there was a guy who had an all white one for sale out there about 2 years ago for sale on ebay. he had a link to video posted on his ebay ad.

 

The white one may be one of them. the other has an American flag paint job.

Wild thing: is that Irish Mist in Michigan?

HMMMMMMMMMMM. Stepped Hull..

 

Stepped hull is no suprise.

Skaters, Motions, MTI's all the good cats have stepped hulls.

The last year that i know of that Chris Cats were made was 1987. Don't recall seeing a stepped hull on them.

There was a 1986 in this area years ago. I think it was a 32 ft. Didn't have a stepped hull..

 

The Chris Cat is a 31' hull similar to the Shadows. They were designed by George Linder and both designs had steps. If you saw a 32' it was not a Chris Cat. The molds were sold to American Offshore who still builds them today. It was a design ahead of it's time. I agree they were only built from 84- to 87 and only about 75 were built. The Shadows were built for OB's and small blocks only. The sponsons were widened for Big blocks on the Chris Cat.

Good point That is what I was thinking it would be to old for a step

see that I learned some thing new to day. IT was ahead of its time

 

Horsepower; Those Chris Cats were ahead of their time in terms of design. In addition to being fast they ride great in the rough stuff.

did awesomeand or american offshore use the molds chris craft did????

I have boat races on dvd from 84 when the chris cats first hit the water

 

Awesome did not use the CC molds (to the best of my knowledge), American Offshore 31 IS the CC mold.

see post # 13.

For real history on this go to www.offshoreonly.com do search under George Linder

Here endeth the lesson

 

This is a 1985 Wellcraft cat with step .Nothing new there :winker:

That is one sweet boat :bigsmile: I like how they made the rear seat cover removable.

 

The Chris Cats, & Shadows were way ahead of there time, its to bad that "they" didn't continue their work (death of one of the designers), who knows what we would have to day. All the Chris cats have the steps, somewhere I heard they built About 250 of them but I'm not sure about that. The American flag boat looks great.

 

python also used the same mold for 89 i believe
