2026 Bass Cat Cougar FTD SP

The 2026 Bass Cat Cougar FTD SP is a 20-foot fiberglass bay boat built for serious anglers. Its Legacy Bass Cat hull delivers a dry ride and responsive handling, with an alternative Hybrid 203 hull available. The boat's layout prioritizes practical storage throughout—center storage allows tackle access without moving deck rods, while the improved rear storage features dedicated twin doors for Power Pole setup. Twin drop-in bait trays sit overhead, and additional storage runs beneath the Wave Crusher bucket seats and dual cockpit coolers.

The console accommodates larger dual graphs and includes an interactive digital switch panel. Two Helix 7 CHIRP GPS units provide navigation and sonar capability. A Minn Kota Fortrex 80 45-inch trolling motor with 24V power handles shallow water work, paired with a Slidemaster jackplate for precise positioning. The boat holds 52 gallons of fuel across two 26-gallon tanks and features pump-in, pump-out livewells with integral lighting.

Hull construction uses vinyl ester resin on 60 percent of outer laminates with full fiberglass construction throughout. The foam-filled stringer system provides durability. A Minn Kota 3-bank charger manages battery power, with dual 1000 GPH automatic bilges for safety. Tilt hydraulic steering, a high-performance steering wheel, and stainless hardware round out the core systems. Deck lighting, acrylic hand rails with billet stanchions, and an integrated stainless ladder complete the setup.

The specific boat shown includes a single fold-down seat with butt seat and Pro Pole, R&R 8-inch manual jackplate, Garmin Force Pro 50-inch trolling motor, 8-foot Power Pole shallow water anchor, Pro Guide 4-bank charger, and a Pro Guide 31AGM starting battery. Garmin ECHOMAP Ultra 126sv, Garmin Live Scope, and custom cover are also equipped.
