Dag Gummit Darron! lol.
But yes jeff, its an old ranger, but new to me! haha. I still worked hard for it and am awful proud of her! Shes my new girl friend. I ride her allllll the time!!!
Oh brother. [emoji43] u guys are meatheads.
congrats Dan, I know they have been around a long time and make a good boat, im sure it will serve you well
My old turd of a boat (hydro sport) can still get me to the fish.
Thanks CL! I never intended to bash Ranger. They are definitely a top tier boat, but since I was going to special order what I wanted I felt Bass Cat was my obvious choice.
Like I said the plant tours sealed the deal for me. It was just a totally different experience going through the Ranger plant and then going through the Bass Cat plant. I Love fishing! Especially Crappie fishing! If anyone likes fishing and fishes out of a bucket I would consider them a friend. Like I said before the boat does not make the fisherman and it especially does not make the man!

Birdie can't keep his ranger clean cause he's always putting those stinky fish in it. Now I use to keep my ranger clean. Wonder what that means.
I'd be more concerned that the PRICES are going to go up on all glass boats. BPS now controls almost all small boat production,and when you have a monopoly you can pretty much control the market. The rich get richer...
Will the price of boats go up? Probably! But not because BPS has a monopoly. I wouldn't buy a boat from them if I had to fish in waders. I have ran 2 businesses for a total of 50 plus years. I will support the smaller companies who are more interested in customer service and building a quality product than a big company that is constantly worrying about increasing their profit margins. Sad when that is job one! I am ok if I have to pay a few more dollars in the initial cost.
As far as rising costs look at the price of outboards, electronics, etc., etc. plus all the bells and whistles many of us expect on a new boat.
