Thanks guys… Great Advice from both.. My first bass boat was a 19Champ with a 175 Merc.. my last boat(not really as I still have to sell it) IS a Triton 186PDC with a Johnson 150…. Neither had any chine walk as I dont think they were fast enough. Im sure it will freak me out a bit when it happens on the Cat… The good thing is, I live in MN, and to be honest, we have 10,000+ lakes here, but few of them are big enough to go crazy long runs… This Puma has a 250 XS Racing eng on it.. and I have to admit, thats the only thing that scares me a little. When I get her home Ill take a few picts. Thanks again for the advice… Making a list now of questions to ask the seller.

Jim- so true! Vermillion is one of my fave lakes… We do have a few lakes that have some water in them. Most of the lakes in my area are only a few thousand acers.

Well, got the boat home on Thursday, prefished Friday, and had 2 tournament this weekend.. Didnt win either of them.. but got some hardwear in one of them. LOVE the boat… LOVE IT!!!! Fishes like a dream.. I still need some schooling on how to drive the thing, she starts to walk like a crazy woman at WOT.. I have tried lowering the hydrol jack plate I have tried lowering the trim… but as it says above, its probably going to take a little seat time to get it. Feels pretty darn good to be in the bass cat family!

Welcome to the family! I recently joined last week as well. I have fished out of a P4, which is one of the reasons I bought a cat as well, your going to love it!

As a newbie, I have yet to get into the basscat clique. A whole book could be written on this subject. I would love to help out if I can, but want to know if this is a serious post, or more of a jab at friends.

How cold were you?… Im a teacher in MN, it was -24 actual temp and a windchill of -41 this morning, and we were not even 2 hours late…

[DDittrich.basscatowners]

DEITZ,, THATS A TAD CHILLY…….I GUESS EVERYTHING IS FROZEN??????? ROBIN Yeppers, and for some time now. Last I checked we had about 20 inches of ice, the ole Puma will not see water for quite a few weeks yet.

LOL @ Tideman.. your no help!!! SOunds like we are in the same boat though.. Then again, lakes here in MN arent too big, I get er up to 70 and then hit the other side of the lake.. BTW, you will love your 997… at least I know I love mine.

[DDittrich.basscatowners]

Welcome to the family!!! Post a few picts when you get a chance.

[DDittrich.basscatowners]

[DDittrich.basscatowners]
