cbrown.zenfolio.com/p978628935Yea, the console from the front looks different, probably will look a lot more normal once they install a windshield. You realize how big it is after seeing the pic of it sitting side by side with the Puma. More storage than needed. The passenger rod box is nice, gets all their rods out of the way. The trolling motor storage behind the seats is unique, good for Pros that need to carry a spare. The rear light is retractable, goes down into the hull. Rated for a 300 Ran 72-75 in the first test runs with the Merc 250.

Great looking boat and has alot of extras but wondering how well it will due in this market plus the fact that they have 2 other 80 mph boats... Also someone on BBC mentioned that this is a boat is not a skinny water ride.... i wonder how true that may be. in that aspect it could be another thing to hold it back from its true sales potental.....
Also isn't there a 250HP limit for alot of the big trails.... ? I am sure BCB did not design a new boat without extensive research but just a couple question marks in my mind on how it will do.

They did not build this for the average bass fisherman.
They know it is not going to sell a lot of units, it was built to fit a small niche market. Guys that can afford the price tag that want a big , comfortable ride, but still want the option to " go fast ."
More than likely it will be older guys buying, ones who can afford it and are probably buying the last boat they will need.
It is almost 22 feet long and will run 70 + when tx loaded with a 250 on it. Hull weight is in the 2200 lb range. It is a big boat and will not go into skinyt water like a Puma or Cougar will, but should get into 2 - 2.5 feet easy.
