Does anyone have any history of who owned or raced a 1985 30' Chris CAT with 4 outboards?? I believe the number was
P22 or P27, or might have been called ACR Spirits. I just purchased the boat and would like to know the history on it. Any help or direction would be great.

Don't know much about the boat, but I took this picture of it back in 1984 in Key West at the worlds..

The only 4 engine Chris Cat I ever saw was "Sick" Nick Casaula's....... and that wasn't a P boat.

The P class cu. in. rules only allowed three engines and ACR (Lance Ruble) only had 3 motors anytime I ever saw it.

T2x

T2x is correct. That boat only had 3 2.4's. The next owner might have rerigged it. Lance drove and I believe Bill Gazelle throttled. The boat was fast and was always a contender.

I saw that boat when it was for sale here in IL....it was rigged for 4 OB's...didnt it go out east and get repainted??? Black with silver flames or something?? Heres a few pics of it when i saw it. Pics suck for some reason...

few more...you can see its rigged for 4 OB's

Doing it's thing.........

Wally you are right the boat is black with flames I got it from a guy in upstate NY.It seems to be a solid boat.How did the boat look when you seen it in gel coat?And do you know who rigged it for the 4 OB's?Thanks for the info and pics

When i saw it it needed an update...it was still solid but weathered...it needed a new interior and at the very least a hardcore buffing......probably why they guy repainted it. No idea on any of the rigging

Hi, I don't know if you are still the owner of this boat, but I know who rigged it for four outboards, it was my dad. If you'd like to talk to him, let me know!
