Congratulations to everyone involved with Bass Cat for a well deserved recognition again. You guys may say it’s the customers that voted you into this position, but ya’ll sure deserve the award. Personally I never dealt with another boat company so I have nothing to compare to, but I just don’t see how anyone can be better than ya’ll. Keep up the outstanding work, and thanks again for being the company you are.

Ill be there and may have 1 more with me. And Luke, Ill be happy to help out any way I can. I am sure looking forward to seeing all those new Cats!!Ronnie

Luke, I got a hub kit for it Friday and ran it yesterday in the Mermentau. Only thing i did was clean up the prop. Hole shot was very good. I didnt time it, but with around 40 gallons of fuel, m/t livewell, and by myself, it came out of the hole nicely. I hit 72.8 but failed to notice my RPMs. This prop is a lot better than my Power Tech prop. The lift is so much better. I will give you a call. Ronnie

Thanks BCB & OT57. Is there a recommended torque to tighten or just real good n tight? Ronnie

[RonnieF]

Yep, laid down like your Ford and Longhorns!!! Oh well, still SEC west champs. Guess that was some payback after we sorta took a little wind outta their sail last year. McFadden should win the heisman, the guy simply does it all. Tebow may be a stud, but McFadden is da man!!! Heck of a game. Ronnie

What a way to end this crazy year of college football!!! GEAUX TIGERS!!!!

Never a good static spark when you need one.

Chris, I was there from 3/19 until 3/22. I fished Palo Gaucho flats one afternoon, 1 cove just off PG to the south of it, and mainly the Indian Mound area. I crossed paths with a man and his wife in a beautiful white puma and charcoal bolt in the first cove south of the indian mounds headed to housen. I played with one bass that appeared to be between 7-8 lbs. Shed get off the bed, then rush back in, but she never would pick up my fluke or baby brush hog, or rogue. And believe me, i tried pissing her off too, to no avail!!! I may be back up there this coming week, but that LOBI has me thinking, maybe not!! Glad to hear you guys had a great time. Hopefully none of your gang got hit by the thieves going around!!! Me and Mr. Browning were ready for them, if any shenannigans took place!!! Take care Ronnie

[RonnieF]

Were you up there staying at Turtle Beach 2 weekends ago? Another thing, die a fluke on the bed, and after a while, curiosity, anxiety, and aggravation usually got the best of them!!! RonnieF

[RonnieF]

Oh Oh, i hope that is not a subtle way of saying im basically SOL on a case and need to get another lower unit. Ronnie

[RonnieF]

Yes i do have insurance. As for the impact. I never felt anything. I had the jack plate all the way up at launch, motor trimmed up. I had another person fishing with me, but i attributed that to the 3 or 4 mph speed drop off. Though at around 45 or 50 mph i felt some slight vibration and actually tilted the engine after shutting down to see if i saw any damage to the prop. I spun the prop by hand watching the shaft and didnt notice any wobble. I did hang up while fishing with the motor and had to trim up, but i thought it was a stump. Heck i guess it could have been a big chunk of concrete. Ronnie

[RonnieF]

Phil, Its a regular 225 Optimax with a remanufactured quicksilver lower unit. I will call the prop shop today and make sure of the specifics. Thank you, Ronnie

[RonnieF]

Sam, Ill give you a call as soon as i finish cooking and eating some lunch. The guys might not like me burning the food if i call now!!! Ronnie

[RonnieF]

I was planning on going up there Sunday, but i believe im gonna back it up to Tuesday through maybe sunday. I believe the La. Oilmans is friday & saturday. Lad and I had a great time in Palo Gaucho last year one afternoon, after crossing the lake from Negreet to PG with a northwest wind. Those waves bouncing off that big bluff on the Tx. side can get really big!!!Good luck, and let us know how you do,RonnieF
