Default Chris Cat "how fast is too fast?"

I have a 85 Chris Cat for about a 1 1/2 now and and in the process of going thru 1 of the motors due to a broken cam
(468's with 177 blowers) My question is it will run in 90's now but I want to go bigger and faster, how fast can these old hulls go? Thanks.

I was wondering who got that boat, you got a deal. Good luck

About speeds, from what I've seen, 120 is often obtained....safely is up to the driver, and equipment.

Yes it was a deal. I had 1 motor break a cam and in the process of rebuilding it now but still a deal. I have a 28 V also but im hooked on cats now. I'm looking to get rid of them both to get something alittle bigger that will run 120 or so with more reliable power.

Cobra: Are you running #2's Speedmasters. If so you are probably about maxed out on that drive at 600 hp.
