I totally agree with all comments above. As for customer service, a lot of companies talk it, but almost none walk it. I owned 4 other brands of boat before my Puma, and none even came close. One brand I will never own again, due too they not only did not stand behind their product, they treated me like I was a complete idiot. Another brand I fished out of the boat for 3 years, before I finally fished out of the boat with everything working properly (at least that company stood behind their product, but still frustrating experience). I think the specialness of BCB starts with the quality of their products. Very few even come close. As I look at more and more boats, they seem so basic, unappealing and lesser quality than I ever realized. Even my friends and non-boaters have noticed. Its unfortunate that finances keep a lot from spending the extra to get quality, service and a constant smile. Unless something drastically changes (which I doubt), I am Bass Cat for life!
