I am new to the whole BCB world and found this wonderful owners board. I am getting ready to buy a new boat and would like some input on which models would be best for me. I will be on a new dealers prostaff and am switching from my Z20 ranger to a new BCB. Fish alot of tournaments and want the best all round boat. Looking at new Eyra. Anybody have any suggestions????

BCB believes that the Puma is the tournament boat to have and I have a 2000 cougar the eyra intrigues me but bI do like my speed and it is a little shorter. Seeing as you are coming from a R boat barge I think that the Puma may give you the stability you are used to and you will still be 5-7 MPH quicker and a much better ride.

I feel it is all a personal preference between the Cougar FTD & Puma FTD as I prefer the Cougar FTD front deck layout over the Puma FTD otherwise they are identical from console(s) back. The Eyra may be another good choice for you. Id recommend you look at and ride if possible in all three and then decide which boat is best for you… Good Luck….Sherm

1. Puma- considered by most BC owners and BCB to be the best overall tournament boat in the lineup.2. Cougar FTD- Still a strong contender with a little different layout.3. Jaguar- The biggest bass boat in the BC lineup, probably overkill for tournaments, not as fast as the others, but huge front decks. Russ Lane fished out of one this year. Most of the BC Elite pros use the Puma.4. Eyra- A boat that can use a wide range of engines, little narrower on the front deck than the others. Shorter by couple of inches compared to Cougar/Puma platforms. Load a 250 engine for a quick ride. Of course, a good bit of time in the off season should be spent learning to drive a BassCat, as it is night and day difference from the boat you are coming out of .Good luck and welcome to the family!96 Eyra/12 Mercury 175 Pro XS with 2015 single axle trailer2017 Victory Gunner

They are not mentioning that the preferred rig is the Puma FTD and the Puma is another excellent platform that is overlooked lately. It does not need a revision, it is a really nice fishing rig! The Eyra might be worth looking at coming from a Z20 as it is a little more similar in size than a Puma. Though a Puma FTD is our tournament choice. Thank you for considering a Bass Cat and we will be glad to help if you have any questions. BCB

Will there be any Eyras used on the Elite Circuit next year? I thought I read that somewhere. If so theyll be first to the whole.

I am looking over the comments on my post and am wondering how many folks actually have an eyra or have ridden in one. I am curious as to what kinds of speed and performance.
