Mike,
Have you talked to the owner?

I think that if you are serious, you need to go check it out. All of the feedback that you may get from this thread will be opinions only. Especially with the drives. You will not find a another Chris Cat with Arnesons, so opinions with any other combination are basically invalid. Nothing like seeing/experiencing the boat first hand.

I am in Michigan, I bought my Chris Cat three years ago, it is an outboard, twin 3.0 ProMax, 300HP each. It is a lot of fun and once you drive one you will never go back to V hulls. Mine was one of the last outboard racers built in 86 with an unfinished cabin. But the Cats with the finished cabins are real nice. The boats are very stable to 100-115MPH, inboard or outboard. After I bought it (it was my first also) I found a lot of help, all the questions I had to have answered were.

Im going to try and work on getting the one in the OSO class.
