I am guessing 97?
My 96 still had a single axle trailer with it.

Good choice !!!

Re: New to me boat - 12/01/15 03:37 PM

Rockfisherman- I think there was always (well almost) an option for a duel axle trailer. My '93 had one.

Re: New to me boat - 12/01/15 03:46 PM

Gotcha, got mine used. Love the ability to push the single axle
trailer around when needed.

Great boats, all years!

It's a 96 thanks 19 ft with 200 I really like the cat I guess I'm going to order new seats from bass cat I took it to several places and the quoted me anywhere from 500 to 750 to reupholstered these. I'm going to upgrade the carpet seats and latches then ill have the cat like I want her!

Re: New to me boat - 12/01/15 08:34 PM

Nice boat. Those figures for re-upholstery are about right. I would expect BC to charge you quite a bit more than that for new seats. Moral of the story - store the boat inside.

Nice boat! cheers

Re: New to me boat - 12/01/15 10:14 PM

New ones from BC are $625 and just the skins are 350 from BC. I take care of all my stuff it stays under a roof if it belongs to me. I didn't have a clue it would be cheaper to order new seats from BC than put new leather on what I have.

Re: New to me boat - 12/03/15 09:34 AM

I'm going to cedar creek this afternoon for the first time in the new boat. Can't wait to fish from this 19 ft. I'm sure it's going to fish a lot different than my old 17 ft I had.
Posted By: BrotherB

Re: New to me boat - 12/03/15 11:11 PM

Well the bass cat put me on the fish today. It fishes very good this if the first day I have fished out of it.

Nice mate and welcome to the club... Love my 04' Sabre. I actually had a guy ask me what I wanted for it on Fork Tuesday.

Re: New to me boat - 12/04/15 01:16 AM

Yes the sabre is the 18' model, if I wasn't at work I would post my old 94 pantera II I had and my 09 pantera classic I just bought. I don't think I could ever own another brand again

Re: New to me boat - 12/04/15 03:11 AM

Yes I already figured that out by ordering new seats carpet and latches!! It's going to take a while to catch up after this.

18' is correct. When you get home post some pic Dosser. You didn't wait long to pull the trigger on some seats. Haha... Way to go. I fish Athens so I'll have to keep an eye out for ya. The only knock on the cat is when using the seat you are really on the nose of the boat. Sometimes I wish I had just a little more room.

Re: New to me boat - 12/04/15 04:13 AM

I'm not a seat guy when I'm fishing on the bow although the older I get I'm sure that will change but for now I like not having to walk around it. Those are the only seats I'm not replacing which they are in good shape anyway and don't need replacing.

Stop and say hey. It will be the one hooked to the silver 4 door flatbed dodge dully.

Nice kitty Brother, I saw the ad for it, you got a REALLY good deal on that rig.
Posted By: BrotherB

Re: New to me boat - 12/05/15 04:06 AM

Shh frank you never know someone else may decide they have to have it.

Thanks although I thought I gave to much bolt

Re: New to me boat - 12/06/15 04:29 PM

If you get tired of it you can park it at my house. Please fill it with gas when you bring it over and oil. You can leave the rods in it too. That's all.
Posted By: BrotherB

Re: New to me boat - 12/06/15 05:50 PM

I did fill it up yesterday and it only took 40 gallons to do it. Didn't know they where two 20 gal tanks
Posted By: Dosser

Re: New to me boat - 12/06/15 09:09 PM

My 94 was dual 24 gallon tanks and you could definitely tell when they were full trying to plane out
