    The Cafe belongs to my Cigarette Brother from another mother,Chasin Cash. It is a really nice piece. Mark has been working dilligently on the refresh. I had to push a little fun when he was late on Mothers Day. Now if those new headers show up.....

    Carl, have you ever heard of a person with thier last living breath say, " Gee, I wish I had spent more time at the office" ?

    We are sure looking forward to running down to KW with you this year.

    He runs bravo 1s, 30 pitch, 5500, in the low to mid 80's. depends on the fuel load, people load, air temp. and water. Runs best with a little bump, 2-3's. We set ours up for cruise 57-60, as we run long distances up and down the coast of Fl. and the Keys. The whipple package is excellent.

    Very impressive! Sweet package. I just finished my paint project so this fall I will go through and freshen up my motors and I am going to add some new heads.I am shooting for 625hp and numbers in the low 80's. I just got my props back from BBlades, boat was doing 78mph last season so I am hoping for 79-80 in perfect conditions. Good luck with everything and have a great season!!
