That is so cool! About 20 years ago when I bought my Fountain, I really really wanted a Cafe Racer. I thought they were about the most beautiful boat on the water. After the restoration I see here, I about get that feeling again! Good job Carter's!

It looks like they do great work. I googled them and no real info came up on them...just a couple of articles but no info on their shop. Does anyone have a phone number? I purchased a '78 25' Martini Racing Sport and I would like to do a total restoration..considering the early Cigarettes and Martini's are the same hull..any info would be appreciated!

Yeah, they are seriously "underground," if that's the right word. No website. No Facebook page. I only learned that the company was an LLC through Google research.

Your best bet is to reach out a gentleman in this community who goes by the screen name of Buck. He was the one who reached out to me and said I should check out what Carter is doing.
