bigbuck Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 That is gonna be one heck of a nice ride when she is completed and hits the water!!!

aniceguy Posted April 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 (edited) day 2 of this god awful cold ro what ever it is....happy to come home and see some additional pictures I see the front rod lockers are installed and good to go, looks like he is working on the controls or the gas tank? I see also that finally the bass cat logo's are on the hull in bright gold In this picture I can see that the the storage compartments are done, they have wrapped the boat for protection, the vent is in and the PSI guage I asked for is installed Finally I got to see another part of the missing componant the fenders, which are the same color remmington steel as the cap, I think they look sweet With this weather I cant tell ya how antsy I am to get this new boat home, although Ill miss the daily updates I ll just go and watch it in the driveway Edited April 20, 2010 by aniceguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kickingfrog Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 WOW! That looks really fast even without an engine. Possible first conversation in new boat, yelled over the noise from the engine and roar of the air traveling past your ears: I said "Do I have a bug in my teeth?"

I have on a few situations been known to have to floss upon getting home.... it is a unique thread I dont think I have seen one where a boat build was documented from start to finish ever in this detail that I can recall Edited April 21, 2010 by aniceguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aniceguy Posted April 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 (edited) Corporate culture is a funny thing, either you have it or you dont. In todays society there are far too many corporations who's only intent is to bilk you the consumer. BASS CAT is a complete opposite never too busy to talk, or answer a question more then willing to send me daily updates and when I wanted something minor changed it was done immediately without cost. I asked them is this thier norma policy and the answer was that this is how they do things they dont know any other way, a customer is always right and deserves to be happy with the purchase So todays pictures look like a lot more finishing was done, the throttle was installed as was the trolling motor and the back vent stickers ect, looks like all the rigging hose is on and all we are waiting now is for the engine for those bored with this thread sorry but for those that are into this process as much as I am enjoy todays pictures feel free to post your comments on specifics of the build Edited April 23, 2010 by aniceguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fish_fishburn Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 She's really taking shape nice guy. I really like the colour combo you selected. Looks very classy.

pooch Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 Great post! When I was researching bass boats, bass cat seemed to always come to the top in terms of quality and innovation. You are going to be happy with that boat for many years to come. I love the colours and choices you've made so far. Sweet rig. I'm thinking that boat fully loaded will be unlikely to get past 70 mph. Add full live wells and a hefty fishing partner and 65 would be more likely. Fast enough, but don't want you to be disappointed on the top speed when you finally get her in the water. Fingers crossed I'm way wrong. Empty her out lift and trim it up and 73 is possible. I've heard those hulls are fast fast fast and stable. Did you buy through Upper Canada? Cheers and keep the updates coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this your first bassboat? thanks I appreciate the compliment, I was very uncertain on the colors but after the reasearch itreally made sense.

aniceguy Posted April 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 (edited) well after a few days the anticipation was killing me knowing that Bass cat has some new pictures. Todays pictures showcased the front deck ( first time I saw it so far) in full completion carpeted and with the 101 fortex installed The trolling motor looks a bit daunting with a 52 shaft but in the angle it stands out for sure And finally an updated view of the dash with all the gages including a psi guage Im sure soon I ll see the steering wheel Looks like the trailer, the engine and some minor button ups and its good to get shipped this Thursday The chrome bezels look really sweet Edited April 27, 2010 by aniceguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
