I know this is a dumb question, no chance in heck, but I just want to get it off my chest because I've thought about it for YEARS. Maybe get a chuckle out of a few guys also.
Has BassCat, even jokingly at the bar, ever thought about building a BassCat CHEETAH ?? haha. Carbon fiber hull Stroker like setup, but with all the BassCat thoughts and quality in between. Major liability, but Imagine that!!!
And honestly I may have made this same post 10 years ago, my memory is bad sometimes even at 33 yrs old lol.
They are already fast enough for me
They have considered using the Cheetah name, though hesitate because of the old Astroglass (Astro), Pro-Craft and Cheetah line.
Never saw a cheetah. Owned an astro and still see a few old pro crafts on the river. But a cheetah? Have to look that one up.

I have seen some old cheetahs for sale around here. Usually 15'-17' boats that I've seen
I have seen and fished out of lot of Astros and Pro Crafts in the late 70's and early 80's but don't recall the Cheetah.
My first bass boat was a 1505 Cheetah. Looked like a mini Ranger 350. Had an older 85hp Evenrude. It would go 50mph and that was fast for a 15 foot boat. It was rated for a 115 which would have been stupid scary.
^^ my first bass boat was a 1986 Cheetah (16') with a 90 hp Evinrude on it! I remember that little boat ran like a top! I used to take that thing up and down the Red River in Shreveport, could get that sucker into the tightest areas. Never once let me down! Wow, some great memories!
Nobody in bass fishing likes a Cheata! LOL
