If that is not a runner for post of the year right there I have no idea what is!

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!

Sorry for the bad info on the party man! It was pouring rain and blowing like crazy so we stayed inside. You went home a day too early Monday was a blast and we had crab legs, clams and steaks at the beach. Even broke out the daiquiri whacker!

Great riding boat and a lot of space.

That was it then...

Cafés won't do 55 in 6 footers. That's just simply bull****. It's a 35 foot boat not a ****ing aircraft carrier.

A 6 footer is 12 feet peak to valley......

Remember when cigarette Sam would make all these comments that made it sound like he'd been in the sport for decades......

Seafordguy I thought a wave was measured from the bottom of the trough to the top of the peak ?

Here's what 30mph looks like in REAL 5 footers.... The quote is also real (but after we got to the dock).

Also, when we have done 50 in 5 footers, the cabin looks like a disaster area afterwards. Cushions EVERYWHERE. No one would have survived in there.
