Can I have the old one please lol
Props to this guy for going pro and proving himself. I'm aa huge fan now.
Great to see you in a BassCat, they are an amazing boat backed by an even more amazing company. Rick is top notch as are the fine folks at the company! You’ll love the SHO, just make sure you break it in correctly. They are great motors!
Ben, Awesome to see how hard you've worked for what you are doing. It's great to see Ron grabbing ahold of you and joining the Basscat Family. It's an unbelievable hard journey. I've done it and glad you are in the position with you're family. Your family is the Rock that holds it all together. God Bless Brother Tad
Happy to see you in a Bass Cat. They are incredible boats made by incredible people. When you started describing what you wanted in a boat, I was thinking Bass Cat the whole time. Glad you followed through!
Wow, brudda! Good for you! Is the reality of any of this starting to sink in yet (like being in the elite series, getting offers from sponsors, the extent of the Hangover sales, etc)? You are a real inspiration to the average Joe, and proof that anyone can make it big if you bust your ass to pieces. Congratulations again, 1000x over and thank you for doing what you do. I'll be watching with everyone else while you whoop some ass in the year(s) ahead, whether that means blue trophies or just big personal victories. You'll be winning one way or another.
Welcome to the basscat family. You will love that Puma STS. I have the same boat and she will run rough water. Best of luck this year.
Congratulations on the new boat!! LFG Ben, Slaw, and Mfers 💥
Congratulations Ben you earned it man I can’t wait for you to kick ass in the elites
Awesome to see you went with a Bass Cat! Rick Pierce is an amazing man to work with, a true inspiration and a great role model! Everyone at Bass Cat does an amazing job making these boats what they are! Welcome to the family bro, you’re going to LOVE it!
Welcome to the Bass Cat team!! The reflex flooring is bad to the bone. You’ll love that ride. Fast and a GREAT ride! 👏🏼
Welcome to the cat family! The best boat out there and they fish amazingly you will not regret running a cat.
MAN OH MAN!!! It’s so nice bro.!!! Congrats on the new rig!!! Definitely, a dream for most of us!!! It looks so sleek and badass!!!! Can’t wait to see how many tourneys you win in it!!!
Since I started bass fishing in the early 90's, Bass Cats have always been my dream boat! Im a Merc guy but my tournament partner has a SHO on his Ranger and its a bad ass motor! Not to mention you can have the ECU remapped and get a bunch more HP's... congratulations you bettttt!
Bro., this boat is top notch, I’m sure you’re in heaven. Bass Vat is an unbelievable boat maker! Plus, like you said, it’s hand made each one! The detail and time they have put in is ridiculous!!!!!
Bro’s about to win a Classic in this boat!! What yall think?

I was guessing a falcon or a basscat. Great boat!! Can’t wait to see how it performs and hope you get some Dubs fishing in the new boat in the elites!!!
Put a Y or T in place of the tank switch and draw from both tanks. It has been done before on Bass Cats
Awesome boat Ben! Great pick. Looking forward to seeing you compete against the elites!
Hell yay take it too the max!!! Can’t wait to see the fish you put in that boat!!! Good luck and hope to see you at Toledo!!!!
Sweet! I’m so glad to see you’re with Bass Cat. I love my Bass Cat P4. I’ve fished out a Puma on a couple of occasions and they ride and nice. I got mine through Bowden Marine in Houston. They do a great job. Good luck this season.
Welcome to the bass cat family ! Fyi those bilge lids are on a slip hinge making them removable for easier access
Nice boat. I’ve never watched any bass anything. I found your page looking for livescope videos. Now I watch about 5 bass fishing channels lol. I’m looking forward to watching you fish in the Elite Series. 2 months ago I didn’t even know what the elite series was.
Bass cat does fit you perfect Ben looking forward to seeing you in it for the classic.
Badass boat my friend, I used to run one myself and I think you are going to love it so much, congrats!!!
Very excited for you my friend!! Congratulations on your success!! Pulling for you!!
Great looking boat! Only thing I’m not a fan of is how far the trolling foot pedal is. Totally fine for offshore but when I’m skipping and pitching I like to be as far up as possible. That way I’m not smacking everything installed up front
Ben is so cool, he's going to put forward facing sonar on the stern. NO LOOKING BACK!!!.
Sweet! 402 in the Cathouse. I'm glad Rick picked you up, and Will Bowden is the best marine mech in Harris county.
Think you will like the new Cat. I'm running my second one and absolutely love them. Good luck with it and this year!
