean mentioned.
