new boat

Brand new to the forum and trying to get my first bass boat. After hearing great things and fishing out of a Pant. Classic decided on a Cat. Found an 05 Puma with a 225 e-tech. Anyone running this combination? Any advise for the new guy would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried the 3dealers in Australia? They are listed on the dealership links at top of page…96 Eyra/12 Mercury 175 Pro XS with 2015 single axle trailer2017 Victory Gunner

Im more inclined to import one myself, dealer costs here could add up to around 15k or so more plus a lot of local dealers dont really know yank boats that well.

Seems to be a factor in Australia, though you might check the options as you can still import one. BCB

So getting back to my 1st post what dealer could someone recommend or can I deal direct with BCB??

BCB does not sell direct and will work through the dealers. They will arrange everything to get it the way you want and they will do a build sheet for you and will send that to whichever dealerships you select. As an FYI the containers will hold two (2) Margay models on 3″ frames and we would try and have someone else to reduce freight as that will be a significant portion of purchase should one container be half full. Half full is all freight vs. 50%.

I live in NSW Aus. I have a Margay. There is one in stock in QLD. Give me a call & I will help you out all I can. Mobile No. 0448215187. Good choice the Margay is a great little boat. BCB has got it right.

Thats a fine looking boat you picked up, I had my eye on it for a while and checked out every feature….It was loaded out! I decided to hold onto my PII for a while. There arent too many people like William and crew. He has went out of his way to get me out of a bind before.

Listen to BR200. Get the Ultrex. And if you have Birds, get the I Pilot link.

There is one significant reason not to get an Ultrex, $$$$$$$$$$$$$$.If that is not a problem, I would look into it for sure. Played with one last year when the Elites were in town. Pedal response seemed a tick slow, would take a bit of getting used to. Other than that, seemed great.

I got the ultrex and there is no going back now. It just plain and simple is the best troller Ive ever had. This one is easy if you seriously fish.

Yes, I am going with the Humminbirds. What is the difference between the two models?
