Bass Cat & Yar-Craft President Rick Pierce on Rub Rails, the Fastest Bass Cat and a Few Other Things
Спорт
Rick Pierce President of Bass Cat and Yar-Craft Boats talks rub rails, connecting cap to hull, types of fiberglass, which is the fastest Bass Cat, and cool electronics yet to come. This is the last of the 5 videos from my interview with Rick, next week we start our Factory Tour, and you see my reaction to the first time I saw my new Lynx.

Awesome video Ken . I could listen to Rick Pierce all day the man has so much knowledge.
Man, what a great series KEN!!! You did a wonderful job putting it all together including your visits with RICK PIERCE!! Thank you so much!!!
Another good job Ken, Rick is proud of his boats and everyone knows why, they are that good.
If you were ever able to get Darris Allison to do an interview like that, you’d know why Allison is unbeatable. Full aluminum alloy transom and 100% hand laid, not one chopper gun in house.

Understoood it's a really well built boat, but it's a specialty boat.
Wow! How many builders would sit there that long explaining building processes and boat evolution? Only one I can think of. Rick Pierce builds great boats because he cares about boats and his boat owners! Many congrats on your purchase Mr Ken Smith! You made a great decision by buying Bass Cat! Can't wait to see the next video!
Excellent video. thank you amazing information.
Great video Ken!!!! Excited for the next video.
Man o man!!! I wanted that video to keep goin!! Common Ken don’t make us wait a whole week! That tour of the factory is gonna be awesome. Great job Ken, you’ve done a great great job with this whole series, truly enjoyed it!!! Keep it up brotha!!
I’m heading out on vacation tomorrow for a weak but plan on stopping by the factory at some point next week
This whole series has been excellent!

Enjoyed this video Ken........ Love listening to Rick Pierce.... he has a no-nonesense way of explaining his point..... I can tell he 101% believes in his product..... Note: I wonder if he has any concerns about using "other than Owens-Corning" fiberglass... or if there will be any loss of quality..... Thanks for all that you do and share for your subscribers...

See reply to Allison Murphy above...
I hear a true engineer. This man knows his product and knows the nuances. I believe he could build almost anything. This owner knows how his product. The passion for cost vs value and what the end result means for the consumer. I somehow don't have the same confidence in Johnny if you catch my drift.

Check out the rub rail on a 100 degree day the will have 2ft of slack bulging out. Keep a rubber mallet handy. Have seen this on my Eyra and on a Jaguar.

I'm not a dealer but was invited to drive any of the models, I was originally told it would be on a weekend July 24-25, but now I'm being told it's just one day and that day is July 21. My question would be to what degree will they let you make changes on a boat for instance if I want all the bell's and whistles that a premium boat has on the livewells added to a classic, two aerators pump's, pump in and pump out , built in timers, upgraded touch pad, 28 ounce carpet, front padded deck, radio?

Certain things you can add and some you can’t I have a classic and what little I did add makes the cost go up quick
I would really like to see more on their base model the Pantera Classic. I have been looking for the best budget friendly bass boat that’s still a great boat but every one always talks about the premium boats that are just out of reach for the average guy.

Premium lineup isn't for many of non pros. I'm a weekend guy on smaller bodies of water. The p2 or classic is more practical in my case. BCB makes quality regardless ones budget.
Good video sir, since your getting into the construction of the boats can you ask about upper rail stress cracks, years ago I have had a new boat get them, had them fixed only to return, is it normal? can it be prevented? seems a lot of boats get them...thanks in advance

So should a guy wait to buy a new boat due to the lack of quality glass available

Allison Murphy Pope, we are back to 100% OC Glass now, after the TX deep freeze, and the answer is no. Many other bass boat builders use Jushi glass, we don’t for reasons and it’s cheaper to buy. We only used CTG and Jushi where it was non critical, flooring, storage boxes and parts that other builders often use plastic. We also got lucky and learned of the coming shortage by chance early fall. We stockpiled enough glass before the freeze. We bought 30,000 pounds on import glass at very high prices. We are now redistributing (selling) 15,000 of that back out to companies that are still under shortages, and trying to increase their production.
