There are typically two basscat displays at the show. One in the main dome and the other in the convention part, where most the boats are. Both usually have several models on display.
Thanks! Do you remember the dealers names?
I think Dupo Marine is one, not sure on the other. From my experience the guys at Dupo are always really good to talk to.
It is our understanding tha Dupo Marine will be there this year. The other dealer no longer goes to St. Louis. We will check with the factory next week and find out your options. The dealers in Missouri also have stock.

I'd like to get a look at an Eyra.
last year when i was there the biggest boat there was a Puma.
think dupo had 2 boats there last year
Go see Steve Eastwold at Bullshoal boat dock he will take care of you. You will be able to see every boat up close and personal. KB
Marty's Marine at Lake of the Ozarks can help you out.
I got an IM that there will be a Eyra at the KC show. That's closer, so that may work better.
Russ, we do not allow pics of tritons on the bass cat forum. LOL!!
The Phoenix guys don't mind - should I stay over there?? LOL

Whatever makes you feel good Russ! http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif I don't mind the picture of your Triton.
I haven't decided what makes me feel good yet.
You don't want to join a group that spells, Family...Phamily http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif
As long as it isn't spelled "conglomerate" which is <> family!! LOL
Bill, that is one of the most copied or replicated things we have seen from BCB in a bass boat over the past twenty years. There is no doubt BCB started that one 35 years ago, then popularized it 26 years ago promoting this with the annual "Family reunion" of the Owners Invitational.
The "Bass Cat Family" term has been spun into every other brand at some time. Lately the newer companies trying to gain momentum are using the term, and even expressing to be like Bass Cat in their approach. Over the years Triton, Ranger, Hydra Sports and others have used this to describe their owners over the years.
Only one place can that true feeling really be felt or expressed as described, that is at the Owners Invitational. This year we hope those Yar-Craft owners are able to start to get that same feeling Bass Cat owners have had for decades. Come on walleye guys!
See you guys April 13 & 14 in Mountain Home for the annual "Family Reunion"!
Come on down Russ boat or not and see what's there. There you can about look at anything you want from how a 1980's model or older held up, to how that one owner of a eighth ownership 1600 Vee from 1982 gets treated. Realize they are amongst tens of thousands of boats built of the decades by the Pierces and the BCB staff. Though always, and especially then, we want them to feel like they are one person running a BCB we still appreciate as much that New Cougar FTD owner. Will that owner of a 1982 1600 Vee ever buy a new boat? Time has shown us they probably never will, though he is our am'bass'ador daily for how he is treated as a BCB Owner and a member of the Bass Cat Family.

Russ, really, do you still have questions???? You've known for a while... Come on over... http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/popcorn.gif
I always have questions. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif
OK, Ivan IM'ed me and said that he and an Eyra will be at the Kansas City show in 2 weeks. I looked at the boat show link and it doesn't show much for bass boat dealers. Who is the Cat dealer that is coming? Thanks!
http://www.kansascitysportshow....aspx
Midwest Outdoors we believe and Jay Zimmerman's dealership.
http://xs-s.com/zf/images/smile/emthup.gif Thanks! Will there be a Puma or Cougar around along with the Eyra?
The Dupo Marine guys should be there. It's where I saw a BassCat in person. Bought one a few weeks later. I sent Monty an email and asked what boats they will have there. Let you know. As I remember, Ivan did the set up on my SHO equiped PIV.
I appreciate that. The line up at the St Louis looks pretty good selection wise. It is a long haul for me, but if I really want to compare some stuff they need to be there. The Omaha show has next to nothing usually and I'm only going to the KC show to see an Eyra.
Monty says they are going to have a Puma ftd and a Pantera classic. If it was me, I'd be eyeing the Eyra. What a boat. Saw one in person at the 2010 OI, attention to detail is phenomenal.
I want to see the Eyra!
I'm surprised to hear there will be a bass cat at the Kc show. I went to the St Louis boat show 2 years ago to see the Skeeter FX series and that show blows the KC one away. Every time I walked out of the KC sportshow I vowed never to waste money on that again. The thought was usually along the lines of "I could see more boats and tackle at Cabelas or bass pro for free!" That's cool Midwest is coming, saw Jay at Sutherlands monday.
and that was the case again this year............... So just a Puma in St. Louis? Unless the weather gets us, I'll be in St. Louis.
