I was going out the Shark River inlet yesterday and saw this Cafe Racer. Nice boat. Based on the drives and pipes it looks pretty stock and pretty tame. Anyone here recognize it?

There were at least two cafes built with that paint. At one point both were in Southern California
One was owned by Larry guillen and had big power. Pretty sure it sold over seas though.
the other (I think is this one) was in San Diego owner would let it sit in the water for long periods of time though and the drives and all hardware on transom was pretty destroyed abd it was fairly beat up. Looks like it’s had a restore or at least cleaned up. Had 502’s in it if I recall right.

One of them was in Houston for a while when we still lived there owned by a friend of mine Blaine Gober who sold it some years back but it had a platform and a hawk on the side of it.

this was has been in Belmar, NJ shrink-wrapped on that lift for years. The drives were painted red I think. Given they are black and its the first time Ive seen it not in shrink wrap, maybe they did a restore?
