Can someone please give me accurate measurements on the inside dimensions of the 3 dry storage compartments on the front deck of the Puma FTD and also the 2 rear dry storage compartments. Please include the individual measurements of two smaller openings that are under the large lid on the front deck. Length, width and height are what Im looking for. I am also curious as to where the measurements are taken for the overall length of the boat. Is it from the tip of the bow to the transom, where the jackplate would mount, or is it from the bow to the farthest point in the stern? Thanks in advance. I saw my first BCB at the BASS northern open in MD and was very impressed. If the Puma truly rides better(smoother) than my Champion 198 Elite, I will be a fellow BCB owner by 2010. Steve

Steve if i get some time today i will try and measure for you. I was a many times over champ owner. i never had a 198 but i did have several each 196s and 193s as well as a 203. I will say once you learn the driving of the Pumas it does ride as well I even think better than my Champs. beleive this or not but it will turn better without a doubt. i have been putting in a lot of seat time and play time this boat is truly amazing.. doug

We would love to help more now, though it will be a few days before the staff of BCB can answer those questions themselves. They are in the middle of the Owners Invitational and have about 500 boats in town to fish this week. Thank You for looking at a BCB and we will get someone to answer your question ASAP. BCB Admin.

Doug, Thanks for the measurements. I have one more question. The big front middle compartment has a divider in the center. What are the dimensions of the sections on either side of the divider? -Steve

That divider in the rearward front storage is the net scabbard. BCB
