Always wanted to be apart of Bass Cat. Never dreamed the wife would approve it though, but went down to Temple the other day and bought a 06 Puma with a opti 225. What a pretty boat, just like all the other cats. This is my first boat, and I realize exactly how dangerous I am. Doubt Ill be seeing much over 50 for quite a long time. My only concern right now is trying to figure out how to drive this thing safely I have very strange days off Tuesday and Wednesday so I have virtually no big motor experience. I was planning on heading to Fork after I picked up the boat to spend an entire day with a guide, that I have became friends with, to have him show me the ropes. That is going to have to be put off a week or two so any tips would be appreciated. Im praticularly nervous about cornering since it appears this can get squirlley(sp) even a low speeds. Right now Im planning on taking the boat out on a little 1,700 acre lake in the area that sees virtually on traffic on Wednesdays. I fully aware at what a newbie I am so will listen to anything. Fire away. I cant tell eveyone how lucky Ive thought everyone was to own a Bass Cat, and how proud I am to now fall into this group.
