Yes, but only one or two. The design a boat webpage is only designed to give you an idea. If so, is it possible to see these anywhere? At a dealership.Q2: Puma, Cougar, Eyra: Which has the widest front deck? Every inch matters. Puma FTD and Cougar FTD.Q3: Puma, Cougar, Eyra: ALL things being equal which has the quickest hole shot? Weve got a lot of Triton smack talkers out here and my 06 Puma only ran 75 with a Verado. Why do you ask about holeshot and jump to top end speed. Theres not a Triton in the line up that will ourtun a Bass Cat. A lot with the hole shot depends on how its propped.Q4: Will Bass Cat factory install Lithium Smart Batteries? Why Lithiums? Expensive overkill.Q5: I like Mercury but I love the reliability & dependability of 4 Strokes more. So Im thinking Yamaha SHO UNLESS anyone out there knows if Mercury is coming out with an SHO beater? I would wait one year if they were. Yamaha SHO…………good luck.Widest front deck boat with the fastest top end speed………………Eyra. I can only assume this is the reason for the Lithium batteries. If youre worried about some Triton smack talkers you can should be able to take them easily with any boat in the line up as long as they are comparable in size and hp.
