Ive just seen them, Eyras, in the water, but owned a early Cougar FTD, a 2003, and the one big difference to me is the fact that the Eyra sits lower in the water than the Cougar or Puma. I would guess that the bow lift would be proportional to the size of the boat…meaning about the same, but corning on the Eyra my guess would be some what sharper!! For me the Cougars / Puma FTD are about the best ones out there insofar as bassboats are concerned, of any of um. IMO.
