one thing is for sure, there aren't that many used bass cats out there. when people buy them, they tend to not want to sell them.

Because they can never get them out of the shop to use them or sell them!!!!


I wouldnt own a Bass Cat if it was given to me for free to be honest especially with a E-Tec

I have always considered BassCats to be fine boats, though I have never owned one. I have never run into anyone with a strongly negative opinion about them, until this. What experience did you have with them that turned against them? Like I said, I don't own one and have never owned one, but just curious for future reference.

This is the link. http://www.jdpower.com/Boats/ratings/bass-boat-ratings

As you can see, BassCat was first, Ranger was second and Skeeter was third in the bass boat category.

So they survey owners from those 5 brands only? I am just curious how this "survey" works....I see they have Ranger rated low in "fishing"...It would be hard to beat the fishability of a Ranger so I am skeptical on that one...

You guys are right BCB pays JD Power to be the winners...so does Evinrude, Grady White, etc. If you think the Pierce family has the money to pay JD more than the other bigger companies y'all are nuts. Give me a freakin' break!

Yes, there is a fee to partake in the survey and it is very informative to the companies that get the data back from their owners.

I am a Merc fan but Evinrude won. I wouldn't dare indicate Evinrude won because they paid JD more than the other 2. As a whole I can honestly say this past year the Evinrude owners as a whole were happier with their purchase than the other 2. Gives something for Merc and Yamaha to shoot for.

What a joke some of these responses were...be happy there is a company out there who cares what their owners think of their boats, customer service, etc it drives competition and we the consumers benefit from that.

I for one know BCB fixed and have taken care of some things that even I think are crazy just because they want to "earn" this distiction. For some of you to get on here and belittle or even question the honesty of this award is simply jealousy at its finest and y'all should be ashamed.

Any company that thought they would/could compete with them would be silly not to pay to play in this award because it does get attention and advertising that is worth it...not to mention if they went through the data they received back because that would make their boat even better.

I know the Pierces go through the data with a fine tooth comb trying to identify areas where they can strive to be even better. I have had the previledge to see some of the charts and spreadsheets they have created to address what they might consider areas to improve in.

Some of you really need to get a life. I am happy you like your boat and its equipment but to belittle this award is shameful. And specifically marlin...your numbers are completely made up and not even close to reality. BCB could be bigger if they wanted but they know that to take care of the customers up to the standards they have set for themselves they are about where they would like to and need to be. Bigger isn't always better in this scenerio.

My 2 cents I won't post on this thread again...not worth my time or aggravation.
