Owned a Bass Cat Pantera II in high school. It was an ANIMAL on the water. Best boat I’ve ever stepped foot on for balance, weight distro, and sheer power. She was a hefty beotch on the hitch though. Got it through a police confiscation auction for $4k at a year old. Dude was running drugs on it across the lake from Canada to Michigan. Had double screens and trollers with tracking (as rudimentary as it was). This was in 1998 and that was unheard of at the time. Bass Cat was, and is, the premier bass boat IMHO.
I saw some of these for sale on Market place. they wanted something like $100 for them.
Had boss come to the sheriff's office to do the same for me, . Long story but Lawyer money latter I went back to work the same afternoon got a divorce eventually and have a clean record.
