Thanks guys for your responses. I also fish the VA Bass Fed. Nation and fish the tournaments as a non-boater. I have fished from Tritons, Rangers and Nitros. Never in a Bass Cat from all of my reseach (believe me I have done a lot) I feel this could be the boat for me. I think I can speak for many….I am apprehensive about going into debt with the economy as it is right now. I have been looking at used boats and there are some great deals to be had but I have decided to keep chuggin along with my Triton aluminum a while longer.
