Below is a post from Rick Pierce, President at Bass Cat boats. I copied this from BassCat's website.

Could there be new boats at the Dealer Meeting?

"tick... tock..

Ok folks, we have a total of 18 boats that will be on the water next week for the dealer meeting and 20 with static displays. The model mix is large and obviously will entail both Yar-Craft and Bass Cat models. Information is not being released to dealers until Tuesday morning at the Bass Cat and general business meeting.

The Yar-Craft meeting starts on Monday. We have a lot of promotional staff and friends coming in to assist on the meeting and we hope we have a great event.

We have some very interesting approaches at this meeting and we have spent some time revamping some areas that were not really in need yet, though we wanted the quality to bump up. We fully intend to bump fiberglass quality and more in 2013 as we have approved a new gun rovong from Owens Corning this week and we are moving fast in other areas as things are developing again in the reprieve of this recession.

We have some very innovative concepts going forwards and we hope to really bump the bar and we think you will be pleased with where we are going in 2013. The dealerships will have the details on Tuesday.

Thanks and look for another memo to be forthcoming either just before or after the dealer meeting.

Rick"

Today is the the day we should get more info from the dealer meeting. One of the interesting topics has been the traditional larger poly flake vs smaller poly flake used on other boats. Let's hope we get the option for both. For me I prefer the bigger sparkle that BassCat has always used. I think the smaller flake will more offer trim stripe options. I have to see it to appreciate it.

I agree with your opinions on the larger flake Tom. I would have thought we would have heard something from the dealer meeting by now. Nothing has leaked out that I have seen.

Here it is. Not a fan of the 1970s windshield but it is a fish n ski.

Dang, that what I get for not reading all the posts before start a new topic.

Bama96, thanks of the heads up.

Looks like the Puma gets a major face lift. Front deck is now is 3-4 inches wider without compromise to WOT performance.

For the Ultimate Bass experience click on the pic for optimum viewing. Wow!!!

Hmm... Bigger front deck.... That color scheme is incredible!!!

Brech Marine in Selma, AL should have that Puma as early as next week right? Gotta go see that one.

Already there.

So the new redesigned Puma with larger front deck is already at Brech Marine? Gotta make a trip down there to see it up close and personal. However, I'm leaving the check book home.

The removable port side console has me extremely interested in knowing if it can be retrofit to exsiting models

Flyswatter · « **Reply #12 on:** August 10, 2012, 09:36:11 PM »

Now that is real cool and I'd be interested in a retro fit too. Good question.
