I am selling my Bass Cat. It really pains me greatly to do this. MY son Sam is in the hsopital with an issue that doctors say is a long-term recovery. He is 22 yrs old and quite the athlete - not like his fat dad! My focus is going to be totally Sam with work squeezed in on the side. I am balancing two jobs right now - college , private school and some grad school costs so if I can't enjoy something or dont have time anymore it is gone! Priorities can change fast. So here's the deal - this is just a shout out. I will post some pictures in a bit - please do not PM me or text me - I will not have time to answer - I just wanted to catch those folks attention that may be looking for an exceptional used boat that were thinking of a boat buying decision in the near future.</p>
Boat is paid for. I put a L HDS 8 on the console and an HDS 7 on the bow linked with structure scan recently - Tom at fishing fun did the work and can tell you more. Jared at fishing fun does all my maintenance and can tell you anything else you want to know - I basically over maintenance when it comes to maintenance. He should have good records. The trailer on the boat has brand new tires, a brand new winch, new carpet and a recently added back up light - 5 pin connector. Fiberglass steps and dual axle - very sharp - If you have never had dual axle all I can say is you will never go back to single axle. Boat has built in rod holders on port and storage on starboard with plenty of space. There are two large tackle storage lockers that lie between the rod lockers and a third locker that is huge and can handle like 20 plano boxes across with storage for morre in front of that. All lockers and maintenance access are lighted. Livewells are lighted. Boat alarm. Hot foot with slider. 225 Optimax. Mercury Smartcraft gauges. Pump out pump in live wells. Bike seat and regular seat. Two brank new Bass Cat custom life jackets. Three batteries - one cranking and two trolling - all relatively new - Sears Platimum Gels all the way around. </p>
I can high speed troll all day. Trolling motor is 82 lb thrust Motorguide. It works fine but if I kept the boat I probably would replace in the spring to a newer model with builtin transducer but that is just me. Dual gas tanks - This is a really nice feature. Each tank is 22 gallons so total 42 gallons of gax and with the Optimax you can run all day. Even though I run only real gas from Midnight Oil - Jared replaced all the lines last fall and made the boat compliant for ethanol. The motor already is compliant for 10%. So if you wanted to buy cheaper gas you could. Digital Fuel and Oil gauges on the Smartcraft - Manual trim, oil and water on the dash as well. Very easy access to all pumps and mechanical. This is one thing I really really like is that you can get to everything on or off the water. There are some scratches in the gel coat rubbing bushes on the river. There is a slow leak in the livewell which I have not had time to fix. Would not prevent you from fishing a TX but you would need to run the bilge every now and then. GPS clocks me at full load full gas two people at between 66 and 67 mph with fury 3 blade SS prop. There are trim levers on both sides of the padded steering wheel It is single console. </p>
I have loved it - Lifetime warranty on the hull. Awesome boat will price later and post pictures. I am breaking my heart but you do what you have to do and there will be other seasons to do this. Note - if you low ball me then I wont deal with you at all. This is only posted here right now but as soon as I put it on the Bass Cat Forun it will be gone. Thanks Bill</p>
