83 miles per hour with a 400 doesn't seem as fast as I would have expected. That is fast but I expected more.

Well, if you can't catch any fish, at least you can outrun them.

WOW !!! Awesome boat, totally enjoyed the video !!

Great work. Thanks. Wish every manufacturer would do a vid like this. Others boring

Great looking and running Cats. Very nice video that has actual real use information about the performance. Looks sweet running. I know what a nice running bass boat looks like, I have a bullet.

What is the slowest the boat can ride while staying on plane?? I love the boat, can an air ride seat be put in?

nice ride !.....my 191 Champion DCB,200 Merc EFI...77 mph...thats certified

Talking about stability, how are the Bass Cat’s stability with bigger guy’s? Im 6’-6” 375 LBS and wonder how the ride would be with me only in the boat, would the boats lean or sag much to the driver’s side? Or how would the stability be with me in the front casting deck, standing on the sides casting?

Very nice boats but 83mph for a 400hp motor seems weak.

Great video - Thanks guys.

83 mph, let off the throttle... 5 minutes later... 68mph. lol, Awesome video! That 400 is a face peeler.

I was testing one with the 450 last spring and at about 25 hours it really loosened up and was able to pull 92.9mph before turning her back in. Not Bullet fast, but it is also a much bigger, more comfortable boat too.

Bad ass! Great video

Holy moly, thats one hell of a boat, I have a 80's17 foot alumacraft with a 402 merc, tops at about 24 with 4 people and fishing gear, it is a good first boat though.

Excellent video!

Very good video my friend. Regretting my buddy convinced me to get a Charger, when I already had my Bass Cat picked out.

I had my my old cougar ftd with the 250 XB RUNNING AT 83.14 MPH ON THE GPS WITH FULL GEAR AND LIVE WELLS FULL. NO EXAGGERATION

Egggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggslent !! Thanx for sharing. I Love Love Love this boat. Hope to purchase one this year.

I Like My 14 foot flatbottom with my 15 evinrude it runs 25 and takes rough water good so I am happy with it 😁

Beautiful boats. Not in the Allison or Bullet category but very nice. Rick and Ron ( before he passed) great guys. Quality builds.

That's just mental, only 18 inches of keel in the water, the rest is all on prop. So much power.

What prop on the 400?

My alli goes 96 with 10 foot poles/force/ two livescopes and I’m just learning how to drive it.

Good choice of music...😊 Mercury has come out with a 600 HP V12 outboard. I wonder how long it will be before Basscat puts one of them on a boat.

At that speed i bet its hard for the graphs to view the bass that your passing?

Dream boat🥵

BCs are awesome boats. Allison, if you really want to go fast comfortably, even in rough water.

Very nice boats and running good, i thought there would be a bit bigger difference between them. One thing i have to ask and it is not regarding you guys specifically. When you are talking boat speeds (mph) is that car mph or is it "knots" (i meen nautical miles per hour) like we do in the rest of the world when one talks about boat speed and i guess air speed. This is something i always wondering when i´m looking at all these boat movie clips, it´s just so i know, so i can recalculate to nm/h or knots which is the only measurement we use in Scandinavia and the rest of Europe when it comes to boat speed. Plus it is far more impressing if it is 83 knots, and and that was around my guess of the Jaguars speed but with the Merc 450R. Really i do not dissing the boat, i love the Bass cat and the Jaguar is the model that would suit the bigger waters i often fish in, but it is a very big investment so i think i´d have to settle for like a 300 Merc if i ever get the funds to import one. Keep on making great movie clips guys! Greetings from Sweden!

Top speed of 83 is pretty sad for a 400

Would love to see you bring these up to the St. Lawrence river and Lake Ontario...we'll show you what rough water is

I truly feel that the jag w a 450 should run upwards of 100mph my Phoenix 21’6 inch with a 250 sho run about 72-74 tournament 2 people possibly not enough break in ?

Are they fishing or racing

That boat is my dream boat, wish I had that kind of money to buy one

You're passing all the fish.

Can't afford these .. but great video.

