Well in 25 years and 4 boats I have never been disappointed or sorry of that choice I made way back then. Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Year to all at Basscat! Joe Fuerst I second that! Best advice that I ever received was prior to my first BassCat in 89. Our longtime local Merc shop and boat dealer and family friend(Splawn Marine in NLR) had Astro boats. I tested an Astro with a 200 and Sabre/150 from another “new” dealer. When I told Mr. Splawn that I was going with BassCat he told me “You made a good choice. Theyre family owned and build a great bassboat. I sell more pontoons and flatbottoms anyway, but well be here to service your engine if you need it.” BAM! 20 yrs later still here and still proud to be in the family. Thanks to Mr. Splawn, when I step in a BassCat, I know I made the right decision. Merry Christmas to all the BC family, especially the Pierce family and all of their friends/family that build boats to make this a wonderful experience…Amen to all!96 Eyra/12 Mercury 175 Pro XS with 2015 single axle trailer2017 Victory Gunner
