Café Racer are not lake racer !! Nearly every RIB with outboards is faster. Cafes are wave crasher !! And in realy big waves 72 is always enough )

Thanks Cafe Man... I forgot that the 36 Outlaw plug was taken from the old 35 Cig...and those are about the same performing.
Broker hit me back last night... this is what he said...
The refit/restoration was started in 2011 and finished in 2012.
Motors were rebuilt by a shop in Pompano Beach. The owner owns a yacht painting business and completed the cosmetics. Drives, batteries, controls and most of the mechanical/ electrical is new. This was all done professionally, not a home depot DIY job. The boat will cruise anywhere from 50-62 mph, top end 73-74 mph. He tuned & dyno'd the engines not to be maxed out. Hours are about 35-40. Interior is silver. Trailer is available.
Of course something of this age range would need a survey but was hoping that someone really went through the boat meaning not just cosmetics. As my mom used to say about that "Glamour Shots" place "A lil powder and a lil paint will make ya what you really ain't".
I'm not big on the motors...scare me a little from the "looks" of them, would have expected with all the details of the boat to have them cleaner looking...pullies etc. Looks like a really nice boat though, just wish FL was closer to TX to just go check it out.