I want!!!! 🤤

I like the boat. This is a large investment. What tournament league will allow this boat to participate? I always see the 250 HP max.

That big old motor needs a max 5 st or a clever!

My 2000 Stratos 22 SS extreme with a 225 Evinrude 25 pitch Renegade SS prop Tournament Loaded and just me runs 70 mph GPS. JS

That thing looks badddd

In South Africa we got plenty of bass boats with mercurys between 350 and 450

I think both of those are fantastic. Bigger engines to make it more fun but I don't know of any fishing tournaments that allow anything bigger than the 250. I could be wrong I don't know the rules for every tournament that's out there. Also there's got to be something different in the way they make the boat with the bigger engine. Every boat has a coast guard sticker that tells you horsepower ratings and weight limits and I don't see how a boat with a 250 that used to have a horsepower maximum of 300 is now a maximum of 400 but nothing within the frame or shape of the boat changed? I did enjoy the videos do not get me wrong it's just I have questions on how they can say both boats are the same. The only way that I know of that you can do that is to have an x in the serial number and that would stand for experimental and then you don't have to go by the Coast guard rating. Up until a few weeks ago I was getting ready to order another Ranger boat. All I'm waiting on is doctor's approval so I know if I can travel fishing or have to stay close to home for treatment. My friends know I'm itching to get back on the water and one of them sent me information on this exact boat. After doing research and reading up on it I honestly believe this will be my next boat when I'm able to get back out there. I'm still thinking to go ahead and pull the trigger and just stay in my home waters of the Chesapeake. As anyone who lives in this area who has ever fished in this area know for a fact there's a lot of places for bass fishing on the Chesapeake. We even have a few pretty good lakes nothing's spectacular but good enough to be able to spend a few hours out if I could and still be close to home. Thanks for giving out all the information on these two boats for this evening more videos on both of them.

Had a Stratos 201 pro 21 ft 200hp Evenrude. It would do 70 all day long with 2 people.

I was thinking it was a 21 and was a little disappointed with the speed. I just got one of the older 21 foot tritons with a 225 Merc EFI and it hits 73 with a 4 blade fury. The same setup is supposed to do around 75 fully loaded or 78 light loaded with a tempest. But with my 4 blade fury it gets out of the hole faster than my skeeter zx185 with a 175 Yamaha did

holy crap!... the topic should be about the clarity of that camera! what is it? that aint no gopro

Nothing better than pulling up to one of these boats with a super charged PWC and walking away from them at 1/3 the cost. As to ride, my Cobalt is so smooth it appears the bow doesn’t move in videos on white cap days. You can clearly see chine walking in these videos.

My 18 ft procraft will run 68 with a 150

I assume theres LOTS of room for more speed with getting it dialed in (props, engine height, setback). Darn good numbers for a heavy bassboat on a new powerhead! everyone here seems to think this is "all" it has LOL.

I wanna see that 400 on a bullet boat. Those did 100mph with a 300

Skip to about 6:30 and avoid all the boredom. You’re welcome!

I’d love to see how much freeboard the stern has full of fuel and someone fishing back there

WOW 🤩 beautiful and SEXY boat..... 😃 awesome colors . Now that’s a RUSH . That Cat got attitude guys....... I’m going to say after fully breaking in 88.2 mph all day long..... and also beautiful stance on full top end..... Nice job guys 👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👀👀👀👀😍😍😍😍 I am lost for anymore words

Bullets on the Chicamauga run in the mid 80's with 250 Yammies. I would expect that 400 would be a mid 90's boat possibly a hundo. I know Bass Cats aren't known for speed haul but damn 400hp??

Nice boat and it could be the camera but it kind a looks like you’re getting tossed around a little bit there

7:22 Look mom, no hands!! 8:25 What is top sleed?

Bass Cat ride puts Ranger to shame.Ive owned and ran both.

Man, I can get 68 mph on mines with 2 guys at 220 lbs plus, full tournament load, 5 31series agm batteries, and full tank. This is on my heavy astro 19ft with a 175hp xri

Wow, I expected close to 80 on the other rig.

