    Heard a rumor

    Rumor has it that there is a BRAND NEW ground up platform being built by BassCat, no plat form name given. Mentioned by BCB dealer sales rep while friend shopping for new boat. Any truth to this rumor??

    I have not heard anything. We are a BassCat dealer (Miller's Marine). Our factory sales rep is AWESOME with communication to. But then again if they were coming up with some new design/designs I'm sure they would not be sharing them until they were ready for release.

    They have always got something in development in R&D. That’s nothing new, just expectations and anticipation.

    Beginning in 2020 model year they’ve completed the Jaguar, 219 TFX, Lynx hull revision, Eyra redesign, Cougar redesign, Bobcat and Puma STS. Why would they not have more to come.

    It’s just what happens!

    Bass Cat actually detuned the pad of the Eyra not make it difficult to run over 90 even with the 300R. I bought it for speed and did not realized that I was limited.

    Rick told me that too lol... Said something along the lines of the coast guard seeing the boats performance and giving a nudge to slower her down a bit..... Hey you can always call Bob at brp marine in NC he knows guys who blue print pads but its a fortune. (They build poker run boats)
