I might be looking to make a change in boats soon. What’s the ride, handling, fish ability and speed on the 203 boats? I understand the 203 is not going to be fast and I’m. It worried about going 80 lol. I want a boat that fishes good and handles big water. Boats in the past for me Z520 and 521c boas and Caymas cx21

I would like to hear from guys that have several hours fishing tournaments on how the boat does in big water in tournament situations.

Ross Marine has one down in Lufkin.
FYI
The 203 Hybrid (Puma/Cougar) will be very different (ride, handling, performance, fishing platform) from your previous rigs.
Coming from wide bodied boats, the Lynx will be closer in comparison.

We would think he’s confidential on his changes. It appears from his pattern your last question is close.
Nothing in his "pattern" indicates how long he held the Rangers. Obviously he hasn't had the Caymas very long and I too am curious as to why he might be boat shopping so soon.Originally Posted by Bass Cat Boats
There was a time that I didn't fish but I cannot remember it.
Nothing bad about the Caymas its a really good boat. I usually flip boats every few years The 203 Hybrid boat catches my attention because the ride of a 203 hull and the build quality of a Bass Cat and Rick Pierce.
I rode in one last Thursday at the factory and rode with Matt in his on Friday. You won't be disappointed at all great smooth ride and handling. At 65 mph you don't need your hands on the wheel
I still have the need for speed, so the standard hull fits my preferences better.
the 203 is going to be a smaller boat and not a wide body hull like your last boats...it WILL outperform your previous boats in terms of rough water ride, handling, etc. If you want another wide body boat check out the new Jaguar with a 250 on it or the Lynx. Ross motorsports has a Jaguar with a 250 and it performs well.

Stupid question but can you order a Puma FTD SP with the 203 Hybrid hull?
