I like 7:1 on a crankbait I can slow down and still pick up line need on top and when using a jerkbait

Best money I have ever spent!! I took measurements, I picked up 50 feet on my cast of my spinnerbait rod... Denali Kovert MH 7'2" . Is a jig rod but I like it for spinnerbaits. Made my Shimano Caenan go from great to sick! What I did notice is how much smoother, less backlashes and when I did backlash they are way easier to get out. I am new to bait casters, only 2 years into using them and this just made my life so much easier!

If I was gonna keep it I think I wou go get aluminum deck welded in

Your gonna get looks... Which is good? Cuz it's not about what you drive it about what you weigh in ! Your gonna be odd man out, the non normal..... But that's good cuz when you do good your going to be remembered! Being different rocks! Run what ya brung and then bring it the big fish fish to the scales! Tight lines buddy!

91 bass cat pantera 2 w/200 V-pro .. 52 gal, 120 miles tops, and I would be on fumes. 180.00 to fill if I ran it hard on a tournament day. If not could squeeze 160 off both tanks.

They are supposed to be super stable boats. They have great rep for stable and shallow running. I have considered a bay cat for myself but I don't like the no closed and lockable storage.

Lews has excellent customer service I will brag on them all day! I hear you have to buy there tournament series and up .... Like DVT said 125 and above is pretty good stuff. I think as said above it starts to come down to small things that you like more or less.

I live here in there about 6 miles from the the plant... Yes! Rick is signed in to a long term deal. Now don't know all the details, but my next new boat was to be a cat as I am BCB guy. So I have been digging deep! It sounds as not much has or is to change, rick will still see things as he has run it as normal. That has been my understanding so far. If I get anything different I will pass it along. I know a few folks at BCB including Rick, so I am trying to get info before I invest in a product after this change. As long as Rick is around I don't expect anything different from them. Only time will us.

Looks really good! congratulations nothing like new foam for the butt and back!

I was saddened by the news.... I live just 6 miles from the plant, I know some of the folks, I have seen that place grow, same with ranger and Legend. I seen legend from its start, now on there 3 building and a nice place. Now hearing this after hear Ranger sell out again... I am glad they are not moving for now, I hope it stays that way, but I sure hope BCB doesn't change and go down the tubes like Rager did in customer service. Ranger used to be so nice, now when you call them they are so rude. I hate that. But times change nothing stays the same forever.... I wish them all the best of luck, I hope BPS does great things with ranger and I hope this new venture for BCB is a wonderful thing I the end!

I'm always going longest shaft I can rather have more than not enough in waves... Longer the better unless you're a fair weather fisherman... Lol Everyone I know runs motor guide ... I'm going to try a minnkota I have a motor guide now and it's a good motor, but I would like to have the new ulterra, I fish by myself and with small kids so I launch by myself a lot... And I like the anchor feature for crappie fishing and with kids that nice to not lose the spot while heling them I don't care what boat you have, minimum trolling motor I would have anymore would be 80#! No more messing with the wind or fighting ! Go were you want when you want! Bluebasser86 I had a 46# MG ON MY BCB PII, 19'.... I was 12v I had 2 batt wired up in series and now granted I had group 27 w/ 200 min reserve on main and 140 on second with a total 275 mah. So if your gonna run 12v just run two large batteries with plenty of output and make sure you have good heavy wiring, I choose to run stereo power and ground in 2 ga or 1/0 as main from batt to motor plug. And then just be sure you have good clean connections.

I will tell you pass! I will almost surely bet 1000:1 the transom is bad. Unless you have a good glassman to look at it don't risk it! Getting the tea some done correctly will set you back 5-6k. I have friends that work for some of the bass boat companies here in north Ar, I have one that is the master glassman for a top company and he is my go to... You have no idea how many boats I thought had a good transoceanic and when I took to him he identified problems with in 30 sec of see it. And I'm talking nice boats. Buyer beware is all I'm saying... bust out another thousand

Both are good brands, I think you coming down more to a layout thing... Best thing you can do is go sit in them.. Take a rod and a plug and go toss a plug.. See if they will let you take for a test ride. All my local dealers will. I take a rod, we go for a ride and I fish a bit, mostly casting not really fishing, does it work, is things in a good place, easy to move around in ect... All things you must consider. What I like or think is great you may hate! I don't like consoles, so I like a tiller or stick, but sticks have limited rod and tackle storage. I have injuries from lower back to my feet so a lot of up and down around consoles is hard for me. So I am going tiller... Once you own a boat or 2 you figure out really quick what works and doesn't or fishing with a buddy. I hope this helps you some

No shame sir, we all gotta learn it some how!

I am looking at them next!
