I am looking for some advice n the best Bass Cat model to consider but I have several stipulations that I must meet:1) My garage is 16 X 20, the measurement from back crner to edge f the 15 door is 25 4″. I need a model that wil fit in the garage, I know it wil probably need to be angled.2) Woud like to stay under 50K if possible3) I would like the electronics to be 9″, to make it easier for me to view4) I wil be primarily be fishing Falcon Lake, Amistad Lake, and Sam Rayburn. Kentucky Lake when I go home to visit.5) Looking for a boat to hold me over til I retire in 8-11 years, then I wil buy a new one for retirement.6) Looking to start fishing tournaments in the next few years.Please offer your advice and opinions as to the best model to meet these criteria.

What size boat are you interested in and we would be glad to determine if that would fit your garage, then if not suggest the largest in the segment close that will. BCB

The new Pantera Classic is what you are looking for.

Tight garage space…. single axle trailer so you can move it around???Basic boat motor and trailer is one thing, the electronic toys are another.More devices means larger batteries.My advice is to get the electronics that links to the other devices that you are installing and plan to install.Post pictures of your purchase

I know theyll put the Eyra on a single axle trailer and itll run basically as fast as the new Classic with 200hp is my understanding, havent priced one yet so not sure if it can make the under $50k though rigged that way should save some dough. It also has a much bigger fuel capacity than Classic as well as being longer and wider, which should help with the big lakes and fishing tournaments.

I have a 2018 Pantera 2 on a dual axle trailer. I angle mine in my garage. If I raise the front jack all the way up it lifts the front tires up so I can push the boat in by hand and swing it to the proper angle on my garage. You might be able to do this with other models as well. Take a look at the Caracal, PII or Classic.

If you consider the Caracal, Id recommend the twin rear tanks option if looking for more fuel capacity as it helps with bow lift as well as giving you the under seat storage.
