Pre owned Bass Cat boats

It is all a matter of you making a decision on the boat set up the way you want it. Just select the engine and sizes you want and try to stay where you will be happy. There are no years in these ranges to show preference for one year over another. There are some design differences which will give you a choice to got your style if not your budget.

Crowbar, when the boss said I could get a boat,I spent about 3 weeks researching . Mostly on the internet, if you read this page and bass boat central (BBC) and a few others , the decision proccess is alot easier . Go into the owner likes and dis likes,there are alot of clues there as to who builds a good boat & trailer. Just like Ford ,Chevy, Dodge, there is bias. But the cream will rise to the top. You wont find the perfect boat, it,s still waiting to be built ,but you can find people who are triing alot harder than others to build it! With that said ,motor warranty would be the next concern as stated before ( bamma96) . Buy the way I was boatless bank trash for 9 years before I bought my new 2 me 07 puma 250 pro xs! Lost my last boat in a bad wind storm ,when you have time I can tell you alittle about what insurence not to get !!! 9years boatless whith full replacement coverage! Lets just say your better off in your own hands…

The boats in the years you mentioned are all fiberglass construction and are as solid as they come. The biggest concern would be the engines. I personally wouldnt buy a DFI engine prior to 2003 without knowing the owner and how it was maintained. Whatever you end up with make sure you have the engine checked out by a reputable dealer. Bama probably has the best idea with making sure it has warranty. I however wouldnt worry to much with any of the EFI engines they have proven themselves to be very reliable. Bad thing is they can all pop. Good luck…you cant go wrong as long as you are in a Cat! Judd Lasiter

I think the out of the box warranty is 3 yrs. I bought an additional 3 yrs on mt opti.Someone else may be able to add more to this. Also Mercury does run specials some time on their warranties. Best check with a dealer or Mercury. Martin
