schodackbassman, thanks for your input. My eyes are fryed from reading all of the posts and FAQ section, the posts are exactly why I decided to bid on the Bass Cat over any another brand. Bank repos are at an all time high with this economy and some good buys are available if you look hard. Boats, RVs and ATVs seem to have taken the biggest hit as many bought their toys during the real estate boom and used their home equity as an ATM card. If I could figure how to post pics you could see its a beauty and bought for more than $7,000 less than the NADA average boat value.
