My New Ride!

Just over a week ago, I said goodbye to the 07 Puma and took delivery on my new Caracal. Ive had it out just 1 time and plan to get the 2nd trip in this week as the first one was cut short due to storms. Still in the motor break-in period, but so far like the ride and handling. Hopefully the next time out, I will get in some fishing time.From a constructive criticism perspective, there is one item I would suggest to BCB be addressed. That concerns the accessibility of the two aft storage compartments because the lids cannot be opened unless the rear sit-down seat is removed or elevated. Not a huge factor, but do wish these were different.C.

Want to send it to UCLA (Upper Corner of Lower Alabama) for break in? I am off part of this week and would be glad to help you get her broke in. Just kidding. Nice rig. Hope you enjoy.

Demos are purchased for the sole purpose of using them to take people to the lake to drive the boat… be it their first Bass Cat or first Eyra. I use mine to take people fishing or just to drive the boat. Im a firm believer that the best way to sell a Bass Cat is to take someone out in one. The boats will sell themselves. When demos sell… they sell as new with full warranties. Its a great sales tool for dealers to introduce people to the Bass Cat family.Andy GreeneGreene Boat & Motor828.286.2290Andy Greene Greene Boat & Motor 828-286-2290 http://www.greeneboats.com

Awesome looking boat, Mr Greene!!!! I would think that anyone that sees it or gets a ride in it will be wanting one. smbass wrote:Andy, whats a demo?”Demo” in this case does not mean “demolition”. “Demo” is short for “demonstration” or “demonstator”. Im not trying to be a smart butt. I know some people really dont understand the terminology or it might not be commonly used in their area of the country.

Dont presently have any pictures in full sunlight — may try to get a couple the next time out.The color is Wimbleton (off-white), almost an exact match to my truck. The bolt is Mocha with the trim as Sand.C.

Thats an awfully pretty boat. Im awfully paranoid about motors having blown one (2004 225 at 57 hours) and had a brand new one spin a sleeve (2010 250 ProXS) right out of the crate, but I want to say: Take your time. Break it in according to the manual. Im only 30 minutes or less to the water so when I got a new motor I just ran out and did my break in according to the manual all in one trip. I want to give Mercury no excuse to say a motor isnt covered because I didnt do or forgot to do something right. I like it in white. If I can ever afford a new boat I think Ill go all white if I can get it in pearl and silver flake accents.
