Even my old, heavy, water-logged, non-step Cafe has walked away from a couple "high-tech" Chris Crafts
As for a 28' Velocity with a 502 crate motor...most people I boat with would be too proud to be seen in one of those...but hey...as my sister once said, "any port in a storm". Cool boat, thanks for the pics!!! Will call you when I sell my pontoon!!!

I am so happy you had the opportunity to at least have met a girl ONCE!!! and the only cafe was the Denny's that was open after the bars close so you could feed your face with more!!!!! as for trailers it sounds like you know more about them than I dooooo!!!!!
OH and for the washing clothes I would be afraid of what ---- marks I would find in your pants.

86 is a raised style deck. Nice boat. I had one. A few serious issues to watch for. The deck design allows water to pool at the point where the cowling desends and meets the deck. Very poor design. Drain holes should have been designed like for the hatches of a TG. Check for rot.
The bulkhead between the v-berth and bench side seats is also a contingent weak area. Make sure you check the area where the liner is attached to the stringers underneath the bench seat storage compartments). Check for cracks (spider fractures).
The boats also exhibited some weakness in the engine compartment where the bulkhead (firewall or liner) is attached to the hull (rear seat area).
Good luck.
