I am in need of a new cat (new to me). I have my heart set on a nice clean Pantera. Boat does not need any add ons other than a trailer maybe, I have a newer 200HP and new electronics. I have a great looking 90 P2 but the transom has just give it up so obviously this will be an area of concern on an older boat. I would prefer a dual console but im open. I need to find something b4 winters end. Im located in SW Missouri and would travel. You can send pix to [url=mailto:jdcarterrsc@hotmail.com]jdcarterrsc@hotmail.com[/url] Thanks, J.. UPDATE 1/19/09: I found my new kitty! I just wanted to thank everyone for the emails and the replys to this post. I should have my new girl this week. (06 Classic) So now I will just have to get my motor rigged and off I go. Plus FYI I sold my old girl last week. And boy do I miss her! Good luck Todd I hope she continues to win tournys for you! BCB thanks to you for all the help and the boards you guys were life savers! Thanks again everyone!Last edited by jdcarterrsc on January 19th, 2009, 3:54 pm, edited 5 times in total.

Yeah big decisions coming your way I know how you feel. I am looking at two options 1) Im looking at an 02 Pantera and I might just put my motor on it. or 2) Im thinking about selling what I have and just get in a newer 03 or 04 Cougar. But if you are interested I may have an 04 Merc 200 EFI 3.0L for sale in the coming days or weeks. Which I must admit is a VERY strong motor it moved my 90 P2 at about 73GPS @ 5600 with a hole shot that was unreal. Thats what is sad to me I will miss the days of blowing the doors off all of these new 225s with my lil old Kitty. I am in Springfield, MO and my email is [url=mailto:jdcarterrsc@hotmail.com]jdcarterrsc@hotmail.com[/url] if you have some intrest let me know. I exploring all my options. Best of Luck to you! Thanks, J..

I know what ur talkin about when u say “blowin the doors off other boats”. Mine went 71 gps three days before the motor popped. The thing was worn completely out too. I can just imagine what it would do with a nice motor. Does ur merc come with all controlls if u decide to sell it ? How much? Thanks, Chris

Busa, Sorry for the delay I was just waiting on the report from having the motor checked out. It is a 2004 200 Merc EFI 3.0L with about 280 Hrs on it. I just had it in the shop and had the yearly maintenance done. All looks good. As far as the controls go I would prefer not to sell with controls but I would be willing to work something out if they are needed. The price is the hard part. I still owe about $5900 on the note but would be willing to sell the motor for $5200. (controls excluded) But I would sell my whole package for what I owe on the note. Which would include 90 PII DC w/ MG trolling motor and trailer plus several other accessories (no graphs). All of the accessories/wiring have been up dated (including new 3bank charger, livewell controls and new front temp/depth gauge) and full working order but the boat itself is not in good shape the transom is out and there is a crack in the hull. I am still working on getting a boat without a motor so this deal may be null if I get one found. Im sorry for being a little wishy washy but im trying to keep all my options open. Please email me if you want more info. [url=mailto:jdcarterrsc@hotmail.com]jdcarterrsc[/url][url=mailto:jdcarterrsc@hotmail.com]@hotmail.com[/url] Thanks, J..

Dont apologize for keepin ur options open. Believe me, i know exactly what ur goin through. I wish i had the money to buy a new CAT and im sure u wish the same too. Untill then we will just have to keep peiceing these old boats together. Hey , i think BCB should have one of those “Pimp my Boat” shows and we could be the first of the lucky ones to have a nice boat again. Sounds good dont u think ?

Busa, That is a great idea! Im sure BCB is always looking for new and improved marketing ideas. What a better way than getting national attention and maybe even a prime time spot on one of the major neworks? BCB im here just let me know when you ready go get “pimpn”. But I think we should call it “Pimp my Ship”(TM) OK…OK… A little bit of a pipe dream maybe but a guy can dream right! Busa thanks for the laugh. Good Luck in your adventures and let me know if I can help. J..
