    Dealer inventory

    I am starting my new boat search either a Ranger , basscat , Phoneix I am finding it a struggle to find dealers with any boats. Do you guys know if Basscat has a program to see dealer inventory ? Ford and Dodge has this system and makes it easy to find vehicles.I will be asking this question on all forums to make it easier to find a boat. Thanks

    I am not aware of any of those manufacturers having such a system.

    What model are you looking for? Perhaps someone can help you out.

    Congrats!

    Question for BassCat … just out of curiosity …

    If two people order the same boat on the same day from two different dealers… should both boats arrive around the same time? Or could one dealer be delayed because they have significantly more/less orders than the other?

    I'm not complaining - I don't mind waiting - I'm just curious why I was told 7-8 months when I ordered in June and guys seem to be expecting less now. Maybe things have just improved and my dealer was playing it safe?

    You may consider a PM or email to Bass Cat and see if any of the dealer meeting boats are going to dealers after today.

    Orders are built based on time on order, so they should be close other than aligning production with delivery.

    Timing now is about January or February and model mixes for production do alter timing.

    There is no public system for customers to search, though in house staff can search through inventory and assist your dealership. It is like cars however and they don’t like to dealer trade during these low inventory times.

    For example we needed a truck which was in Nebraska and they are delivering it to Mountain Home for us. They did not want to dealer trade with our local dealership.

    That one has been there for at least 6 months. I looked at it before I purchased my 2022 Cougar from Sherm.

    Yeah it has been there for a minute. I think its the only one they have right now. They sold a Jag with a 400 on it not too long ago.
