    Just finalized my order for a 23 Puma STS. Can’t wait! (but I’ll have to! haha)

    You planning on sharing any details—colors, options, electronics? Or do we have to wait too?

    haha.. fair enough!

    I ordered it without any graphs. If it's going to be an 8 month wait, I want to be sure nothing newer is coming out. If nothing new shows up, I'll have dual Lowrance HDS Live 12's at the console, a Live 12 at the Bow... and either a Garmin 1222 with Livescope or Helix 12 with Mega 360 (and Active Target on the Lowrance). I'm undecided on LVS34 vs Active Target & 360... but there's plenty of time to make up my mind.

    As for other options..

    Merc 250
    Lowrance Ghost
    Black BassSport 18 Wheels
    Grab Post & Step
    Removable Passenger Console
    2 LED backup lights on trailer
    3 12v Lithium Trolling Motor Batteries
    PowerPole Charge
    Hamby Bow Protector
    Aqualon Cover
    Hot Foot
    JL Audio system
    Atlas Jack Plate (black)
    Dual blinker trim
    2 8ft PowerPoles
    Powerpole stomp buttons
    Retractable Rod straps
    Mercury Monitor Gauge
    Fiberglass center step box
    Padded front deck
    Reflex flooring full boat


    I think that's it.

    Colors are obviously subjective. I've found that a lot of people don't like red, but.. I like it.. so there we go. Charcoal Mist & Apple Red.

    Congrats. Did you get the reflex flooring on the decks or just the cockpit?

    Congratulations! Looking forward to hearing all about it once it arrives! We are going to have to make a plan to meet somewhere in the middle and fish someday.

    Congratulations, that’ll be sweet! I think the colors will turn out really good. Like the red for the boot. I was playing around with a pro blue boot color combo a year or two ago that I thought would have looked cool. I think the bold colored bottoms are sweet for the fact that you don’t see them very often.

    Congratulations! Very similar setup to mine but I went with traditional carpet. Love mine so far, best Cat I've ever owned.
