I knew back in 75, while idling through an area of Millwood known as Ash Flats. I didnt have a Cat then, but the guy I was fishing with had the older TX series and we rolled from one stump (“bodark and Cyprus knees) to the other at a fairly fast idle. I asked the owner if he was worried about busting it and he answered “Naw, this is a Basscat”. I knew that day I would be a future Basscat owner. Got sidetracked to a Hydra Sports in 76 — the Kevlar persuaded me, BIG mistake, then bought my first Cat in 78, a 79 1500Vee. Been in a Cat ever since.Cashed some checks, filled some livewells, but most of all, in the past 30+ years of running a Cat on Millwood — they have been solid.Jones Trolling Motor Services870 773 3474Motorguide/MinnKota/PowerPole/Lowrance/Humminbird
