    I hear a true engineer. This man knows his product and knows the nuances. I believe he could build almost anything. This owner knows how his product. The passion for cost vs value and what the end result means for the consumer. I somehow don't have the same confidence in Johnny if you catch my drift.

    If you were ever able to get Darris Allison to do an interview like that, you’d know why Allison is unbeatable. Full aluminum alloy transom and 100% hand laid, not one chopper gun in house.

      Understoood it's a really well built boat, but it's a specialty boat.

    Check out the rub rail on a 100 degree day the will have 2ft of slack bulging out. Keep a rubber mallet handy. Have seen this on my Eyra and on a Jaguar.

    Wow! How many builders would sit there that long explaining building processes and boat evolution? Only one I can think of. Rick Pierce builds great boats because he cares about boats and his boat owners! Many congrats on your purchase Mr Ken Smith! You made a great decision by buying Bass Cat! Can't wait to see the next video!

    Enjoyed this video Ken........ Love listening to Rick Pierce.... he has a no-nonesense way of explaining his point..... I can tell he 101% believes in his product..... Note: I wonder if he has any concerns about using "other than Owens-Corning" fiberglass... or if there will be any loss of quality..... Thanks for all that you do and share for your subscribers...

    I'm not a dealer but was invited to drive any of the models, I was originally told it would be on a weekend July 24-25, but now I'm being told it's just one day and that day is July 21. My question would be to what degree will they let you make changes on a boat for instance if I want all the bell's and whistles that a premium boat has on the livewells added to a classic, two aerators pump's, pump in and pump out , built in timers, upgraded touch pad, 28 ounce carpet, front padded deck, radio?

    • @danieljohnson8745
      @danieljohnson8745 3 роки тому +1

    Good video sir, since your getting into the construction of the boats can you ask about upper rail stress cracks, years ago I have had a new boat get them, had them fixed only to return, is it normal? can it be prevented? seems a lot of boats get them...thanks in advance

    I would really like to see more on their base model the Pantera Classic. I have been looking for the best budget friendly bass boat that’s still a great boat but every one always talks about the premium boats that are just out of reach for the average guy.

      Premium lineup isn't for many of non pros. I'm a weekend guy on smaller bodies of water. The p2 or classic is more practical in my case. BCB makes quality regardless ones budget.

    • @rickpierce8090
      @rickpierce8090 3 роки тому +2

      Allison Murphy Pope, we are back to 100% OC Glass now, after the TX deep freeze, and the answer is no. Many other bass boat builders use Jushi glass, we don’t for reasons and it’s cheaper to buy. We only used CTG and Jushi where it was non critical, flooring, storage boxes and parts that other builders often use plastic. We also got lucky and learned of the coming shortage by chance early fall. We stockpiled enough glass before the freeze. We bought 30,000 pounds on import glass at very high prices. We are now redistributing (selling) 15,000 of that back out to companies that are still under shortages, and trying to increase their production.
