wow, thats pretty impressive .. Mike Fusco's old chris only managed 118 with 1500hp..152 thats magical....

Either way 120 + in a 25 year old baot is hauling Azz. Boat was way ahead of tis time.

Yo... you get that motor done yet? It's Jared... I miss Kick'n Back... I sent a couple people your way who called on my old ad. I'm sure they just chatted your ear off. I couldn't get them off the phone. I miss going fast... I'm stuck with a 40 Pacemaker and a fishing boat right now.

I have all the parts, cam, heads redone, block, just waiting for assembly now. Not really rushing I bought a 36 Spectre thats the only reason I'm selling the Chris Cat. I can sell it back to you if you want, haha.

My Chris was one of the later foam cored boats that weighed significantly less , was also stripped to bare essentials and had no waterlogged bulkheads which were balsa cored . Wet bulkheads could real thow your cg off , not to mention the weight wet wood adds . These boats were generally poorly built by Chris Craft , however a few were ringers ( compared to their general production ) and I believe mine was one of them .
The engines were class legal 500 inch Big Chiefs with all the best components spinning 7400 - 7800 rpm depending on prop selection for water conditions .
I had this hull gone through about a year ago and now need to get it rigged .

"31 Chris CAT. Will sell without power. #3 drives. In classifieds" Seen your post on "!!!31'Quest!!!" in wated. I reviewed your classified ad. I originally was look for a 31' Stepped V- hull and still am. But gave it great some thought today and haven't put together a fast cat in long time. So you sparked a interest! Like to know more about the power and drives. What type of finishing is in the cabin area? You can PM me at your convenience.
Thanks, NOLAPerformance

Fastest One, 133+ Off Ft Laud. Beach, "King Sting", Built/ Maintained then at Kieth Hazell/ Harbor1, Had Three Speed Trany(s)!!, "750"(s), #4-5(s) On Extension Boxes!!, Was Cool!!, Dangerouse for novice driver(s), Race Experiance a Must!!, I Personaly Ran It!!, It Was Race Layup Hull!!, Still Around!!....

These old Chris's have a certain stability at speed you don't have in a modern comparably sized boat .

Having drove both my Chris and Spectre, I agree. Both are stabil but each has a distinct feel of stability. Spectre+less power=Still fast Chris+more power fast (and old school cool). Still for sale.

Post details and pics of Chris . I may have a buyer .
Where is it advertised ?
