definitely try to get a 2008 or newer to get the New generation hull, BCB always tweaks and changes lil things to the hulls and caps, but 2008 was a big year in terms of pad change and chines sharpening to Race boat standards. The Puma FTD and Cougar FTD differ in bow deck layout, besides that same boats from helm back, same rear tank placement for a Lil more performance than a Midship tank. I sold them back then and the BCBs are just years ahead of the other brands your going to shop, Vacuum molding hulls and transoms is something that $1,000,000 Offshore Race boats, Super High End Sailboats, thats usually the boats that get Vacuum molded, more consistent glass to resin ration for strength and less excess weight. The BCB trailer is second to none, Best Boat Warranty that Ive ever heard of, Lifetime warranty on the boats your looking at for the Life of the Boat not the First buyer, thats HUGE for hull and transom etc…..BCB uses the best wiring, latches, gauges, the list goes on…..Some Owners will post here in the next couple hours and answer the rest of your questions….Now the fun part, SHOPPING……Theirs some Killer BCB dealers that have been BCB for years and years, if you can find one thru them youll be in great shape also……
