The new Boat is on the way so just bumping this to the top.  Ready to make a deal and find a new home for this lucky Eyra.

I ordered my Puma STS on 8/3rd, we had a few questions from the factory on the order so my guess is it went into the que about 8/13th or so.  I picked my new boat up the 18th so that is almost exactly 7 months.  I know they move orders around a little based on availability of molds, equipment, motors, etc…. so I would not be surprised if yours is a little ahead or behind my timeline.  I know the wait is difficult but this new boat is AMAZING and well worth the wait.  Everything was just as I ordered it and build quality is perfect.  Starting the break-in this weekend and will post pictures and feedback then but you will not regret the wait, nothing like a Cat.

Very good question.  I have two 12″ graphs up front (one Humminbird and a Garmin).  I mounted my Humminbird for my 360 at a bit of an angle to fit my Ultrex.  The Garmin is now going on a 3″ riser on the top tier of the bow area (at the same angle) to miss the trolling motor blades and top of the Humminbird unit below.  I am finishing up the rigging next week since I had to wait on the riser.  I  have some mock up pics but when I am done with the full install I will post pics.

I’m in Kansas City area if that helps.

Mine came with a 24 Fury.  I have a 250 Mercury and it came in back in April.  I have ran it in cold weather (50 degree water) and our recent hot temperatures (84 plus).  I am not a tackle junky but I have it fully loaded (tackle, gas and livewells) and found it to be pretty responsive.  The hole shot and acceleration is good.  I have a hydraulic jackplate but have not had to move it much (the boat likes it pretty low at 4-6).  I would still recommend one since it will help re-sale and running in rough water.  My top end has not been great (72-74 mph at 6K rpms) but it is easy to drive (no walking) and I think the motor has more in it.  Will probably send the prop off for work this winter and think I can get another 2-4 mph pretty easy without sacrificing anything else.  This is my 3rd new BCB after a Cougar and Eyra, love the way the Puma STS rides and well worth sacrificing a little speed IMO.
