This boat has always been owned by the same guy. He has some pics of it being built.

The parts on the motors are worth that.

I have an awesomecat with 3 motors
Set them low enough & they will run forever.

If not you can buy a complete 2.5 block for under 4k

Interesting :party-smiley-004:

The motors are 2.4's (I think)

Bill Amidon's boat was a Chris Cat, not a Shadow. This thing is in Stamford, CT. If memory serves me, the owner's name is Skip. Man, it looks ROUGH! Shame to see a boat let go to that extent.

Interior is rough, but looks complete enough to make new covers.

2.4 not strong enough, but you could always sell them & buy 2.5 efi 200hp for a little more. They would fit on the mids.
you have 3k in the lowers alone.

Dont like the right side seating but still only 8k.
If I did not already have one, I would be on this one.

Heavy boats but were solid & great in rough water. Would run strong in the great lakes.

Interesting buy & still does not look to bad.
My 2 cents :kiss:

X1 as long as the boat is solid. Seems like it needs a GOOD cleaning, check motors and interior and trailer for who ever needs. Just the steering is close to what he's asking.

I am sure someone will spend alot of money but for about 30K, it would be nice.

Not many with three motors.
I just dont think they run well with the 2.4s, just not enough tork,hp.

Change the 3 powerheads to 2.5 then it would run.
3l would be better but then you need to change mids, lowers wing plates etc, then price starts getting high.

my 2cents

Dont forget oil & fuel cost :lolhit:

I think skip said it ran around 75

First time I have seen seating on the right? not crazy about that.

Are they horn motors? Would love to see them without covers?

Must be heavy, wonder what she weighs?
Still would make more money on selling parts.

If I had space for more boats, I would probably buy it.
Like I need another project :angry-smiley-038:

75mph, not bad but with the 2.4, gas must be ouch!

Mine with the efi promax, run great & great on gas.
Still would sell the 2.4 & get 2.5efi.

Been running the 2.5 promax, x3 for about 5 years and never had trouble with them.
Only issue, watch the water pressure,,,
again, my 2cents:party-smiley-004:
