Selling my 1985 Chris Cat due to builder not being able to finish assembling other motor and too many other boats/projects. Good paint, decent roadworthy triple axle steel trailer, cabin, interior new 2 years ago, full cover, SSM 2 drives, 3 blade cleavers, full hydraulic steering, and much more. Boat went low 90's with old power (468's with 177 blowers/625hp). $16k. 1 engine is fresh (8 hrs) in boat and 1 is fresh from machine shop needs assembly. New gaskets, cam, lifters, timing chain, billet TC cover included, only need rings and bearings to buy. Please make sure you have permisson from your wife, girlfriend, (or both), parents, bank or whatever you need. SERIOUS ABLE BUYERS ONLY! Thanks

Glad everything went smooth. I can't wait to see it "updated" I am going to try to make it down, save me a couple of spots on the house boat! Lol. Keep me updated on the progress guys. Thanks again, gotta go clean up my bike:)

Im enjoying my project. Should be up and running in a couple months. Or not....I cant seem to stop working on it, it has become an obsession! Should be a sweet ride after im done.

What inspired you to replace the transom? Did you find some rot? I had the pipes and all out numerous times (way too many) and all the foam coring seemed solid everywhere . The rear seat bulkhead yea that was a good idea to do. Looks like you are doing a great job on it, I cant wait to see her back on the water. Got the motor back together yet? I still need to get with you, I found ther cockpit cover for it.

She was rotten as a turd, the gimbals had corroded and pushed out the gaskets......she's been that way for a long time. The stringers are like new,no moisture whatsoever. But that stern was so bad I raked most of it out with a claw hammer. Feels really good to have it fresh! The one engine disassembled is now back together, I took both engines to Chris Bowers and had him go through them......he knows his ****. I replaced the crank with a standard, it had been turned down too much....Chris should be starting on the other engine this coming week. Hopefully you can Make it to the grandprix on the 16 th of sept. I'll be flying the race but will be out at Jacks sat night having cold beers. Hope to see ya there.
