    Hybrid Sneak Peek 2019

    Sneak peek..... I know this is a ChampioN board but thought you’d like to see. Breaking in the 203 Champion/Puma Hybrid by BassCat Boats. A detailed write up will follow in a few weeks. It’s happening folks, it’s happening! Yes, I bought it.

    Why a 300? Because it's my money and I wanted it. BCB tried talking me out of it.

    Details     to follow....enjoy!

    Love the side depth vs the typical FTD. My 2008 Cougar AE was like that. I know there is a bucoooo ton of hours in that hull. Congrats and enjoy.

    So is this the only one built? The same one that's been tested for a few years?

    The back has me fascinated for some reason, it’s almost tunnel hull”ish”. I can envision that thing cutting corners like a knife.

    It's kinda of a optical illusion. Focus on the the all black bottom and that's the 203 running surface.

    So it’s not a big hooking loop, it’s just the way the Black is being concealed. You need to get that thing broke in so you can tell us all about it. I’m glad you’ve ridden in a lot of them, so you can compare your findings. I know it’s gotta be expensive, but that is really cool to have the first one of. I am a bit envious.

    Congrats Matt. So this a 203 hull (slightly modified for the top cap)?

    That is one beautiful ride. Are you fishing the Big Bass Bash this weekend?

    Interesting... You're right it yours, but why did they try to discourage or not recommend the 300???... Congrats... Enjoy... Dan

    PS... Anyone got a picture from the rear to make a comparison (picture #3)...
