wnelles - do you knw or remember the S/N of the '96?
I'm trying to figure out how close my boat is to "last".
I am intrigued by the paint on the '96 you posted. I understand my boat looked similar before Mitcher T "brightened it up" with color and more rays. We also painted the transom to match the sides.

Here is the hull id from the boat: C R T U S C 0 6 G 5 9 6

I was going to have Mitcher T do "something" with mine also, but ended up selling it. I really like what you have done with the boat since buying it from Todd. There is also a all white 97 Cafe in Monroe owned by Mark Brettschneider.

So from your S/N, it would appear that there were at least 6 1996's produced. The picture you attached of a 1997 model is a real eye opener as I have always heard that '96 was the end of production. It seems that Monroe MI is really a popular home for Cafes!
