My wife keeps hinting at buying a boat, and I do love Chris Crafts but it is just bad timing. I’d love to own this boat… Good luck man! ---

So is this more like a collectors boat as far as pricing goes? ---

1. Who needs different props to go faster?! 99 on the water must feel like MACH 3 on land! 2. This sounds like the perfect boat for the beginner mariner. 3. Could I waterski with this boat? ---

Yes, making 400hp per motor instead of 700hp makes a lot of sense! Btw , this was covered under insurance :tup: ---

Looks like fun, since there’s under 65 and over 65 mph classes. Last I read, the pace boat for the over 65 mph class had a pair of supercharged big blocks @ 1100 hp each. Somewhere on their website they said one of the boats in the run (maybe the pace boat?) tops out at 153mph. Weee! ---

Side thread: The Poker run to go see around WNY is up in Alex Bay the first weekend of August… the Kingston Ontario Poker run… There’s going to be one hell of a show-down between 2 boats this year; Aquamania and My Way IV. Both are 200+ MPH Turbine powered Mystic C5000R Cats. The boats they have for that run are INSANE; I know My Way IV is going to be one of the worlds fastest cats (it just rolled out of the factory in early June), and Aquamania has held/holds a few records itself. Plus that weekend in Alex Bay is beyond an unbelievable fun time. I’m going to miss going this year. ---

Hum… 200 bucks for half an evening of fun… plus dock fees of course. Just noticed it’s a tri axle trailer too, you know the weight of the boat/trailer? Just curious ;p and aren’t there filters on the intakes to prevent it from sucking shit up? 😛 ---

The hot to go racing boat has twin twin supercharged big blocks that push around 1200 or so hp each? It is somewhere in the 150+ mph club and usually does all the poker runs in the area from what I hear. ---

It is somewhere in the 150+ mph club and usually does all the poker runs in the area from what I hear. not sure what boat that is but a lot of poker run boats are around that power level. Mercury has just recently come out with a 1350 HP motor. I know a 42 fountain poker run boat with 1200sci’s runs around 140. ---

What the hell is that orange/red cat that I see all the time around the east river? I still don’t know a whole lot about boats, but that thing just looks nasty. :tup: Sorry to go OT in this thread, but I don’t think there’s much of a market for a $50k boat here anyway. Besides, a little speed boat talk might help people understand why $50k is a great price for this boat, or that it’s a hobby where 350 cubic inches is child’s play… [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/1985-30ft-cris-craft-cat-boat/157494.md?page=1) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/1985-30ft-cris-craft-cat-boat/157494.md?page=3)
