[@JTfishing6130]

Gotta take that out and show us a video of the ride on the water. Badass boat

[@JohnCrews]

Coming soon 😎

[@billycraighead9814]

Crews that boat is sweet.I like Basscat.

[@quengodfrey6555]

That is the boat I need in my life. Like the layout of the boat. Like the rig job you did on the boat. Red is my favorite color. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@brandonpalmeryakangling]

And he enjoys rigging his own craft - Can’t wait to see it, John!

[@jeremypope9929]

Awesome. Back to the puma. The more I look at basscats the more I like them. Saw some videos with Rick talking about them

[@renaudtheis1197]

Very nice John. I love the lay out of the front deck and console area. You’re right about that carpet staying wet all the time. I can’t make up my mind about that sea deck material, i worry it will squeak when wet, I can’t wait for your feedback.

[@Sainte305]

Very nice boat. I'm still looking at a Gator Trax, love those boats!

[@mikethetoolman8776]

awesome boat and an awesome place to keep it!!!!

[@topraider5284]

[@eltondufrane4249]

Nice iam looking to buy a new boat love the look of the boat

[@johnhumphreys9732]

Absolutely want to see more !!!!

[@clydeglenn]

Your going to love the Puma STS! Was able to spend some time in the new STS at the dealer meeting very very impressive boat. I hopefully will be getting my boat next month.

[@JohnCrews]

👊🏼

[@runngunn]

Hey John really like the review of this boat and what a nice layout it has! You are like me in that I do my own rigging also. Been following Bass Cat for a while but never really found a model that suited my taste/ style. I think Bass Cat has finally produced a model that will meet my needs and likes in a bass boat! Looking forward to your continued review of how this project evolves. Good luck this season on tour!

[@JohnCrews]

Sounds good. Thanks!

[@johnnorris7751]

Pretty boat love the color combos

[@keithtrimarki9412]

Gorgeous boat! That color scheme is hot! Definitely a bucket list boat, maybe when my 5 girls are done with college, lol! Best of luck with it and best of luck out there this year!

[@bcallisjr]

Sweet looking ride my brother. Can't wait to see when you get it all done!! 👊👊

[@jeremiahnewton8372]

Can’t wait to see it fully loaded

Nice ride John

Thanks

He'll ya more j crew boat rigging vids ,congrats on the new rig,surprised you didn't get the foam floors instead of carpet goodluck

[@JohnCrews]

I like carpet on the decks. Softer, quieter, etc

[@mburke1211]

Nice boat! Looking forward to seeing it fully rigged.

Good job buddy

[@json2763]

Yeah, that TSS bracket for the HB transducer on the jackplate didnt quit look "level" to me.....sweet looking colors on the boat.....👍👍

[@JohnCrews]

Oh yes, I’ll adjust it

[@timarmstrong8038]

Looking forward to your thoughts on this boat. Seriously looking at the Puma STS or the Lynx.

[@jamiegarth3146]

I would be sceptical with the lynx because of the weight sensitive bow?

[@timarmstrong8038]

@@jamiegarth3146 please explain.

[@jamiegarth3146]

@@timarmstrong8038 There’s been a lot of feedback from owners saying they don’t get good bow lift when their tackle is in the boat. The boat runs around 66 mph when a decent amount of tackle is in the bow of the boat because it cannot get enough life and the deeper V of the hull has too much bite in the water. I’ve never driven one myself but I’ve heard from a ton of people both in person and online about this issue. It can be avoided by putting most tackle in the back but sometimes that’s a pain

[@timarmstrong8038]

Thank you for heads up. I’ll check it out a little further.

[@steveparker7763]

Awesome new ride! (Mr. Man Crush....lol....it's a joke from TN.... he knows....lol)

[@carsonisfishing5757]

I’m ready to see the rigging videos

[@JohnCrews]

Plotting and planned today

[@FishingWithDamon]

Love this bass fishing video I learned quite a bit thanks for taking your time and making this awesome content I know it isn’t easy!

[@dong8307]

Nice!!

