I think your right Puder.

A Chris Cat is not an AO, nor could you call an AO a Chris Cat. They are from 2 different companys from 2 different era's, with one thing in common. The AO came from the origional Chris Cat mold and has had some refinements over the years.

i wasn;t saying that an AO was indeed a chris cat just atht iot was based on eth chris cat design, the 3100 that is.

Scott from AO (the owner) was the one who told me the 3800 was a brand spankin new design. I didn't ask about the 3100 though...

Puder you are right, it is and all I was trying to get across is that because it looks simular, dosen't mean someone calls it the same. Kind of like some non boaters calling all V-hulls a Cigarette boat. This one kills me. If it goes over 35 mph and does not look like a pontoon they call it a speed boat.

Heeey! how did 29 scarab change his original post title from AO to Chris Cat.

How do the Chris Cat's drive and handle?

I know they were leaders in the offshore catamaran ranks. The 1986 Jesse James was a Chris Cat wasn't it?

My recollection is these boats are fairly wet up until about 35 mph and then really packed air.

Boating magazine did a comparison test, 2 30' CC's w/ identical power 400 hp 454's one a Cat and the other a deep v. The cat was faster of course, but I don't remeber the details.
