He ran a Lynx last year and pretty sure he is in a Cougar this year.

They all flip around and then get to try all the models. Hank was after a few more MPH and who knows next year. The Eyra guys are the ones who don’t usually bounce around. Some have gone Puma in the past if they intended to fish event with storage. And most usually the choice of a Puma FTD was the separated storages.
I love my Eyra, but nothing beats the storage in the Puma.Originally Posted by Bass Cat Boats
How come they don't ever run a caracal? Just seems like such an ideal, all around good boat.....And from what I've read, it will run with most boats with 250's. Except other cats. lol
Simply it is just about a 225 vs 250.
I agree, I'm surprised it's being shelved. Interested to to the "project stealth" release in July

The Caracal storage is crazy for a 19’8. When I sold my 920 Phoenix I thought no way will this all fit in my Caracal boy was I wrong I have 1 completely empty box up front and starboard rod box has nothing but my life jacket and unit covers. Not much in the under seat storage. The back boxes one behind my driver seat maybe 1/4 full. I was shocked at how much stuff the boat can hold.

no bass cat won’t let them run one I bet do you profitably.
We would allow them to use the Caracal, though they prefer the 250 engines for improved performance and they would run 300 engines if they could.
I always wondered why the Puma is more preferred than the cougar. To me, the cougar would have more sq ft of storage since the mid section of the deck is longer than the puma.
That's why I went with the Cougar. To me it has more storage & a little more deck space

The Caracal layout is phenomenal but you’re right the volume of storage is crazy. I sold my Caracal and have a Jaguar coming, my bet is that all of the stuff that came out of the Caracal will barely fit in the Jag
Around here we see 5 Cougars for every Puma. If I understand math, the Cougar and Puma with the same gas tank configuration would have almost the exact same storage. I personally prefer the Cougar layout but could see some folks liking the Puma.
What is the electronic mount that Hank has on bow of boat. Looked liked it covered a lot of the recessed area where electronics are mounted usually.
Bassboat Technology plate, they said it weighs 30 pounds.
I love the storage and layout of my Puma. The step up to the front deck being larger is easier to navigate and some of my fishing partners are older. It also has a bigger cooler under the step too which I like better than the Cougar. Other than that they are very similar. Who knows maybe one day I’ll get an Eyra but I am pleased with how the Puma performs and handles in rough water.