[@tombenz8684]

Hey as a dreamer of owning a boat like this. I have to ask why the puma over the eyra? I thought I remember watching a video where you seemed to like the eyra better than the lynx. You've owned all 3 models. Would be helpful if you did a pros and cons of all 3. You probably don't know much on this puma but you probably can anticipate issues about it. Great video and congrats on owning a dream rig. Thanks!

[@JohnCrews]

Once I get in the STS and understand it, I’ll do a full comparison video 👍🏼

[@adamgonzales9641]

im a skeeter yamaha fan myself but the under seat storage is the best thing im missing in my boat. the more you fish the more you need room for odds and ends... nice boat Mr Crews good luck this upcoming year

[@JohnCrews]

Yes. Thanks!

[@georgeadcock2347]

Beautiful boat. Love the Seadek. Doesn't it void the warranty on the Mercury Outboard if you use Lithium as a starter battery??

[@JohnCrews]

Not for Lithium Pros. They work with Mercury but many other brands do void it

[@mikethetoolman8776]

@@JohnCrews didn't mercury just buy a lithium battery company recently??

[@ewwee2k]

Thank you for the video! Can you explain Why you are you running Lowrance Ghost trolling motor but running Humminbird Electronics and the benefits of that choice?

[@JohnCrews]

Will do explain in video soon. Thanks!

[@rowdybroomstick1216]

I'm curious what is the monthly payment is plus insurance for you for the year up to the point of selling the boat.

[@isurfinsb]

Nice boat bruh! Why would anybody dislike this video? Just a dude all happy showing us his boat. Just don't get it.

Russel Marine light ever wears out or becomes damaged through the redundant use of the Power Pole?

[@JohnCrews]

Mine held up great last year

[@CODnumber2]

Have you ever used the hot foot trim switch from th marine??

[@JohnCrews]

No. Haven’t seen one in years

[@bucknuts8824]

I understand why you have to wrap them, but damn I hate to hide those pretty colors.

[@JohnCrews]

No doubt 👊🏼

[@douglasspickler4925]

Nice looking ride. I just watched the million dollar BPS tournament and the teams that were on camera were using forward sonor catching suspended bass. They had one bow unit and won a million. Just saying 😎

[@JohnCrews]

But I wasn’t allowed to fish that tournament 😎

[@douglasspickler4925]

@@JohnCrews that's because you're Elite. I was just tugging your line about the "amateur anglers " using one unit vs. three. 😎

I hate that they got rid of the day box on the puma

I’ll have to figure out how to make my own

[@jasonmausteller2488]

What made you change your battery set up?

[@JohnCrews]

Batteries have been the same but Lithium Pros just came out with that jumbo 12v so now I only need the 2 with my Power Pole Charge

I wish the P2 was a wide body 19 footer with like a 96 in beam. I would've bought one, but went with phoenix 819 instead 😑

[@JohnCrews]

The Pantera Classic is basically what you are asking for

[@bucknuts8824]

@@JohnCrews yea, looked hard at it, but not a fan of the white top cap, the livewell system is lacking compared to the p2, and you lose the 43 gallon fuel tank. Oh well 🤷‍♂️

[@russellabernathy3241]

Bass cats are ugly bass boats . Ranger all the way

[@JohnCrews]

This made me laugh. Thanks.

[@russellabernathy3241]

I sold Bass Cat boats for several years and sold Ranger for about 25 years . Had Bass Cats up to 2020 . There is no comparison between Bass Cat and Rangers fit and finish even though Ranger isn’t what it once was . The year I committed to being a Bass Cat dealer I went to the first dealer meeting after seeing under the lids the pinstripes were awful I got my employees and left the dealer meeting the first day and my Bass Cat rep called me on the way home and said where you at I said I’m not happy with what I saw he then ask me to rethink not wanting to be a dealership for them and I became a dealer against my better judgment. We had to send back a couple the first year because of poor workmanship. I just bought a new Ranger this summer and they look way better. So you can laugh if you want cause I realize they take care of you for free rides . But I’m afraid the laugh is on you .