Gorgeous boats but I'm kind of under impressed by the speeds. My 88 Ranger 374V with a 150hp, 27p prop on it hits 64mph by myself with a tournament load. I ran into ventilation issues with the prop when carrying 2 people so I dropped to a 23p prop and top out at 59mph with 2 people with a tournament load. I'm lookin for a new boat and saw this video but I gotta say, with a 250hp only hittin like 67mph is super disappointing to me. I'm sure it's the weight difference from my smaller 18ft boat to these but I guess I'd rather stay with a 18ft boat that will burn 6 gallons of gas on a tournament day and only lose a few mph to these brand new boats. Anyone know if mid 60's is normal for a 250hp with a 20-21ft boat? Can't believe 100hp more would only get me like 6-7mph more and I'm sure would burn through way more gas. Thanks.

6:50

I thought that 400 would be a lot faster! My 2014 ranger z521 loaded by myself full of fuel 50 gallons will do 71 mph all day long. Was thinking about getting a cat not sure now. I’ll subscribe to ur channel and see if u can sell me on this rig some more. Mine is a 2014 evinrude e tech

Video stats at 2:00

Wait until you hit a wakesurfers wake in this going 80. You wont be around much longer after that!

If your going to go 400R might as well go 450R and let her fly...Anything over 20ft is unlimited HP. Basscat is typically a fast hull, set up must not have been far enough back and propped wrong..easily should have been in 90s

My center console is almost as fast, what gives with so much power and only 83 on a BASS BOAT?!

My 20ft Bullet with 225 Mercury sports XS sportmaster lower unit, 84mph I think I can beat your 400R

No boat brand can keep up with the Phoenix’s. Fastest I’ve had my 920 with a 2 stroke merc 250 is 83, and 77 with a full tournament load, 3 people, full gas, and full live wells

The boat has bow lift just sitting there, it sits in the water like a cork. Not good

83mph with a 400 racing that boat has to weigh 3000lbs my old girl with 1 225 Pro XS 89MPH on gps full load two anglers oh I forgot to mention it was a competition haul Bullet 20XD

That thing at rest is motor heavy

150hp more for 10-15mph gain??? What am I missing here? I thought the cats were a mid 70mph boat.

Yeah it looks like a very nice boat but my question is can you catch a fish going 80 miles an hour most of y’all would rather play with your toys then fish anyway

I’m sorry but 83 is weak! My Phoenix 721 runs 85.6 with 300xs turning a 27 Fury, and runs 79-80 all day loaded with a 28.5 Bravo…

Don’t get me wrong this boat looks really good, but the designs for the actual hull just look extremely dated. Another thing is that these boats are so heavy that you need to spend over 15k in motor just to have it run 80.

you need a better set up this should be a 100 + boat

I fish Bfl’s been in about every well known bass boat around and I always seen a certain cat I absolutely loved the looks of of well I ended up getting drawn to fish with the guy and I’m here to tell ya the worst riding boat I’ve ever been I’ve never actually hurt in a bass boat but about mid day I was askin him could he take it easy hate those boats

😄😄😁😁😆😆😅😅🤣🤣😂😂

would totally get a fast as fuck bass boat. if i didnt live close to lake erie and have multi 9.9 restricted lakes near me. walleye boats are really my only choice

ehhh Eric Simmons builds alot faster, longer bay boats

400hp and only 83. A Ballistic will run over 100 with a 400

Note to self, don't buy a Bass Cat if you want to go fast.

wow....i bet you outfish all others dont you?

The motorcycle helmet 😂😂

BASS tourneys should go back to 150 HP MAX... no LIVE SCOPE or side imaging... allowed....

That's terrible I do 81 with a 225 Mercury on a 21-ft gambler. And with a 400hp your only doing 83 that's pretty bad nothing to brag about.

When they build them better than a Ranger let me know!!

Dont look like they ride good

83mph 😂😂😂 change the music bub that ain’t fast

Sorry but 400 HP on a bass boat is just out right stupid. Just stop already.

Sold them not good workmanship front end sets high off the water and very noisy plus ugly

Overrated and overrated review
