I’m gonna say no. I don’t know for sure cuz I’ve never dealt with bass boats but I agree, the Pantera’s I’ve seen online all say max hp 200. The seller claims that the cracks were there before she had the 225 put on. I just want to know for sure if the cracks can be fixed or if I need to pass it by. I’ve read a lot of different forums and just about everyone I read say different about transom cracks. I’m gonna try and get in touch with bass cat this week and ask them. I’m leery about it but at the same time it’s in my price range if it can be fixed without breaking me.
