Guys who want rayburn or TB: While I would love to have it at a lake of that quality and for the louisiana guys to attend, this is about the Texas BCB guys. A lot of states and areas already have a gathering to attend, we do not. The two lakes selected, might not be perfect, but they are a more viable option for the state as a whole. Also, one of the biggest complaints I hear it market saturation with tournaments. Id hate to make someone decide between us and another gathering if it came down to it.
After a few weeks of group input and voting, we have selected this years lake and date to hold our Inaugural Texas BassCat Owners Event!Date: November 14th (Sunrise to 3) Lake: Cedar Creek (Fishermans Wharf)Entry Fee: $100.00 Per boatFirst off, 15% of all the entry fees will be donated to a charity (www.ywam.com). This entry fee also pays for food and beverages after the weigh in. We will be having a cookout with plenty of hot dogs and burgers to go around. Fishermans Wharf will be able to provide us a site where we can launch, have a weigh in, and a cook out on their campsites. They have sites available for RVs to rent.We would like to thank everyone for voting and giving their input. Now for the important part, the BCB owners showing up to make it a success. To award BCB owners for making the trip, we have obtained sponsorship through some great companies to give you even more incentive to come. We would like to sincerely thank these companies for their support. They have gone above and beyond to help make this the best event we could put on. They will allow for us to have every angler walk away with a great product and some great prizes to give away. There is no exclusivity to this. All our welcome to help make this event the best possible.We will be able to give away a care pack to every angler that attends. This wont be the junk off the back shelf. This will be BCB items, trophy baits, and new products to use.Any and all BCB boat dealers are welcome to come to our event. Due to proximity to the event, Rockwall Marine will be our dealer host. Rockwall Marine brings years of experience and dedication to the BCB family to the event. They will be on hand to answer questions about the 2010 line up of boats. [size:11pt]Not to mention Mr. Yetts will be bringing his 2010 Jaguar to the event to let TBCOE get a glance at the model.[/size] It is still in the build process and I cant wait to lay eyes on her. We would also like to welcome BCB Pro Staffer and Elite Series Pro James Niggemeyer!James has been in a BCB for 12 years now, and bring extensive knowledge of our boats the table. We are teaming with James and his favorite charity, Youth With a Mission. 15% of all donations and entry fees will go directly towards the amazing work this organization is doing. Please take a moment to read about this charity and take a look at James website!www.lakeforkproguide.com [url=http://www.ywam.com%5b/size]www.ywam.com[/url]This is just the first round of announcements. In the following days we will be releasing prizes, guaranteed 1st place $$, rules, and lodging information. We are doing everything in our power to make this the best event possible. Like we have said, it is up to YOU, the owners, to get it there.

We have members from all over our state and some from out of state lending us their support. Make the drive, enjoy the community, catch some fish, walk away with some great new gear.
With all the add-ons and the low hours, I would be needing 22,000. Power pole – 2 weeks old, hds-7 a month old, fortrex 4 months old.
Id love to see a pic of the jackets with the logos.
Thanks Phil and BCB. Looks like I might have to reconsider then.
Im not TOO worried about top end. Id rather my boat draft less and allow me to fish a bit shallower and lose a few MPH. If I repositioned the batteries and charger, would it make a significant difference? or am I just talking centimeters.
PhilAddison wrote: Repositioning the batteries and charger is not going to buy you much. As you say, maybe centimeters. Where are you planning on repositioning them too? As said above, youll do a little better by minimizing fuel, water in the livewell, and get about 600 lbs on the front deck. And then you might gain 3 or 4 inches clearance.Where I could move the batteries would have been my next question! As of right my charger is attached to the transom and all 4 batteries sit against the transom If I could move them, thatd be 180 or so lbs repositioned., lightened gas tanks, additional weight up front and I might be able to get my clearance.
Im all about getting through skinny water in spring time! Looks like I will just leave those gas tanks empty.
Not mine, but a gorgeous cat that my next boat will be designed after.
