    Bought the boat brand new in January from AquaTech Marine. It was leftover new stock. I absolutely love the boat but both my tournament partners have quit fishing and I am contemplating getting a new hobby myself. Send me a PM and I can get you more pictures. Thanks guys!

    Beautiful boat. But before quitting bass fishing as a hobby because you lost a couple fishing buddies, I would consider finding another fishing buddy... seriously. Unless you don't find fishing fun anymore.

    I appreciate what your saying. I’ve definitely lost some passion. I think I’m going to take a big step back for a couple years and just fun fish. Maybe get a little tracker or something. I would greatly appreciate you guys spreading the word it’s virtually brand new. I’ve got some pretty sweet gear I can part with as a finders fee. Thanks!

    I will spread the word. I saw that boat in person at Aqua Tech. It is sweet. It was just a little out of my price range.

    I greatly appreciate it! I’ve made a ton of significant upgrades. I’m just trying to minimize my loss.

    Nice looking rig. Once I move out of my PIV the Caracal is on my short list. I do have one question though, what is the measurement from the ground to the top of your power poles?

    I fish by myself 90% of the time. I don't do tournaments. I like the solitude, but still appreciate the times that my wife or a buddy joins me. I would never want to be without my Cat. Craig, I think that you would regret trying to fun fish out of a small tin boat after having the rig that you now have.

    I’d also be willing to sell the boat without the Power Poles and Lowrance electronics if anyone knows someone interested. Please pass the word. Thanks.

    Why not just fun fish in this rig? Sounds like you already got it the way you want plus if you decide to jump back in the fray your already set with a hell of a rig. Just food for thought.

    i agree but do understand the financial pressures of owning a premium boat. GLWS.

    Me sure to list it in the BBC boats for sale section. I’ve sold 3 boats from that section of the board.


    Nice rig. Good luck.

    Exactly! That and craigslist... I wasted my money on my last one with boat trader! They put your listing down at the bottom unless you list it like its a same year model.

    I appreciate it guys! I’ve got it all over craigslist and it’s listed on here. No bites yet but it’s not exactly buying season right now either. I’m dropping the price. Please spread the word.

    Another price drop! I’m way in the hole now. What do I need to do to sell this nearly brand new beauty of a machine?

    It’s not really the buying season right now. Plus, right or wrong, people might be turned off by the 225 vs a 250, and some people aren’t fans of the white poles and jack plate. Don’t get me wrong. It’s very clean and looks different with the white. It just might not be everyone’s cup of tea. If it was sitting for 2 years at the dealership before you bought it, you can pretty much think it could take a while for someone looking for the combo you have.
