At the Bass Cat Boats dealer meeting a few weeks back we got the chance to take a Bass Cat Eyra with the Mercury 300 Racing motor out for a spin and tried to get a sense of the boats top speed, and how it handles at speed. Note watching this on the TV here at the house I finally saw that Kenny got 86.8 mph right there at the end..friggin zoom

Amazing footage. Going to to try some of the techniques to see if I can counteract the chine walk on my boat. Also have a feeling that I am also over trimming my boat coming from a 90HP to a 200HP on a similar hull .

Having owned a Basscat PIV with a 3.0 EFI and also a Z521C like Ken’s old boat- neither the Cat nor the Ranger liked too much trim. Much different than the Skeeter ZX200 (my first boat) it liked the trim all the way up and I could drive it with no hands on the wheel. The Skeeter was a kidney killer though!

Someone was generous enough to take me out on his Eyra last year just so I could get a feel for the boat. It's on my short list of potential next boats. I couldn't believe the mid-range acceleration... and that was with a 2 stroke 250 ProXS.... unreal performance, but definitely needs some seat time to learn how to drive it. It fished well but if you're vertically challenged like myself, the lower sitting position in the cockpit makes it a little hard to see over graphs mounted to a BBT style mount. Solid feel and performance like all BBC boats.

You know it seems a fun boat to drive and the speed is really attractive, but I just really like a wider fishing platform up front. If the new Puma STS really does turn out to be 2-4 mph faster than the Lynx, and it has the wider front deck, I'll be tempted if it rides like the Lynx in big water

Thank you for the reply. Looking into a Lynx to purchase new and was looking into a 300 Verado on the back. On you video with Rick I believe he said that a 300 Verado on a Lynx would be a awesome set up. On the 300R I was wondering if the valves on it require adjusting more than a regular 300 motor. Thank you for all your input that you are doing for us.

@@KenSmithFishing just seems pretty unsafe. I mean ultimately its on the driver to be safe, but a hotfoot to me is as important as a kill switch. I compare that to having a throttle lever in your truck. Just seems like really unsafe/old thinking. I get it that boats used to run 35 mph for fishing but 70+ is a diff creature. Just my opinion , all boats that run 50+ should come standard with one.
