06 cougar re-power

They should be interchangeable, though that is right in the middle of a harness change. We are not sure that it is feasible to make that investment in your rig, with the engine not being an OEM install and at the better value of a new boat package. We do not often recommend it on a boat this age, and it is right on the line to where you may be better off to swap up. Perhaps using the Loyalty Program that was extended through 2009? We think you would be better suited for that situation or a Cougar Advantage Elite which is your present rig with the CAE console, if you prefer that floor plan. The Verado controls are many more dollars and we know that is too much to invest here.

I agree with Clint. Something isnt right. Im no expert but I would do some serious investigating before I sink that much coin in a new power plant.

Cmon Clint….its not that much tackle! Just enough to fill two isles from Academy!

I repowered my 06 Puma with a new 250 Pro XS. I plan on keeping my boat for a long time, and its a good thing because I will be upside down on my boat for a long time. I think BassCat has a valid point. To me it just depends on how long you are going to keep your current boat. I love my Puma, and it has a lifetime warranty.

moosegorilla, The loyalty program is special pricing on three models. They are for previous customers and their direct family members. The boats are special packages and equipment to reduce pricing and maybe allow an owner of older models to step up some. The equipment matches the package name behind the boat models. Puma Advantage Elite Pantera IV Advantage Elite Sabre FTD Vision Tour This has been taken advantage of by a good many owners this season. The packages are excellent values and your dealer should be able to help you on this.
