If you was looking at a 19 footer with a 200.

If all other things were equal (which they aren't), I would choose the BassCat simply because of the much better trailer it rides on.
It's hard to beat a built "in house" trailer.

I can't get used to the Falcon rod locker lids opening the way they do. It would probably take time. Ride in all of them and decide.....

I’ve had the pleasure of time in a 19’ Cat with a 200...what a nice bat. The only reason I did t buy one is it didn’t fit in my garage at the time. I’ve owned two Cats, one of them was nine years old when I got rid of it and still looked fantastic. They are just top notch. Nothing wrong with the other brands, but no other brand supports their owners like Cat does.

Triton 19trx with a 225

thanks a nice boat that would be my choice also

[Mark Perry]

Falcon. One of the dealers at Fork has some Falcons on their lot. I looked them over the other day as I had not seen one. damn impressive boat.

Whichever one JM won't own in the future.

[DAC244]

Appreciate the input guys.

[1955retiree]

Basscat!

[fishin couillon]

Phoenix!!!!!

[Rodney P]

I went with the Phoenix but the Basscat was on my radar as well

[DennisMH&F]

You can't beat the proven ride and build quality of Bass Cat Pantera. It definitely be my choice if I was going to keep the boat for 4 years or more since resale will also be better.

[BPenrod]

Phoenix!!!

[Bill2e]

Far and away the Bass Cat Pantera II is the best bass boat for a weekend angler ever made.

I wish I never sold mine.

[bossbowman]

I would got Phoenix, but also look for Legends in that size seen some deals on those since they discontinued.

[jarhead175]

Whichever one JM won't own in the future.

That would put the new Charger 198 Elite at the top of my list.

[Z520C]

I would go with the Phoenix.

Tween them three I agree with this..

[larryhyco]

Basscat

[mactlman]

basscat

[basscat21]

All three are nice quality boats.....have fun figuring out your ride!

[n2ratfishin]

I know the Phoenix has a decent amount of legroom. Not sure about the other two.

Im 6’ and I was a good 290 back when I was driving the PII and owned a Sabre FTD. The Sabre was ok but I needed a tilt wheel. Once in a while I’d hit my knee on the console in really rough water. The PII has another foot in the console, at least the PII does. I had room to stretch out behind the wheel of the PII and never hit the console. I ended up driving because the owner was soaking us in the roughest water he’d ever seen. He let me show him how to drive water like that. The PII has an AWESOME deck layout. I’ve not been in a beam forward classic. People seem to like them. The PII isn’t the rocket of an old Classic, but it’s got several mph on a bunch of 19’s and is a dream in rough water. The hull responds like an extension of you.

I’m a fan of people getting test rides and buying the boat that gets them excited. They are easier to pay for that way. The brand is secondary.
