Sorry i cant help, but sure looks like a nice and clean boat!
Behind my head, im still struggling with the idea of redoing an old cat or someday buy lets says a low budget more actual cat, like a motion, spectre or anything else like that... I always come back thinking those old cat were not, to my knowledge, slower or less quality built than the more actual cat... Don,t know if im wrong or not, but im still looking for the right project cat, not too far from home!

Keep us updated with your project, interested in following your tread! Not too late to give yourself a nice chrismas gift!!!

The interior looks like a vicious cat title says aero tech shadow cat but can't really find any info on it I guess some one had the molds for a little bit, it is still owned by the church, by the research I have done it has a little bit of American offshore hull and deck and with vicious interior and dash thanks for all your help

No, that was Aero Marine, they are referring to Aerotek.

the chris cat & shadow molds went to lots of builders
in that era
the chris cat hull has a wider flat pad/sponsom on bottom at transom than the shadow cat hull did
which made hull a tad wider than shadow
chris cats were designed for BBs
and shadow for SBs/O/Bs
the vicious in the ebay add u can see the wide pad on bottom sponsom
so that pad width will tell u which hull it is
good boats for their time,,,,,thick and heavy
good lookin boat ,,,with surface drives will turn some heads
not as fast as hulls today but handles ruff good for the size
