Anyone know this Cafe Racer?
 

Anyone have the scoop on this Cafe Racer? It has new paint as of last year so you may not recognize it. It was brokered out of TNT in Miami about 2 years ago for the owner from New Jersey. It needs hydraulic steering, engines have about 250 hours each. What would you offer?

Is that the boat that had the red stripe on it that was there for ever?

Idk, I haven't seen what it used to look like, was just giving the facts that I did know and that if any remembered it from TNT it wouldn't have looked like that.

Re: Anyone know this Cafe Racer?
 

i remember tnt had one there for a while that had a red stripe on it that if i'm not mistaken it had rotten transome and it needed a lot of work, i don;t know if this is it. at the time i think they wanted like 30 something for it. i'm sure if you look up old thread it will pop up, but i must say this is one nice looking cafe

You guys are wrong about it being the boat from TNT. That Cafe with the red stripe was an 87 with 420 Merc's and TRS's. This boat is a '91 with 500's and Bravos.

I had the pleasure of riding on this boat (the one for sale) at the Shootout last august and drove it for nearly an hour. It is a very nice boat and I would be honored to own it! I will tell you this...he turned down an offer of 80K, it's not a fire sale!!

Re: Anyone know this Cafe Racer?
 

It's super nice and maybe one of the nicest i have seen. Us Oklahoma boys only have the nice stuff :D

Re: Anyone know this Cafe Racer?
 

Really a nice looking Cafe...I wouldn't mind trading up for it, just not sure how to get the wife to agree :D

Re: Anyone know this Cafe Racer?

I think Craig has the Scoop on all the Bullets out there and most of the Cafe's and TG's :D

Re: Anyone know this Cafe Racer?
 

Is this one also done by the OSO member from OK that has totally restored a couple of cigs the last few yrs? I believe one was a Bullet with about the same colors.

Maybe he wants a 32' Fountain for even up trade. I think I could do that. :p

Re: Anyone know this Cafe Racer?
 

I might even consider swapping my 34' Super Hawaii on that one. :cool: :drink:
Nice looking boat.

Re: Anyone know this Cafe Racer?
 

What do you mean the E dock boys know about that boat? And where can I find them?

Re: Anyone know this Cafe Racer?
 

post it in their section..........LOTTO / E-Dock :cool:

Re: Anyone know this Cafe Racer?
 

I believe that one with the Red Stripe ended up looking like this ............

Re: Anyone know this Cafe Racer?
 

A good friend of OldSchool and mine has rebuilt alot of Cigarettes. He kinda "rescues" them from places and rebuilds them to modern specs. He does an incredible job. His name is Kevin and he will give you the full scoop on the history of the boat. He is very fair and honest about pricing. Definitely knows his Cigarettes and their values. Call the number in the ad to talk to him. If Kevin built it, it's the best you'll find.

Re: Anyone know this Cafe Racer?
 

that is my all time favorite cafe

Re: Anyone know this Cafe Racer?
 

It's not the Cafe with the rotted transom, neither is the one in post #18.

It looks similar to some of the boats Midwest Power Boats re-did. If that is the case, Kevin & Shawn Heiliger are top-notch to work with and have done some incredbile Cigarette restorations. Thier website is down, but I think I read here recently they are still in business.

Re: Anyone know this Cafe Racer?
 

The 91 cafe has about the nicest grafics that I have seen. If I were in the market, that one would be near the top of the list.
I like some other cabin layouts better.

Very Nice Cafe Racer

Re: Anyone know this Cafe Racer?
 

About two years ago we had two boats with a red stripe, this Cafe and a Top Gun missing one engine. This Cafe had Merc 500HP carb motors that were installed new and the previous owner had only run it a few times before problems with his back prevented him from boating at all. He stored it for year and sent it to us to sell. It was a nice boat with no problems and definitely no transom issues. I sold the current owner a cafe before this one with supercharged engines, so this is his second Cafe. He obviously did a fine job updating this boat. It has merc 500s's which is rare to find in a Cafe, has the newest style upholstery and cabin layout, and good paint. It looks like a value to me. It would be easy to spend in excess of $60,000. to update engines, paint, and upholstery to this caliber in a lessor boat.
