sure looks like it but the scoops are a newer addition. I wonder if the owner knows it history. We hurt that thing pretty bad on Georgian Bay one snotty afternoon. She twisted so bad that about 15 ffet of strbd and 10 feet of port rub rail and all the screws "shot" out of the hull. Broke a bulkhed loose too.
It was really rough, I mean should not be out here rough.

Love those Cafes! Seaford, how did your boat do all year? Did you ever see what your GPS top speed was for your boat? Hope to see you on the water soon.

Well - boat did as well as could be expected. Fought a constant small leak into the bilge and narrowed it down - I think both my swivel seals are leaking so I am going to pull both engines this winter to replace, and I might go ahead and pull the gimbal assemblies off, have them blasted, repainted, etc...... depending on condition.
Fastest I have ever seen on the boat was 72 or so on the HRPA Poker Run in some nice chop - FULL fuel load, FULL liquor load, FULL beer load, Full clothing load so I was pleased. Really a testament to the fact that those flatbottoms are faster in 3's than in 1's. We were supposed to have a full boat but had some back out at the last minute - I would have seen if you wanted to ride if it wouldn't have been so last minute.

Not the one that was recently for sale here. I saw that one too but that one did not have the scoops and Larry's boat for sure went to Japan about 2 years ago.

I'm always there if someone wants or needs a deckhand that has some gas money for a ride, especially since mine was down. And for the record, the 2007 HRPA PR dock party saw me awake (and able to talk) the entire night! So the "little" incedent with me checking out early at the Ocean Marine PR party was not the norm! Of course, it helped that there was a nice boat babe that wanted to see the sun rise and talked non-stop to keep me awake!

Slow day at the office, so another for us Cafe guys.
This one was down in Houston at beginning of year when we first started looking. Not sure of status now.
91 Hawk w/ 572's in non running state, interior in rough shape. Wife & l liked the graphics better on this one but had too many warning signs to stay away.

Did you buy that boat a couple years ago? I think I almost bought it back in 03 before I found our gun. I remember the pink motors. Wife liked it:sifone:

We bought the Cafe in April. We wanted Grimmy's Top Gun in Vegas but at the time was just out of our reach.

Sharp Boat - I can't wait to redo my interior.
Maybe if I can swing it in the spring we'll see.....
