There is no space between seat and center console like the puma sts

Noticed that…so it’s either a narrow boat or new box.

That is incorrect, I'll go get the picture

I'll say new 20ft model..Leopard STS...lol

[ChanceHuiet]

My guess is it will be called the "Ocelot"

BC wants to live at the high end of the bass boat market so it's unlikely they will build any new boats under 20'. That's a shame for many who would like to own one but don't want or can't afford that kind of rig. The Pantera Classic is a dream rig for the majority of working anglers, but their own website describes it as a rig "for starting young anglers and those on the other end of their fishing". That means a Bass Tracker for most people so their perception of this market is a lot different than most of us. BC build a great product which is quirky and expensive and appeals to a particular group of people who like something different.

Definitely not a under 20' model..

I was a Ranger guy for 20 years....I always wanted to try BassCat but couldn't get over their narrow front decks. The STS changed the game for me. Do I still think Rangers are good looking boats? FK yeah, did you see the 520 Ultra! Would I go back to Ranger no way.... unless I was forced to downsize, and it would be for the 518 which I still think it's the best 18' boat on the market.

Id love a Pantera classic IF they got rid of the white interior. I'll never own a boat with a white interior again. It's so incredibly hard to keep my boat clean right now.

God I hope not.

Aluminum and costs are eating into the 18’ market and the 19’ market is somewhat shrinking other than the lower cost fiberglass.

So then it's a 21'-2" Lynx with the puma layout :D

I guess they do that to keep the cost down but it's a non-starter for some people. I love the quality and fit/finish of a BC, but I just don't like all the weird angles and non-symmetrical lines on their hull designs and interiors. There may be some good reasons behind all of that but it's a turnoff to me. I think choosing a boat is something like choosing a wife - get one you really like to look at because it really helps on those days when the boat/wife is driving you nuts.

If this is a lynx STS and not a sub 20ft it’s a big disappointment.

No. Available last year, maybe earlier.
