If you look at the P4 id seriously steer you to price out with Sherm a 2010 Cougar advantage Elite, 225 pro xs, maybe a trailer grab pole and some other options you like, and when you compare it to the P4 pricing youll see what I mean, plus its the exact same boat in concept as your Cougar ftd, just different dash (advantage dash) unless Rick will upgrade you to the Elite dash, and the 2009/2010 Hull with more speed and stability…add maybe a 250 pro xs if the Hot Rod in you still wants to play and have a absolute Rocket….Of course sir if you have any color or layout options my cell is always on for questions, and if I hear of someone lookin for a Bay boat Ill let you know…..Brannon Brannon…I know what you mean. I did talk to Sherm, he told me to consider the Cougar Advantage Elite for the same reason. Close to the cost of the PIV. The more I think about it, when the Baycat sells, I think I may seriously consider a year or two old Puma or Cougar.

But Im sure it comes down to the market for this type of rig. They would sell a few down here but it may not be worth building one. I love my BassCat but a boat I can put in salt water too makes sense for a lot of us that have to have 2 boats. Im sure me or Bill would be happy to field test one for them. I agree with the above wholeheartedly. A boat like a Cougar or Puma rigged with no carpet, etc like you described, would suit me for sure. I think Stratos may have made a boat like that at one time. I dont know if they still do or not. Ive got a buddy who has an old Venture, he stripped all the carpet out and sprayed bedliner type material on the decks. What he didnt do was add any stainless stuff and things are rusting away really fast on his bassboat. He uses it on Mobile Bay and in some of the salt water flats down here. I doubt there is much market for one though.
