Default Cigarette Cafe Racer

I am looking for any input, pro's/con's on the Cafe Racer's. I am looking to purchase my first high performance boat.

Built solid and great in rough water. There are a few very nice updated Cafes out there right now.

Awesome rough water boats, never the fastest but great ride and most can be bought for a great value. A lot of people (me included) want a top gun, so demand is a little lower holding the price in check.

I enjoyed the one I had. They are slow with stock power. Mine was a 420 trs boat. It ran about 63

This one has 710hp merlin engines with konrad 540 outdrives. It appears to be in good condition for a 89.

Erik's boat. With a new carbon dash. You can not go wrong with a Cafe. It will still be cruising along in rough water, when the others have slowed down or stayed at home.
