Just came back from the Canadian Open on Lake Ontario, my Puma kept me dryish as I had to buck 6fters for 10 miles to come out of South Bay in a 20kt east wind. This is my second Puma, 2012 ftd, its good in the rough but I kept taking the tops off the waves and getting my hair wet! My old puma, 2005 was better, had not stuffed in 4 years, I think because of the large fuel tank under the seats, but it was slower. My buddy has a cougar and has never had any problems of getting wet. JP was on the same water as me and made the same ride in his Jag, Ill try to have him respond his thoughts, but he did call his ride in the morning SPORTING! He just sold his Eyra and would have good thoughts on this hull as well.I think that there is no bad choice for a BassCat hull but I will stick to my Puma, I believe the Jag is to big to dance when running troughs, but it is faster in 3fters as it can stay on top. and I dont want the added speed of the Eyra. Big water is learning how to Drive, Tack, and Avoid the waves. A BASS CAT makes it EASY!The right prop is also a must as must be able to climb 6+ fters or you will have problems. Doug Brownridge
