PROPS - CAFE 35

I am running two stroked bulldogs (4.5 X 4.75 stroke) and Arizon Speed and Marine, Merlin heads etc, EFI - Motors where build by Gellner Marine and est. 615 HP -

National Marine lost my Props and gave me a set of 25 Mirages (RRRRRIGHT) so I looking for a good starting point to prop it - I do recall running 29's Mirage but not sure and hit 73 at 5250 RPM but I think the boat has more Grunt that that - Do you think 30 Bravos is too much prop?? anyone out there with a CAFE running similar HP (1.5 gearing) should I go with 28 Bravos ???? Help

GO

Re: friend's Cafe project
 

Looks great! Can't wait to see it in person this summer.

Re: friend's Cafe project
 

I run a cafe with 540hp motors at about 73mph at 5200rpm throw old TRS drives on 24p four bladed hydromotive they seem to work the best for me. I run some 26p bravos four bladed and went slower and at little more RPM

sweet paint work, where did the cig battery box covers come from? what does an exterior only paint job like that cost? that is the hottest lookin cafe i've ever seen, good job, ratman

Re: friend's Cafe project
 

that is one awesome looking boat. Your friend has done that poor boat justice...i remember looking at it when before i bought mine...glad to see it being brought back to better than new!

Re: friend's Cafe project
 

Vincent painted the Battery Boxes and Fire Extinguishers as well. -

I dont think this is the boat from TNT, - I bought it last June from Oklahoma, - started looking at it last March.. Before then, - it spent a few years in Arkansas and at some point it was from Florida. We could see the old registration name and FL numbers when the paint was stripped.. You could also see the salt water wear on the drive bolts, - had to replace them as well.

still waiting on the backseat and I think he is doing some cockpit carpet as well.

Re: friend's Cafe project
 

Well, I guess we now know what a Cafe would look like if they were still making them....NICE!

BigDaddy96 I recently bought this boat. I have been searching on here for some history and finally stumbled across your thread. I wanted to see what café it was before the restoration. I also was interested in some history. The boat is still in very good shape, I have been doing some small things to get it up to my standards but overall still looks great. It has been repowered with a couple of 572 naturals and konrad drives. Tell your friend he did a first class job and I intend to keep it that way.

My god!!!!! That has to be the prettiest cafe I've ever seen!!!!! Vincent does do great work he has also done my bullet... Who did the interior if you don't mind? I'm looking to do my bullet
