Re: Basscat, triton or nitro?

If you decide Basscat through Boatmaster's, I think they are offering a total of 7 years on the Mercury motor also. I'm not sure of the details, but it would be worth looking into. Good luck on you new boat, whatever you end up getting! :D

Re: Seat belts

Was that a study that was conducted on the percentages of being thrown out or having it flip? Just really curious as I had two of my good friends at Lake Sam Rayburn flip a bass boat and one of them was trapped underneath and almost died! Just sayin!
