BCB Relaunches the Jaguar as a 22' boat with 450 Merc

Dang nice boat.

Impressive innovation.:thumb up2:

Straight testosterone.

Isn't the Ballistic bigger?

I'd like to drive that one. Hell if I could afford it I'd have one.

If you can afford that boat, you can pay for fuel.:laugh:
I considered a 400R for my boat.

think you would be a tad low :laugh:...at least from what I have heard from some on it.

I have a 2017 with a 350 verado. It is just barely and 80 mph boat light 77 loaded. It is a heavy hull. Rick did say they tweaked the hull so maybe it will run faster with he same HP. One change was getting rid of the belly tank for all rear tanks. That will help as my Jag doesn't care how much rear weight I carry but is real weight sensitive in the front. I thought he might go with a center rod box but said if you want that then get the lynx.

Also I am amazed at how many people are still confused about tournament fishing and the horespoer restrictions. 99% of the tournament fishermen on this site (myself included) fish club or team circuits. To the best of my knowledge only Bass, FLW and perhaps the "other" Pro tours have a HP restirction of 250hp, the remainder state in the rules that the HP of a vessel cannot exceed the manufacture limits.

..............Ya can’t pay cash!

There will be some idiots that buy it , to each of their own.

Well at least the boat and motor are equally displeasing to the eye.

$135k

Just read they had it going 89mph and backed off:eek:

Setup like this are going to increase bass boat accidents. Im semi active in the power boating community...lost 5 friends in the same number of years due to rollovers, engine failures, etc. When you have that kind of power on the ass end of a very short boat its going to have some fatal accidents in short order. A single 400 will push a 22' cat well over 100, duals on a 26 up in the 130-150 range. This is purely a showoff move, but shows the industry still has room to get more ridiculous... I hate to say it but I'll bet money there will be an accident post within the first year of production due purely to speed and a driver who shouldn't be behind the wheel. Im sure it'll be fun to get insurance for on top of it all. Theres probably very few people on this forum who have driven a boat in excess of 100...its not simple.

Yes and faster. Probably for a lot less money too.

I couldn't afford to fill it with gas :(
