I'm about to get a new to me boat,been looking around seen some nice center consoles made by Cajun. I know they are not in production anymore but they look pretty nice.

I had a Cajun bass boat .The thing was tuff as a tank. Just check the bottom and transom over and if it looks good it will make you a good boat. All the valves and gauges and such can be bought.

I have a 1989 Rajun Cajun. It has been a great boat for me. It is a shame they went out of business...

We've had four of the Center Console Cajuns over the years. The Semi V is a ROUGH ride, but the Deep V is smooth on any type of water. There was a couple of years (Early 90's) that Cajun made a bad product in regard to the stringer/fiberglass. Look very closely before buying as they literally fell apart, had dry rot inside and were not made properly.

All in all a good CC if it has been taken care of.

Good Luck!

There were some transom issues at one time if I remember correctly. May want to google that, if memory serves it may have been the reason they went out of business. I always liked them.

Bought a bass boat new in 1981, it was a tough boat took a beating for 12 years on T-Bend. The hull and transom was solid as a rock.

I usually keep a boat 10 years. Kept my 94 Cajun CC for 15, because I liked it so well.The stringer problem mentioned above finally got the best of mine. I kept it in the shop when not in use or it would not have lasted that long.Soft spots in the floor is what to look for. They were great boats in my opinion.
