chris cat in big water
hi,
I'd like to know if these cats (even don't know for the others) are suitable for open salt water navigation as i can only see guys who use it on lake... and what would be their performance then, compared to a vee..

They used to race them in the ocean. Most with 600 hp small blocks.
The modified record was about 116. Those boats and newer cats can do amazing things given the proper inputs. The big cats now days will run in pretty much anything. Your good sense and abilities will likely find limits before the boat will. Ideas of big water and comfort differ of course.

Probably the best rough water cat design of its size. I raced one for many years in the Pro-Stock class, and when we were in really big water the boat was awesome and very forgiving. I would like to find an inboard "project" boat at some point in the future.

They were great back in the day. The Chris Cats and Shadow Cats handled the rough water much better than the early Skaters. I always wondered where ours went. We sold it in Mamaroneck, NY around 1994. Last I heard it went to LOTO.

We actually sold "Duckin' Out" to your dad. I resold it for him out of our Mamaroneck location to a guy who kept it in Greenwich, and then I think it wound up in LOTO. That boat was for sure the best looking Chris-Cat ever done. I would love to get my hands on that boat again! Say hi to your dad for me. I have to get to the Black Duck one day soon.

Like Chris said, there is a seat at the bar for you. I see you are now in Norwalk. He is getting docks put in this summer for "Dock & Dine." Come on over!
