I would absolutely purchase a Puma, jaguar, or Lynx with no carpet and a non skid deck, even if the non skid was not padded. I had two Triton versions of this kind of boat years ago and loved how easy it was to keep the deck clean. Also, it frees us to fish both fresh and salt water with fewer worries. I say give it a try BassCat. I bet you would be surprised by the number of boats you would sell. You know much more about it than I do though. I can only say that I loved my two Tritons with the nonskid fiberglass decks. To be completely fair, I absolutely loved my 2009 Bass Cat Puma that had carpet. Bass Cat is just such a high quality boat and would be the cats meow, pardon the pun, with fiberglass non skid decks. Come on Bass Cat, give it a shot!Last edited by Corky on May 22nd, 2017, 5:37 am, edited 2 times in total.
