Gotta question for you about the Squeezukies.

Are they made by Suzuki or are they a branded engine from another
manufacturer?

The reason I ask is that I ran into a really nice ten year old Bass
Cat Sabre in mint condition that has been repowered with a Suzuki DF
175 - price is right, it's in really great condition and the engine
only has 30 hours on it - two years old.

How about parts? There are a few dealers around my area all within 30
miles or so, so I can get it serviced if necessary.

I just don't know a lot about the brand - I'll admit it.

Bass Cats are my favorite bass boat. Rock solid.

Damn straight.

Back when I was active on the New England amateur trail, I had a Bass
Cat Sabre - loved that boat.

And, to really tell the truth, you couldn't ask for a better bunch of
people from Rick Pierce on down to the factory guys - wonderful group
of concerned and involved business owners.

I had a problem with that Sabre - one of the thru-hull fittings leaked
internally - I'd pickup 5/6 gallons of water every couple of hours in
the hull. *Apparently the supplier of the parts sent some flawed
fittings and pipe which wasn't caught immediately. Bass Cat sent a guy
up from the factory, picked up the boat, towed it back - two days
later there was a brand new Sabre in my driveway because they didn't
have time to fix the boat I had, so they swapped the engine out and
sent me a new boat. Shortly after that the dealer I bought the boat
from went out of business, but Bass Cat stood behind the boat 100%.

You can't ask for better service than that.

You know, why the hell am I looking at any other kind of boat?

Screw this - I'm buying a Bass Cat. *:)- Hide quoted text -

Hummmm.. Looks like they are in with Evinrude. Can you swap out the
engines or did you already sell the Ranger?
