Default Your thoghts on Chris Cat....

I am in the market for a new boat and I have come across a 86 chris cat with SSM II's or III's, cant remember for sure. It is powered with 502's and seems to be in pretty much all original, but very well maintined.
The boat itself has ruffly 450 hrs. and the motors were in the 100 hour range. The price is $25k with trailer and he won't budge off it. I have yet to go see the boat in person but was intrested in some opinions on this boat, I have never owned a cat before...
Also I do like to sleep on my boat on occasion so I was wondering how is it for space down below, I am 6'3".

Thanks for the help!!!!

I see you're new here. Do a search, there's lots to read. LDD just sold a Chris Cat, he could definitely fill you in.

I would love a set, but right now I don't have the coin for that! My first goal is to fix up the trailer and update the boat, new paint, stereo, upholstry, then I will start throwing power to the beast!
