Took what seemed like forever since ordering. Now the perfect prop search begins because this one came with a 24 Fury.

Congrats ! Nice rig. If that Merc has the 1.75 gearcase that 24 might be pretty close on it.

Basscat guys will tell you what prop to run, they are very much into getting the most out of their boats.

It does, and since I run a really light load, it may work. The 4 strokes are propping out below the 2s due to lower slip. Besides, I have always preferred a 4 blade. There's a long thread on the owner's board and guys are getting great results from a Trophy Plus 23P which surprises me because that was meh on my Margay. Really want a Bravo 1 FS.

Some people are just jeally. Bass cats get top dollar on the second hand market even when there isn't a shortage, even if it cost more upfront, total cost of ownership might be cheaper than a boat brand that TANKS in value during normal times.

Not my cup of tea boat wise, but a fine boat for its purpose.

I got a decent amount more for the Margay than I paid.

I’ll bet you get 40 knots out of that
Thing when it’s trimmed up. And empty.




















Nice looking boat. Be safe when you’re crushing Toledo Bend.

Great looking boat. Congrats. Explain the choice of a 30yr note. Just curious because I just heard of another guy about to do that on a Phoenix.

I remember being a kid and hearing a conversation about a guy financing a boat for 8 years and everybody shaking their heads and ridiculing the guy. Fast forward a couple of decades, and I had a conversation with a 25 year old guy who financed his bass boat for 20 years and everybody (all young as well) saying "man you did the right thing gotta get what you want." Happened standing in a plant unit talking to operators of course.

How the world changes in such a short time.

I totally made that up.

I honestly didn't know it could be done, but it does explain a few things.