I was able to order 2 in fast sink. I think that’s the best option even for shallow water. I can see the Med/slow sink being an action issue reeling it in. Just for my personal preference in south Florida. I know I’m going to land a giant peacock bass on em
Way to go my friend outstanding choice on the boat you couldn't have done better if you tried I can't wait to see the finished product😅
Freaking knew it! Hell yeah! I've always wanted a cat man glad to see you fishing outta one looking forward to watching you fish out of one
Hell yeah Ben!!! That’s one bad ass unit! Stoked to see you get to rippin in the new rig🔥👌🏼
So very cool. I work for the company that makes the plastic parts for Minkota and your trolling motor. I was looking and see you have an Ultrex and I recognize a lot of the parts. Good luck in the upcoming season and look forward to seeing this boat in action. Cheers from Wisconsin
Sweet boat, interesting storage layout compared to other's i've seen for sure. Can't wait to see it fully rigged!
I ended up buying a Phoenix a couple years ago but when I was looking these guys were definitely on the short list of boats I was considering. I was on Toledo Bend last year fishing with a buddy who bought a new Bass Cat and we ran across the lake in some extremely nasty waves and was impressed at how well it took it. But this day and age most of your major manufacturers boats are phenomenal and it basically comes down to layout of your compartments in my opinion.
Ven, glad you are getting it done on time! Nice boat and touches!
Bro drank all the basscat Kool aid. I prefer my skeeter fxr layout and storage. Like you said, they're all great boats now. Everyone has stepped up their game. Love the Yamaha!
Bad ass!! Thanks for the detailed tour of boat!
Nailed it! My wife wasn't impressed at all when I guessed the boat you picked. 😂🎉 I jumped off the couch with excitement from my pick haha.
Love it! Been waiting for this reveal ever since my better half ran into you at our local HEB and you told her diff boat this year!! Can't wait to see how Mealey Marine tricks this sucker out!
Sweet rig Ben. Can't wait for the Elites to start. Gonna try to make it to the Classic. Would love to support you at that event.
Awesome video guys!!! The new boat is so Badass! See y'all next time.
Sweet ride man! I am a big fan of yours. I am an even bigger fan now. Please let me know how that STS system performs truthfully. You always tell it like it is. I have a 99p111 and am looking to upgrade into another newer Basscat. Not enough budget for a new one but one will be coming home soon. Good luck this year on the best tour out there. I expect at least 1 win from you this year.
Nice good luck with your fishing. Hope this year we get to meet you!
The battery tray in the Basscat is a bullet prof item. I have a 2006 Cougar no problems. The key is to put an extra jam nut under the flange and keep the single nut from loosening. Now, if your new batteries will not fit, that would be great to share on your rigging video.
Boat looks great! Good luck on the new season!!
Great video really enjoyed working with you on this looking forward to delivering it
Looking forward to seeing you kick some ass this year!👍
Congrats and welcome to the family
What a sick boat 🔥 congrats man. Hoping there is a rigging video! Also can’t wait to see it in the water 🤩
That’s awesome! I have the same boat. You will love it!!! Welcome to the BassCat family.
Nice bro ! Congratulations!! Almost thought you were rolling out an IKON lol
I have one of the very first Pumas that came out in 04. Had problems with the hall they let me use it for a tournament season came out to Vegas picked it up and brought me a new one a few months later. I also agree with you on Mercury in my opinion they suck had a major problem with their motor took months to get it fixed ended up costing me $13,000. Bass Cat is a great family-owned and operated business so happy you're there with them. Also happy to see you with the Yamaha. Can't wait to follow you this season man you're going to do well ,, good luck to you brother.
Basscats are sick. I run a Jag on Lake Erie and couldn't be happier with the build quality and how it handles the water. Enjoy, you'll love it up north
Love the new boat!!! My bet was you were going to get a Falcon, but I was wrong. LOL They all are good boats and like you said, they better be for what the prices are!
That boat is definitely mandatory. Good good luck in the Elite🎣💪👍
Nice! Went to go get some of those Hangovers the other day, man y’all sold out quickly😂 can’t wait to try one out!
Congrats on the new sweet boat! Going to give these MF’r rods that showed up today with these hangovers a ride. Keep up the great videos.
Congrats Ben, I got it right basscat, they do run fast,I've got a 21' norris craft with 250xs don't get passed much but the basscat gives me a run,,catch'um up Ben..
I'm happy as hell for you. I like to see guys succeed.
Randy just subbed to the channel‼️When you said no electronics 😆 atta boy no scoping got damnit. Can't wait to see it all together hope you win it all bro. Congrats on the new boat
Welcome to the BassCat family 🎉🎉 Best people in the industry! Can’t wait to see you drive it for the first time.
Great looking Cat. I have a 2023 Cougar in the same black with colored flakes. Congrats.
