If cafe prices stay as is. I might just end up with one even though I want a CC next lol. Lot of great deals out there right now.

I will say if you are going Cig, might as well go cafe, great deals right now and in all honesty the cafe with the same motors is the same speed as the bullet with equal power if not faster. The weight of the bullet and the cafe are actually quite similar. You will not be disappointed in the extra 4 feet.

So after 8 hours of driving, the first Cafe I checked out is not the one for me. I guess I am spoiled by the boats on my freshwater lake.

I did however get a nice written warning from a State Trooper that I can keep to commemorate my day. 82 in a 65 while eating a Wendy's chicken sandwich is apparently frowned on by some law enforcement officers.

8 hours ??? What was so wrong with the boat?

I went and looked at the boat for short money in CT. It isn't that the boat is in bad condition, but it is a saltwater boat and it shows. For that area it may be that it is in good condition, but I am spoiled by my freshwater lake and my freshwater Formula, so it just wasn't for me.

What I realized is that I will need to spend more money to get what I want, which is fine with me, but I wanted to at least give that boat a look. There are a couple more to choose from if I up my budget, but I do know I will need a freshwater boat to be happy and I am willing to pay for that.
