    I miss my Bass Cat

    Made a dumb decision and wish I could go back and do it over again. I bought a 2016 Ranger RP 190 and it's a good boat. I did not like the narrowness of the P2 upfront. Some suggested P4. Now I don't see that it is available anymore on the BassCat website. Going to watch for one used where I can trade this tin boat. It may take a while but I'll be back. Wife said get it done. She misses our Bass Cat also. It was our favorite boat so far. A little wider would be all we need.

    Keep an eye out. Dual console so she can hide from the wind. I'll have to trade the Ranger or maybe someone will buy it. We'll see.

    Make your way to the Bassmasters Classic and see what they have there. They should have a new Pantera Classic there and it may fit the bill.

    P4 is a great rough water boat not the fastest but a deep hull great ride from what I know, you had the purple cat Right? Maybe a used cougar or puma would be a good choice

    Yes. From what I've heard out of the new Classic, it should be just what you're looking for

    Pantera Classic was shown to Dealerships attending this week and they should have a good idea of the attributes.

    There are NO Images and pictures we're not allowed. Steven from R&R and Tommy from Rockwall were both there. As was Sherm, Jeremy from Skyline, Sunset Marine, H2O SportZ, Hide-A-Way Harbor, AIM Canada, Fredericks (AL), Legacy (KY), Eastwold Bull Shoals, Cedar Lake (WI) and a few more we forgot. Any of these might be able to describe it some.

    New hull, new deck, new console, new design floor plan, different graphics, wide fishing deck, beam forward design and a totally new direction. 19' 5" and 90" rear beam for 8' garages. Most emphasis will be on the 150 HP segment with option being the 200 monsters.

    You might consider the Caracal as well. Very wide front deck.

    Seen lots of people convince themselves that an aluminum Ranger somehow would defy the negatives of fishing from an aluminum boat. Seen several people figure out it is still an aluminum, and trade them in on a glass boat like they really wanted to begin with.

    Yes, I remember your purple boat very well. A good used P4 will be very hard to find, but, if you can are considering going new, the Classic mentioned may be the ticket.

    Very interested to see this boat and deck layout up front.

    Saw those. If I could sell this Ranger tin boat I'd be all over the one in MIssissippi.

    Absolutely love that boat and it would be perfect. I'll have to save more coin before taking that big step. Maybe a nice good looking used one will pop up soon.

    The factory has a couple of used rigs that are theirs. They are selling those through dealerships and they have an Eyra, Caracal, Margay and perhaps a few more.

    Yes that is one I really like too. Just gotta trade or sell this tin boat first.

    Yes the purple one was mine and Rick and BCB's do ruin you from every owning another brand.
