Thanks Randy....keep looking, it won't be much longer I'll be posting some more. I'm hoping to get my other engine in next week. If everything goes as planned she will get her first run on Friday sat......I'm for sure going to send out one of the choppers for some aerial footage!

Cobra100+ 08-10-2013 01:37 PM

Helicoper footage.......hell yea! Will you have a chopper at the run in Sept also?

Third break in test run on Sunday, 174 miles turning 4000 to 4800 RPM. It ran awesome. 75 -80 MPH. Next run I'll be driving through the gallop and turning them muthas on up. We shall see what happens!

wannabe 09-10-2013 02:30 PM

your running at the worst speed right now. when you hit around 90 she is going to want to run. I was there for all the Chris Cats back in the day (my dad was VP and then President during those days). the biggest battle with people with these cats is getting them to let them run. they are great running boats but they only like to run around 95+ and they love rough water. yours looks great, you have done a beautiful job keeping a classic cat alive.

Hey comp....thanks for the input. I can't wait to turn her loose. Did you guys ever run a ttab? Im so looking forward to letting her go. I'll take all the thoughts and knowledge you have if you would share it with me. Thank you again for your kind words and interest in my cat!

bulletbob 09-11-2013 08:15 AM

I'm glad to hear everything is going well for you. I like the clean looks with the simple accent stripes. The cat has great lines and graphics. If not tastefully selected they can detract form the classic lines. it looks like it's doing 100 sitting still. The fun begins at 100 for the bigger cats when they air out. We are toying with the idea of coming to Moorehead for the run. I hope we can make it. Enjoy!

Bob

Cobra100+ 09-11-2013 10:45 AM

Timmy, let me know if you decide to go with a tunnel tab, I never had one it but had considered it. I have one on my 36 now and am considering removing it.