Hey brother, so glad that you have found about that you love and I’m so glad that you got this because you deserve it a lot all the hard work that you put in the fishing tutorials that you teach us every day is amazing and you deserve every bit of thisso proud of you brother you have came along way since I first started watching you
Beautiful boat Ben, you'll be happy with that Yamaha, they're the only outboards we trust when running 30+ miles out into the ocean. Bass cats are phenomenal boats, they're a top tier company when it comes to quality and customer service, right up there with Ballistic and Gator Trax. I'm happy for you bro, watching you evolve over the years has been awesome. BTW, it's cool you're giving Mealy a shout out and some love, they do great work and would love to see their YT channel grow. Keep up the grind.

@@victorrhone6785 thats a good motor then, not all Mercs are trash, not by any means. But, from a professional stand point, I've seen more issues with them than anything else over the years. When you get a good one, they're awesome though, maybe you got lucky.
Love the boat. Can’t wait to see it rigged and you fishing and kicking ass on the trail
You won’t be disappointed! Great boat and great customer service, Rick is an awesome guy.
I like how you four boards are on your boat no swearing sit down can't wait to see all the rest of the detail that you were going to put
Sick boat man can’t wait to see how you set it up and use all the features
Congrats 🤙
Heck ya ole bass cat gunna out run em for sho like the colors can’t wait to see ya shake up the elite series 2024 is ur year CMON
you're gonna love the Yamahammer! slick boat dude!
You’re so lucky and blessed to have a boat like this!!! Can’t wait to see it fully rigged and tourney ready! Either way, you’re going to smash em!!!!
I got to go out on a co workers 21 ft bass cat once on Kerr lake. that baby did 80 mph and thats the only speed he knew. my cheeks were flapping in the wind and tears out my eyes in july. lol. bass cats are awesome in my book. love your color scheme on it. Nice boat Ben, hope that yamaha treats you good. my dad had a 25 hp yamaha. thing was bullet proof.
Nice rig, you will like BC, great ride, and nice to fish out of, Good luck, and tight lines!
Thanks Ben for keeping it doing!!
@MilikenFishing FYI... you mentioned the access of the rear battery compartment and how its easily accessed from the rear... the whole lids remove for access from inside the boat
Congratulations! Hard work pays off
Good looking ride man! Good luck this year!
Killer rookie class looking forward to how you stand out
17:00 My dad has a 1985 procraft that we fish tournaments out of every month. Try 25 gallons! lol. Always checking the tank cus the gas gauge is sketchy
Love the move to Basscat! Awesome company and awesome boats!
Ben sharp looking boat. Have a great year.
You definitely should have gotten a smoke machine lol. Can't wait for my hangovers to get here even though I won't be able to use them anytime soon. Congratulations on all the success brother and good luck on the Elite series!
Do you think there will be any handling issues with the dual tanks? If one tank is empty (or near empty) and the other is full, that's going to be a 240-lb weight differential all on one side of the boat. I guess they're below the waterline, so it wont be an issue most of the time, but up on plane, I wonder if there will be a noticeable change.
From a 2005 Basscat purchaser, it's about time! You should love it. Imagine the Un-subs you'd get if you bought a Nitro.... Best of luck this year! ❤
Sweet ride!🤘🔥
Nice rig man. Congrats! Cant wait to see it after Mike Mealey pimps the electronics.
New boat is sharp. Good luck this year MFer
Great looking boat Good luck next season
Hell yeah! I’m pumped that your rockin the the new Puma sts..
Cannot wait for the new season, new boat, set to go. envy is an understatement.
I’m glad to see you went with basscat. I knew it when I saw the tongue of the trailer❤ W boat
U definitely got the right motor on the back of that beautiful beast. I absolutely love my Yamaha SHO.
Really nice boat, Ben! Coming together quick😅
Gotta love the move to a SHO! I can’t even explain the superiority over the other options.
Damn sweet pump my doode.. couldn't have seen the ole bass cat being your next boat.
Wouldn't you want the gas tanks to evenly expel gas versus having uneven weight on back of boat? Or do you switch tanks back and forth as you go to keep weight even?
@bayardlohmiller9785
6 ай бұрын
I run a Skeeter with 2 tanks and the switch has left and right or if left in center it draws evenly, not perfectly even which I'm sure due to uneven weight in the boat. It's cool because if you're fishing alone you can put more gas in the port tank to even out the ride or if your co angler is a big fella put a little more in the starboard tank, a gallon weighs a little over 8 pounds roughly.
Bad azzzzzz! Bring it. Congrats on the new ride! Big Fan, How can I add your jersey to my collection boss?
