That’s cool, that it’s been in your family through generations.
The Pierce family has the first boat produced and ran a National “Cat Hunt” to find it. They found the boat within 2 hours of home, having been sold in Indiana on the first retail sale. The second boat is in Rick’s possession and there are parts for it at the facility
Bass Cat does not have an interest in the boat as they have access to #1 for promotional use. It has the original trailer and the original 1970 engine. The boat was rebuilt with the same era carpeting, seats and colors. The trolling motor is a 1972 variation as is the Lowrance flasher. This was used multiple times in recent years, including on display at the last Owners Invitational. The plan is to place it on multiple dealers showrooms to allow public viewing.
