@TightlineTV My pleasure Brother. Its easy to support genuine content creators who shares the same passion!!

So good to see the boat finally out. I’ve watched all of the videos. I bought a 1989 Pantera II late last summer that had been in storage for 21 years. I have it running well and everything is original. If there is ever anything that you want to know about how the original set up looks just let me know. Good luck! Keep enjoying

It is awesome to see the BassCat on the water!!!! Keep up the great work, Team BassCat since day 1!!!

Been waiting for this one since last vid let’s go!!

Keep up the fight, love the struggle bus videos. Still think you would be a great shop teacher. Great passion and presentation skills.

Keep the faith and I look forward to your continued rebuild and tournament coverage

It’s great to see a successful conclusion to a long term project that seemed impossible a year ago. Congratulations on your perseverance. Way to go.

🤣 gotta break it in first. It was completely re-sleeved. Want to make sure she’s lubed up before I rip away

So strange to see a bass boat without 5 or 6 electronics mounted everywhere!!!!! You are definitely going old school.

I’m jealous I love those fixer upper’s I love little projects like that

Caleb better have caught a fish after breaking that rod. lol. Just kidding all jokes.

tough day bro! you'll get it ironed out though i have faith! hope you are doin well!

Tournaments in older boats can be brutal. I had a short arc in my aluminum hull on Toledo and not only lost all lights, it also took out my trolling motor power wire. It can all be fixed, it's part of the fun in fishing tournaments.

Baby steps, looks good and is coming together....

we need to get Garmin on board to get you some stuff man it would be great!! Great video man been watching for a while.

Finally!!

Thinking on your shifter cable . Thinking there is a tab on the underside part that you were turning that your cable hooks into.

What tournament on misquito lake

You should get blinker trim for your Jack plate and tri, so that you have it at the steering wheel. That way you can adjust it easily while driving/

I had the same color 1991 pantera 2. It was a fantastic boat.

Central Ohio here.. fish on buddy

I'm here in ohio too, I found your old motor from the boat on Market place. I have been thinking about buying it. You're not too far from where I'm at. Hope to see you at a tournament sometime.

Definitely get your gauges installed asap

Get yourself blinker style switches for your jackplate and motor tilt/trim.. easy to install, and you can keep two hands on the wheel at all times..

What Nancy drives with both hands on the wheel?

Don’t sweat it to bad. I have a newer boat and almost always have something go wrong, break, or need repair. It is all part of it. Instead of asking if I caught fish when I get home my wife just ask how much it cost this time. I do like your videos. Thank you.

Love your content and your passion for this sport. I think financing a boat for a couple hundred a month doesn't sound too bad lol.

It’s just an old oem mercury

Owning one of them motors i can tell you its idling a little high should idle around 800 ir sounds like 1100 rpms

As far as the hindges go for the live well lids. Is it possible to mount or screw the back part of the hindge to the top part of the deck. So that the hindge is in a 45deg angle when closed. Instead of folding down to zero deg. If that makes sense. Mount the screws under the Seadeck. To add where I am coming from is that I know what it is like taking a boat that has been sitting and then making it into a fishing machine. Took a 1987 Laser bass boat 16ft 70hp Merc 2 years ago starting in June and hitting the water foe the first time in mid August of last year. So a little over a year to get it on the water. So far have been towed back to the dock 2 times. 1 time last year. Don't want to say what happened, other than it was my fault and I really didn't need the tow but it happened anyways. And the second time was just a little over a week ago and the ignition switch broke. I could get the motor to turn over but it was like the kill switch was on. Could not get it to fire. I am sure there is something in that switch that prevented me from getting it started.

Something I would add as soon as possible is a temperature guage for the motor. Glad to see the Basscat finally moving.

Turn the cap over it common problem with the xr6 motors

Going fishing at least twice before fishing another tournament. Keep 5. Cull. Make sure everything works. It’s just embarrassing. I did the same. First boat 1982 ranger. 6 years ago. I was 23. Showed up to boat ramp for a local river tournament and my throttle cables were backwards. It’s like I’m watching myself all over again with this series. Take your time. Fix everything, replace it. Rigging gets you by. But doing it right lasts. Won a couple in her. Still have her. But run a newer boat now. And please find a heat gun to take off the old numbers lol just trying to give advice from experience. Be proud tho. That feeling getting on plane never gets old.

Hey man, I have an XR6 and would be happy to help you figure out your shift situation. Definitely looks like your cable is too short. Use the barrel screw to make it longer. How can I send you photos of proper assembly? Wanna send me your email address?

I'm not being a smart ass, I'm going to get some hate. Ditch that Merc, spend the money and get a Yamaha, Suzuki or even hell, a Honda. I've been in the industry a long time and mercs are always troublesome. I see 15 mercs for every Yamaha/Suzuki. When they're running, they're awesome, but reliability is not their strong suit. Tough loss for yah man, hopefully you learned something.
