Getting the itch for an old hot rod boat. I like it differenct and rare. Seems like the Excalibur Cat and Chris Cat fit that bill(always loved them as a kid). I have seen them with Merc drives and the occasional Excalibur with the Kaama drives. Looking for some feedback on handling and performance with higher hp, I have access to twin 600hp power. I know there will be opinions, but I don't want a v bottom on this venture. Time for a Cat and need to handle medium water conditions.

I have found a few in the $20-$30k mark, turn key and ready. Hard to read the market as well.

Any feedback, experience, advice would be appreciated.

chris cat or any of the knock off copy of it .....safe easy to push

Not that many for sale! Also looking for one but as a total project.even counting the running ones, maybe 2 or 3 for sale right now i know of... Not all advertised as of today... Hard find id say! Good luck finding what you are looking for!

Easy to find, but no one wants to pony up the $$$ for a good one, and the ragged ones are priced hansomly

If restoring one, you know you ll be upside down when selling, so of course no one wants to pay top dollars for a full project. In that way, most selling total project ask too much...

And where do you find them if that is easy to find?

Chris Cat

They are not easy to find, but I have found a few. I think a turn key boat brings $20-25. Not looking to restore. Some guys are asking stupid money. I will keep searching.

ur right , some want stupid $$ w/o power, great predictable rides

i find them somewhat often you passed up on 2 of mine in the past, im going to look at one this weekend
