Curious if you guys know where to find the model number/ serial number of a bass cat… talking to someone about one and unfortunately they don’t know much at all as far as details on the boat and am trying to figure out what year it is and if it’s even worth it being it hasn’t been run in a couple years . Thanks !
Right rear of hull just below the rub rail.
Aft starboard for you ol salty dogs.
Don’t see it in photos , title says 03 and 20’ 5” but there’s no model like cougar written on the hull or anything
It is molded in the hull.
You could find the model name on the US Coast Guard(yellow) capacity plate that is placed in the center cockpit area of the boat. As far as the serial number, it is stamped in the fiberglass right rear transom/hull, just under the rub rail, as mentioned. The S/N won't be a metal plate, it is the same color as the rest of the surrounding area of the transom. He may need to take a piece of paper and a pencil and sketch across the paper to get the numbers to show up clearly, because you probably won't get a good phone picture of it.
Awesome, thanks again! I’m assuming it’s a cougar with it having seat storage and it says it’s a 20.5’ boat but iv never seen one that doesn’t have it on the side of the boat on the top cap… Is there a way with an 03 cougar to get hours of the motor without taking it somewhere … didn’t know if that modeled logged it on one of the gauges
I’m assuming the last two of the serial number would be the date also ??
Hours on a boat that old is almost pointless.Originally Posted by Gillsandtines10
Condition is king.
Pull the serial number and there is also an archive of brochures on the internet.
Yea it’s an 09 optimax 250 pro xs but has sat for 2 years… if someone will pm me I’d like to ask a couple questions maybe the bass cat guys can tell me what y’all think as far as hull etc
Put it out here. No need for a PM.
I’d rather PM just bc it’s not mine and don’t wanna be that guy, would appreciate it if anybody would be willing to take a look
Nobody knows who the boat belongs to.
What is "that guy" ?
Ask away.
Is the archive active again? I have the archive page saved as a bookmark on my computer but about the last two months or so it brings up the Bass Cat page but says page not found.
If the boat doesn't have the model id stickers on the side, you could post a couple pics of the boat, particularly the deck layout and I guarantee someone will be able to tell you what it is.
See if these work , it’s a cougar is what the US coast guard sticker says but never seen one without the name on the side … hull looks to be in decent shape and the motor is an 09 but hasn’t run in a couple years
That yellow circle is where the serial number is on the hull. Stickers become damaged sometimes and those were removed for some reason. You can purchase the stickers from Bass Cat.
