Joey- New, they are more than I can afford!!!. way more.. IF you were to order what I described your looking at about 54,000... I am picking(hopefully) a 2007 version for slightly less...

Bob--- Its a 2007 Bass Cat Puma, 2007 Merc 250 XS Racing Eng.. IF you look, my orig post was back in sept of 2006... I have been dreaming about this boat since then... Please keep your finger crossed for me.. I drive to Ohio to pick it up on Tuesday.

If I were YOU.. I'd by Sly's Titanic... 14' Lund.. so Sly can put money down on a new boat!

Congrats Dietz and good luck!!

deitz, thats going to be the longerst drive of your life. Hope you have tail wind LOL

Awesome news Deitz. Sounded like an awesome deal from what you told me last night. If everything turns out as described, it's will be a very worthwhile trip to Ohio!

Can't wait to see it. I know you're gonna be VERY happy to be part of the family!

yeah, thats gonna be awesome! congrats !!!!!!!

Dietz...SWEET!

I want a ride.

LOL @ RW, seems like a lot of people do..

Thanks all for the kind words, I am really pumped.. .Leaving this evening to go get her.. Hopefully will have her ready to go for this weekend, I got a tournament.. I dare someone to try and get to a spot first.. LOL

Thats what I was thinkin. Nobody is going to beat you to the spot in that baby. Just set the cruise for 75 and you are all set. LOL.

Deitz can now use all the Chigger Brumbalow quotes.......

"You'd think I was lying if I told ya I could get there in about 4 minutes"....

"I was probably runnin' about 115 this morning, I'm here fishing, those other guys are still runnin'...."

"I always make those water patrol guys nervous...."

So I guess "Deitz's boat" as it's been called (My current PIV) will be up for grabs when it hits the market. Problem is, I like it so darn much I have had a hard time putting it up for sale to get a new one. I'll re evaluate again this winter and see if I wanna let her go.

I would love another boat for the river and no doubt a River pro it would be. Nice to dream.

I'll throw this out for Deitz as this post has come back up. I have/own my dream boat. Money was an object but I was able to get the deal done in a matter that I was happy with. I own a Bass Cat Puma with a 225HO ETEC. I won't get into the whole Merc vs. ETEC thing! Maybe! LOL

The Bass Cat ROCKS!!!!! I have owned a Triton and a Stratos and my dad owns a TR21X with a 250 Merc on it. Nothing!!!! Repeat NOTHING against the other brands but, nothing I've ever been in holds a candle to this boat! Ride is great, fishes level, finish is amazing, and most important, NO PLASTIC!!!! The dash of a lot of other brands are plastic. They rattle loose and crack over time. Mine is all Fiberglass. Great boat. I also put the 997 on the dash and another Humminbird in the front, interlinked them together which makes for one amazing combo.

Deitz, stop drooling! LOL You'll like yours almost as much as mine since mine has an Evinrude!!! LOL

evinrude......hmmmm

If money was no object I would prolly get a ranger but not sure which model. But my mind changes all the time just like when i went to cabelas today, i didnt know warrior made a bass boat. That thing was so sweet and i bet that boat rides smoooooth on the water and can break thru the waves and everything. I believe it was the model 208xl or something with a merc 250 pro xs. Then if it wasnt one of those two then maybe a skeeter. Those would have to be my dream boats and hope that someday i can own of those.
