Just bought '91 Cafe Racer
A couple of weeks ago I bought a 1991 Cafe Racer, fulfilling a lifelong dream of owning a Cigarette. It's got 540s, A/C, and a genset. Needs a swim platform, some tweaks to the cooling system, and some good detailing.
Day of purchase
twin 540s
Maiden voyage

Thanks! I like the mostly white too.
Originally was sold to someone in England, came back to the US a few years later, then was a Great Lakes boat until 2012 or so. Prior owner brought it to Florida then, and had the 540s built in 2014. Due to a combination of factors, only 23 hours on the motors when I bought it last month.
Unfortunately it's got Bravos. I am pretty conservative when it comes to running boats, so I am hoping to make them live a while.

Congrats and welcome to the club. Great looking classic. Keep it in the water and the Bravos will live......for a while. Everything breaks eventually. Enjoy it, the ride will be awesome
