Can't wait to see you Install brother. Last year's Install was Awesome.

awesome choice!!! having a BIG garage really helps!

Good looking boat John

BCB & Kamado Joe, you’re on point sir!

Bro you took my paint scheme!😂Good looking boat Bud!

Actually like the layout of the Caracal! Can’t wait to see that big 22” mounted up on it. 👍

Looks awesome. I have a 22 caracal and love it. I need to check out this new caracal. Who knows may need to upgrade at some point

Great boat!

Sharp looking boat

Love the caracal... keep us updated on your thoughts on it.

Nice!!

Thing is sick 🔥

Awesome looking! Just got to get use to it. Can't wait to see it once you get it rigged up! 22" for live/FFS?

I love my 21 PII but now I want that!

Yes you would 🙌🏼

Also the rearmost compartment doors are removable.

Better get going. It's gonna be game on before you know it!

Awesome boat. Surprised you didn’t go back with the Puma but like all BassCat boats it’s great.

Gotta show off the new model

John, I am super interested to know about the console bar. My 2024 puma came with the balzout mounts. They changed the console and now with the mounts they are angled up significantly.

Sick color to bad you have to wrap it. Why not another puma

4:28 the boat is how wide?

Nice rig good choice to avoid slam latches!

Your thoughts on the hybrid 203?

You like the box latches on the Puma better?

Great walkthrough. Basscat is not perfect, but pretty darn good quality compared to the rest.

Curious about any draft difference between the Puma STS and the Caracal STS?

Hello! Do you plan to transfer any equipment from the Puma Sts to your new Caracal Sts?

Can 8' rods fit in the lockers?

Shorty with 250 junk in the trunk. She should be a runner for sure. Curious to see how you like it over the Puma. Good luck and best wishes on your 2024 season John!

What is the one thing would you like to see Bass Cat change on the model you have or just with all their model boats? Good luck this season.

Curious to know why you wouldn't have the factory do all the installs of electronics and batteries during the build process? BTW...nice motor toter, elaborate design.

Va brother.

Can you still get the slam latches in the 2024 caracal

Why the bar when it already has the two balzout mounts?

PMantle, the new bar lowers the graphs below the level that NMMA requires for sight angles.

So your the reason the Caracal is so unaffordable. Use to be affordable because no one wanted a smaller boat. This is my favorite Bass Cat

@JohnCrews come on John it's a joke, their sponsoring you and the Caracal has in 3 yrs went way up in price. Just a little joke. No does it make sense endorsements usually mean higher prices to the end user. By the way where is my contract between me and your company so I can afford to bass fish again. But yeah, the message does get lost texting, typing vs face to face...

Cool boat bro , good luck though now that basscat priced pretty much 90% of their existing customer base out . Wasn’t the smartest move but hey who am I 🤷‍♂️.
