Wow, I am a 2x Eyra owner that came out of a Puma. Heres my 2 cents. Ride: puma is actually faster,and has little better hole shot / Eyra sportier feeling, and to me more security b/c you sit lower in boat. To me Eyra more stable running in a chop little side to side rocking that I experienced in my puma, and definetly better in rough water. Small windshield works much better on Eyra . My Eyra is very temperamental when it comes to shifting weight if you move tackle around it effects the feel and performance of the ride. Fishing Platform: Eyra feels wider and longer when in actuality its not. I like the coffin style lids, however I do miss the net storage set up in Puma. I also miss the big step cooler in Puma my Eyra cooler is pretty small. The center step glove box in Puma is also larger. I believe the openings to back compartment on Eyra are larger but storage space is same size. Compared to FTD. I love the incorporated bow light on the Eyra. Storage space seems to be equal. My co anglers occasionally complain about the 4 hinges instead of 2 on Puma back lids. ( I just tell me go by your own boat then you can fish up front haha. Im 6,4 was 250 now Im 216 I fit behind wheel fine, leg room for non hot foot side isnt as roomy. I sometimes felt like I was really reaching to secure that leg in the puma. But I do miss it in smooth water and long runs. I think they are both great boat Eyra a little more eye appealing. I think you will be happy with either choice feel free to IM me and Ill get in touch with you.
