Thanks guys, and as some said here, I was shopping for my boat, not somebody else's. I let my analytics/scoring lead me to the final 3-4 boats, then I choose the one that I was most excited about owning. As for price, look all of them are expensive, and from my research online they are all within <15% of each other loaded with all the same bells and whistles. As for "team",,,,,not sure how to say this, I have been on several "team" deals and left them because of all the same reasons I started this process, so I started this process not to get a "deal" on a boat, or to be on a "team", I started it to find my next boat and hopefully my brand from here on. This was stressful, spending this kind of money and going to something you don't know, even with all the research and wheel time I did, I still kind of ground this decision out. And I didn't want "price" to play into my decision, I didn't ask but I suspect I could have gotten a great deal on a few boat brands that would have really like to have been the boat I choose as this series of videos have north of 600,000 views total (only about 11k glass boats sold in any given year, so most that are considering saw these reviews). But I owned those boats in the past, I had a Astro F18, a Hyrdo Sport and a Dynatrak that at some point or another I would have been thrilled if somebody had stolen out of the motel parking lot. I wasn't going to do be in that situation again. Brand matters, brand loyalty matters, and in my mind if you don't get being part of a boat "family", then you've never been in one.

So in the end, I bought the boat I wanted, and the key word there is "bought".

They are beautiful and good riding boats. But I always get a chuckle when I see a 300lb dude fishing on top of the nose of the boat.

Nice choice, if I had not had my back fusion I would still be in a BCB P2. All their models are excellent boats and Ken will enjoy the Lynx. Completely different experience from the Ranger. I find it amazing that people will criticize a dual console, there is plenty of room to get the front deck, on that boat rods will lay down, the console basically takes air space and nothing more. It gives his partner some protection from the elements.

I was glad that Ken spoke well of the Blazer, at this point in time I think they are the best looking new rig out there, however Champions are still the cream of the crop.

Ken, What dealer did you go though or did you buy factory direct.

I understand and agree with the fishing on the nose. I fish on the nose of my puma. The lynx,new cougar, Eyra and caracal allow you to move the peddle back along with the pedestal. Love my Lynx!

Ken you beat me to it on this, but I didn't realize it until I bought my first Basscat on how supportive the BCB owner's group boards are, how professional the dealer was, how great the customer service team in Arkansas is, etc. I definitely haven't felt that attachment with any of my previous boats.

BassCat guys do tend to be a sensitive group. The way Rick was crying about Kens reviews was pretty humorous, said he condoned Kens series and wanted no part of them....and then Ken goes and buys a BC. I bet Ricks head grew another inch bigger from pride roflmao

Pretty funny how you like to constantly comment about Bass Cat and Bass Cat owners. I never heard Rick “cry”either, at least I certainly didn’t interpret it that way.

I wonder how many other CEO’s, also former owner, personally talked with Ken, commented on a pubic forum, etc.? While I’ve talked to Rick and don’t know him personally the brief conversation I had with him I sure didn’t sense any type of ego at all, far from it. He’s one of the nicest, down to earth guys, around. I have never seen another boat manufacturer comment on here or BBC, have you? BCB also has their own forum where they also let owners sell their used boats, does your boat manufacturer do that? I don’t think we BCB owners are sensitive, we are just proud of what we own and what Bass Cat as a corporation stands for. Maybe one day you’ll be proud and get that feeling.

He was fishing and you bit hard hooked. Absolutely no offense, but I'm betting you just proved his first statement in his mind.

He just likes to comment on BCB owners and I know what he was doing, just thought I’d give him something to talk about now. It’s not like it’s his first time. I think deep down he has BCB envy but just doesn’t want to admit it.
