AJF, I'm a big BassCat fan. Gutsy I'm quite impressed with he Evinrude EtecG2. From every report I've read it is evolutionary game-changer that goes beyond dated Merc Technology. Torque, power steering, fuel efficiency with OEM standard 5 year warranty has been widely reported successfully for vast majority with very minor hiccups. After almost a year out the reports are outstanding. I'll be getting one some day. Impressive combo!!!!!
+Thomas Moore Funny, out of ALL large outboard motors, I see MORE Ficht and E-tec motors at the 3 different shops I frequent, sitting there with problems, than all the other makers COMBINED. Just sayin'. My personal preference would be simply an 18' bass boat with a good tried & true 150 Yamaha HPDI. I know a big boat dealer in central Florida who sells all the major manufacturer's outboards, and he told me that even though he likes other set ups, he swears that 150HPDI is the best damn outboard ever made, hands down, for reliability & overall performance. He likes the bigger HPDI's, but the 150, according to him, is an absolute gem.
Hey Joe, could you give us an honest assessment of the 2016 BassCat and the 2017 Ranger... why you made the move to Ranger in 2017? Not looking to bad mouth any boat manufacture, I'm sure both boats are awesome. I'm in the market for a new boat and considering both BassCat and Ranger.
Tac001 yes, I would be better suited to give the assessment at the end of the year after running the Ranger for a full year. I ran Bass Cat for the past four years. Three different hulls, great boats. Give me a call in a couple weeks 954 969 1772 an get more n depth for you.
Dude...I just watched a vid of your 17 Ranger!! lol That was a quick change. Inquiry minds wanna know???? Give me the skinny....should I pass on the bass----cat? lol
+The Bopper , yeah man, it's an awesome boat. I loved the Bass Cat's too, great boats. Bass cats that I ran were like Ferrari's the Ranger is like a smooth Cadillac. Both great companies that stand behind their products. Both make models that will fit your needs.

bass cat rules
Truth
sick boat but why a evinrude?
Its incredible for efficiency, power, hole shot, top end and maintenance.
alex korn the new evinrudes are sweet
I don't want to be mean and I love your channel,but most pros run Evinrude in the FLW because of that sweet bonus they get.
There is no bonus. It’s a better motor
