I know you are just getting used to your Eyra but I am curious how you have your center front compartments organized. I am not a tackle junkie but I carry about 12-14 Plano boxes plus 4-5 soft sided worm bags. I fish a lot of buddy tournaments so I would like to leave the back compartments for my partner (who is a tackle junkie but catches more fish so I have to put up with him). Do you have enough space up front for all your gear? The local dealer has the twin to your Eyra for sale but I want to make sure it will work.

Bought a 7-6 Veritas this spring specifically for the A-Rig. Paired is with a new Lews Tourney Pro, love it. Smacked em good for two weeks at LOZ this spring.

No I ended up ordering a new Cougar Advantage. The Eyra was a demo that Jay had, great boat boat but I just couldnt get over the color. I was beautiful but real dark and I hate the heat. This one is silver mist, white insert stripe and raspberry trim stripes.

Congratulations, sounds awesome. Great colors cant wait to see it. Ordered mine 5 weeks ago, how long ago did you order yours. May have to start sending the guys at the factory some Bryants Bar-B-Que to get mine bumped to the front of the line!!!

No I ordered from Midwest Marine. Havent checked with Jay for a since last week (been buried at work). Just a little jealous, ill give him a call tomorrow. Probably wont matter since we are getting ten zillion inches of snow tomorrow and wont be able to get on the water till who knows when. I really start to hate winter this time of year and Im a goose hunter!!!

Jerrys a great guy and he takes good care of his stuff. Itll make a great boat for somebody. They waypoints alone should be worth a lot!!! Good Luck!!

[Dennis M]

Wow, what a great read!! Are you kidding me, the owner of the company personally got involved to fix a problem and then took the time to professionally respond to an ex-customer that is one of those one in a thousand guys that will never be satisfied. I am partners in a small business and I know how tough it is to satisfy some folks and then be professional when they are unreasonable! You guys are building my new boat right now (I hope) and I could not be more confident that it will meet all my expectations. Have been kicking around the idea of driving to the factory to pick it up just to meet you guys in person. I really hope my schedule will allow it. If I dont get down for the pick up Ill drop by the next time Im at Bull Shoals or look you up at the owners tournament.

Helmet, no fogging and much warmer!!!

[Dennis M]

Where are you located? I have had similar cosmetic repairs on my old boat and Shoreline in KC area took great care of me. Be glad to hook you up with them.

[Dennis M]

Saw your post on BBC, didnt know you were a Bass Cat guy. If you need a good marina for your cat you can count on Midwest Marine in Harrisonville. Jay can hook you up with Jerry or I for a day or two at Truman. Just let us know when you get moved in!!

pops77s you may want to think about changing your photo, us MU guys may leave you hanging on the first big tree we bump into, ha. We could probably get a black and gold logo if you want???

[Dennis M]

I ordered a Cougar Adv. Elite. Silver & White with Raspberry stripes (and consoles) and a black boot. Picking it up tomorrow (less trolling motor, that will be installed next week) so Ill get some pictures. Should be warm and dry enough for some motor break in and a quick course on the new Humminbirds.

Dont know how much performance you want but my 2013 Cougar AE with a Mercury 225 Pro XS is hitting 75 MPH in the cooler water (72 MPH this weekend in 90+ degree heat). Thats with two guys and a full tournament load. Absolutely love it and passed several bigger boats on Sundays take off. Actually out ran one guy headed to my spot (the spot turned out to be a bust but that is beside the point). He got so discouraged he finally backed off and gave up, first time I have been on the winning end of that deal.

I also use the 76″ Medium Heavy Veritas (not the Heavy!) along with the Lews Tournament reel. The Lews Tournament in 6.4 has brass gears, its a little heavier than the Tournament Pro but will hold up to the abuse of an A-rig. The rod retails for about $95 and the real $150, wait for a sale or use your Christmas gift cards and youll do better!! Ive caught a lot of fish on this combo and thrown both heavy and light set ups with no problems.
