BassCat Boats

A very FUN day on Lake Texoma

feeds@yuku.com (jmt56tx) — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 21:16:22 GMT

Fellow Bas Cat owner and buddy, Tim Grinolds and I, braved windy, 39 degree, rainy weather this past Sunday on BEAUTIFUL Lake Texoma. We caught 15 Stripers (all between 18"-22"), 6 Smallmouth and 1 Kentucky Spot.

The 3 largest Smallmouth were 3, 4 and 5lbs. We won't say who caught the 5

We had a BLAST!!! We can hardly wait to get back out there this weekend. Merry Christmas...

cougar ftd prop/setup??

feeds@yuku.com (dougie) — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 19:22:22 GMT
if running 26 fury and trying 26 and 27 trophy plus..would engine height normally be same, higher, or lower..fury works pretty good but I just can't get the numbers that lots of people on this board are claiming..77 is best speed I have ever reached!! ran 26 trophy yesterday at same height as fury..more rpm but slower speed..5950 rpm/74 mph. weather was no fun so didn't stay out there messing with adjustments..thanks for any input.

Question for BCB...Dust Cover?

feeds@yuku.com (billius) — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 18:10:00 GMT
I'm working on a deal to buy an '09 CougarFTD. I've had Dean's covers for my last two BassCats. I only use the cover when staying overnight at a motel while fishing, etc. I store my boats in the garage all the time and never tow with a cover on. Would a BCB dust cover be water proof? As I said, I'd just use it to cover the boat at night when staying at a motel. I hate to spend the money for a Dean's or an Aurora cover when I hardly ever use them.

Bought a new BCB three months ago and still don't have it...

I paid for a new BassCat almost three months ago and I still haven't received the boat. The boat was not custom ordered we added options to a showroom boat. We were under the impression that it would only take a couple of weeks to add the options. The dealer was great during the transaction but we've had a lot of trouble contacting him after the fact. Should I be upset to not have the new boat that I paid for 3 months ago? Thanks in advance for any feedback! BTW...I'm a huge...

Loosing charge on cranking battery

feeds@yuku.com (ramblinrek) — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 22:04:53 GMT
Over the past 5 weeks we have been harvesting soybeans and cotton. Fishing has been at a stand still. My boat sets in the shop not being used. I have checked the batteries on several occasions and have found that the cranking battery is totally discharged. I have been able to bring back to a full charge using my shop charger each time, the last time being last Saturday. This morning the cranking amps had already fallen again by about 100 CCA's. I have checked all mercury...

Well, I got out for about an Hour today in between rain showers and ran a 27" powertech tro-4. It was a prop my friend had that he couldn't turn on his boat. It was very impressive. Hole shot was very good, midrange lift is much better than my Hydromotive but, it doesn't have quite the punch in the midrange as the Hydromotive. Top end was well beyond what I expected. This is with all of my tackle, 15 rod-n-reels, half fuel and full livewell, Myself at 185...

Spinnerbait Hangers and Bait Clips

feeds@yuku.com (straybullet) — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 19:15:56 GMT
Anyone using spinnerbait or bag clip wracks mounted under your compartment lids? If so, how well do the baits stay on them? Also, how did you mount them?

Cleaning the new big graph screens

feeds@yuku.com (frenchcat) — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 18:28:34 GMT
I was just checking to see what everybody is cleaning the new big screen units with. I have used the eye glass cleaning kit you can get at the local dollar stores. It says that it's for glass and plastic, but I just wanted some other ideas. I'm just talking about the spots left after a day of fishing.

best motor on a Cougar Advantage Elite?

feeds@yuku.com (jmcneil) — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 22:00:55 GMT
Wanted some input on what the best motor for the money would be on a Cougar Advantage.

I currently have a 27" Fury on my new Cougar Advantage. I only have a few hours on my motor and have reached 79mph.Should I try other props?

feeds@yuku.com (happyhour) — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 21:23:08 GMT
Is 27 Fury the right prop for me?

I Got that 3.0 Liter on the ole Classic!!

feeds@yuku.com (Shap from La) — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 19:27:45 GMT

All I can say is Wow!! What a difference. Feels like I put a nitrous kit on the back of my boat. Totally different experience. With my 26 Hydomotive this thing literally jumps out of the hole and doesn't stop until I hit the Rev limiter at 5850! I've got to do some prop experimenting to try to stay out of the limiter or get the limiter changed. I won't post any #'s until I get the prop situation figured out but it will be impressive to say the least. I really...
