      First memories of fishing out of a boat were in my grandfather's early 90s Pantera 2. Also snuck my first drink of bush on the deck while he was cleaning it out of at the end of the day. Even at 8 years old I knew it was a quality boat. 👌

    Texas. I LOVE the "IN-YOUR-FACE-NO-BS" calling both "BALLS-N-STRIKES" opinions and commentaries, Andy. Your "REAL dude" presentation of the products you spotlight are both ENTERTAINING and INSTRUCTIVE. I've learned a lot from your channel. In a nutshell, having someone like you break down 20 or 30 years of boating experience and allow someone like me, a novice, to gain some EXPERT advice is PRICELESS! I feel like I'm standing on the shoulders of a giant and getting to see the really good and important stuff as I endeavor to make informed decisions in this field of interest. Thank You.

    My best friend has a bass cat cougar and has had it for over 20 years. To this day we both fish out of it on lake fork here in Texas and to be honest with you it looks just as good today. He’s had very few problems with the mercury OptiMaxx 200 hp. We’ve done everything from bass fish to duckhunting out of that boat. I would not say it is screaming fast but the ride it is as good as any boat I’ve been in. The people at bass cat know how to really put a boat together.

Based in Cape Town, South Africa and Secretary for SABAA (South African Bass Angling Assocation) Western Cape Branch affiliated to B.A.S.S. So yes we have a qualification route from South Africa via our National Champs to fish in the US to ultimately qualify for a Bassmaster Classic birth. Love this channel to bits due to you calling it like it is! Keep up the good work. And come visit us some time. We have different spawn time (around Sep) so you can have 2 spawns in one year!

    Some locals said stay away but I brought my boat there last summer and could not have been treated any better.
    Figure a shop exposing themselves on UA-cam and Social Media has to care about their reputation and I was right. (other than a prop I ordered I never heard anything about) but it was gonna be a spare anyways. Keep up the great work and Blast From The Past. Mid 90s Champion (had one so I am biased 😉)

    Can you possibly do a video on re-powering 90’s Bass boats with a new 4 stroke. For instance, I have a 1998 Hawk Super 1800 by John Storie. Love the boat and would like to repower. My issue is that it is rated for a 200hp but in 1998 200hp 2strokes we’re around 430lbs. Can my transom handle the new 200’s or should I put a 150 on it since they are quite a bit lighter? Thanks!
