370ss500efi, my friend, ill captain the formula while you zip around on the cafe. Anytime, free of charge, because I'm generous.

I'm pretty sure they come with the boat, at least all the brochures lead that direction!!! Right up until you get married, now only "guys" wknds can such a crew be assembled.

look for cracking on the
1. inside corners of the helm.
2. cracks on chines infront of helm

look at the lag bolt on the tab... if it looks to have coup, 5200, etc you should be good. if there isnt any, personally id walk away... unless the price is right of course lol

i love the looks of the cafes. TG are dimes a dozen, like previously said... they wont set the lake on fire... but they will draw alot of attention and your wife wont be pissed from getting bounced around!

a little help to persuade you to buy one... heres a little story

labor day this year we were running my cafe, only had 420's and TRS's. the weather was awful but the boat was in the water, and there was word of a big beach party down river a ways. so we loaded up the cig, my girlfriend, my brother, little cousin, and 2 dogs... and headed out to the beach. we ended up turning around cause the weather got so nasty and knew obviously there wasnt going to be a party... once running home the wind turned and we were running 5-6 footers at 55mph in pouring rain. everyone including the dogs was in the cabin for the 30 minute run home... once we got home everyone said "that was quick" and had no complaints or anything about slowing down or getting bounced around...

hope you enjoy your cafe! their awesome boats!

Another word of advice, don't believe any of that ^^^^ the boat barely broke 55 wide open with 2 people in it.

Well this guy can do 55 in 10 footers while not spilling his smart water so it sounds legit.....

It's the "in the cabin" part that got me. Just ask Nick how he liked doing 50 in our Cafe's cabin over well spaced 5' rollers off Point Judith...

Thats what I was thinkin... fuk being in the cabin during that ride, most likely actually 2-3's if people were in cabin.... or very stupid.....My Mistress don't kite like a Cafe and nobody would be in my cabin on that ride, come to think of it I don't ever have anyone in the cabin at ANY time, to me it's unsafe they don't know and cant see whats going on, guess it's just my thing...
