As for why I made the switch, it’s not really a switch it’s more like an addition. I've always wanted to be rolling with a "1" on the side and I was holding out of a T/S Gun but this one came along at a price I couldn't let slide. I also had a 83 33' Sonic SS which is a much heavier boat than all the CC's I’ve had and that's what my wife compares the ride to now and there is really no comparison the sonic was like a Cadillac. I figured the Top Gun will be something she'll be happy in if we're out and the seas pick up.
My first plan for the Cafe was to get it and flip it but after I saw the potential with the Grey one sitting next to it I'm reconsidering. But as they say everything is for sale. If someone likes it when I'm done I'll sell and look for the Gun.

I only know what was told to me over the phone. i was looking at it back when i was looking for a TG or Cafe. Talked to the place selling it (hotheadz marine) & just didnt get a good feeling from the dealer. Wouldnt tell me anything about the engines other than all the parts were there, just needed to be put together. We couldnt come together on a price & i really didnt want a true project boat. so i passed.

Tomba, the '90 Cafe I picked up in October has the same paint job (less the Hawk), slightly diff colors. I'd never seen that before. Looking forward to changing mine as mine's got "Miami Vice" colors.
Good luck with your new Cafe!
