Indecisive- 08 Puma vs 08 Cougar FTD

One question answer could be financing and if you require financing then you will likely have to go new to get best terms. If you have a good local bank relationship, then you can probably make your choice.

Make your decision based on what you want in a rig. Look at the engine, boat, electronics, troller, other items of your interest. Make a decision on a boat that you will be happy with for years to come. We want our owners happy, and that is what counts. If you want brand A motor, then so be it, and the same goes for Brand B boat and all the other items. We work very hard at what we do and we dont get into the details. We do have a few in the family who have owned both brands of boats and flipped around. They can give you an idea of their experiences with this and how things were handled. Though we dont think most will compare or share these experiences. They also want you to make the decision and if you have any questions we would be glad to answer them! BCB

tschooler, dont know what you mean about “Weight Contradictions” in your post above, clarify and Im sure someone will be able to answer. We will all give you our opinions. I have ridden and fished out of just about all of them. Here is my opinion – my Puma FTD rides better, faster, and fishes as good as anything on the water. It is solidly constructed – fit and finished to the 9s. I had a guy stop me on the water in another brand some months back and ask me if he could drive my boat and put the TM down to see how it fished. I said yep and he did. If you can get the money then you need to drive and operate both if there is another in contention. There are other good brands out there but the majority of Cat owners who ran something else previously will tell you that they have found the best. I am one.
