I know this has been a topic before but i dont want to leave BCB. This is my situation, I just sold my Sabre cuz Im going back to SE GA. I love the brand and the boats, the very best that i have EVER owned period the end, BUT I need something that i can fish for reds and specs, then tow up to Lake Oconee and Lanier on the weekends and fish for the largemouths. The Bay Cat is just too big and not practical for my storage situation for living on St Simons Island, GA. I cant afford a bass boat and a center console, so i need one boat that can do everything. Why cant yall make a Pantera or Sabre or Margay that has a full inner liner (NO CARPET) all SS fittings and an aluminum trailer. How much more could it cost to take the P II or even the Sabre FTD hull and put a full inner liner in it and sit it on an aluminum trailer. I really dont want to buy a “R” boat Intracoastal series, but they have to sell, cuz you hardly ever see them used and they are still making them. After visiting many forums with people who own those boats they swear they will never go back to a traditional style of bass boat. I think there would be a significant amount of interest from people that would line up to buy a coastal series if it was offered..i know that i would be the first. I see many people from the central TX area that love to go down to the coast and catch the fish that are actually good to eat..LOL. I just dont want to give up the bass boat style, but i have to have something that i can put in the salt. Come one BCB make it PLEASE…..Thanx for listening to me.Stephen

Take a look at the smaller Key West Bay Reefs and the Sea Hunt BX Series. Large front decks and they have 17&18 footers. Still a center console but smaller overall.If BCB would build an intercoastal I would buy one as well.

Key west are great and well built boat Im selling my 21ft bayreef since I got the baycat but if I didnt buy the cat would buy a keywest again in a heartbeat. The keywest stealth might be a boat worth looking at

You could always get a nicely used Sabre or Pantera and strip the carpet down then have it Rhino Lined. Ive seen a few bass boats done like this and its nice. You can get any color you want as well.Chris CoupelPaulina, La.Chris CoupelPaulina, La.

I have owned pathfinders, key west and blazer bays. I did not like any of them like the way I loved my BCB. The problem I have with the stealth and the “flats” style boats are the top end speed and the way they handle chop. I just really love the bass boat style. I have seen the Rhino lining and other spray in liners in boats and they are just really rough compared to a non skid gel coat inner liner. Until I see a Pantera Coastal Classic, I will just keep dreaming.

I would buy one. Margay hull would do well with 90 to 115 hp.
