Cappy, My first Basscat had a Yamaha on the back of it and the thing would not run. I had Yamaha and Basscat involved Yamaha kept blaming Basscat saying the boat had a bad bottom and just wouldnt run. Basscat kept saying the motor was bad. It go so bad that Mr. Pierce himself brought another motor to my service center and strapped it on the back took it to lake and proved to Yamaha it wasnt his boat. I ended up with a new motor. If bass cat can make it right they will. Now the other side of the story my last two Basscats have had so many little things wrong with them from the factory that Ive decided Im just going to kept the one Ive got because I dont want to have to go through it again. I understand they expect their dealers to go through them with a fine tooth comb but that doesnt always happen. By the way, the boats went through two different dealers. In my opinion the factory should make sure that they are at least 99% ready to go. I understand their going to miss things but stuff like not siliconing in the drain plug is not one of them and that happened on my last two. One maybe but two in a row thats not good quality control. I could go on and on about what was missed but no need in it. So did they make it right, yes they did. They even came to my house and picked the first one up and brought it back to me. There is no better Bass Boat out there. I believe theyve just had a couple of bad years with their quality control and they have come to realize it. At least it seems like it to me, with the questionare theyve sent out and some of the comments theyve post on the board in last few months. My first three ” boats” came out of factory perfect.
