I love my Puma and its layout. It took me a couple of trips to get everything organized that made sense for me, but now I have more storage than I can use and it is very convenient, organized and efficient while fishing – literally have several empty compartments. I like the fact that Bass Cat gives us the option of the 2. The top decks really arent that much different though. I picked the Puma because that was the deal sitting in front of me not because of the layout. I would like to hear some feedback on why some of you like the Cougar floorplan different. Correct me if I am wrong, but arent the back deck, 2 rod lockers and center compartment the same. If so, that only leaves the small cooler, day box and the front compartments as the differences. Does the Cougar have a net storage upfront?
