think resell. What will you have the best chance at selling, say 7 or so years from now?

With the popularity of them and the better ride and performance of other brands, I think so

Where are you located? Go test drive a Phoenix. Hopefully you will get a nasty day with rollers like on Amistad last Saturday. I wouldn't have wanted to be in any other rig in Mexico with those waves. Love my 920- everything about it.

I have a 920. And I had a champ 202 before and a champ 190 before that. It is faster and rides just as good as the 202. It fishes better. I've rode in the 521z and they ride ok. But nothing like the Phoenix. Resale is gonna be great they have done nothing but go up in value.

I just considered a phoenix....Personally I think they are overpriced for being a "Newer boat mfg" and comparing vs the top 4 mentioned I think they are ugly. However from the layout and speed and from what I hear the ride they must be doing something right.

I have the 819 and for a boat under 20' It has an amazing ride.

Ugly? That's a first

If you order now there's a good chance it will be an 18. There is a pretty long waiting list right now.

Lol, Ugly? so, nothing known about performance or if they are good boats? Take that comment for what it is worth. I currently have 2016 Skeeter FX21, I placed my phoenix order about 8 weeks ago 2017 921 PHX. will be rolling off the line on May 8th. Awesome boat and layout!

I think people put to much thought into which brand to buy. What they should be looking at is design and layout. You should decide if you want wider deck or narrower deck. See if a boat is limited to one motor(Skeeter-Yamaha & Nitro-Mercury for example). If you like that motor it's a non issue. Do you like a faster rig or is speed a non issue. Which boat has the storage set up to your liking. There are many questions to ask yourself. I own a Skeeter and fished out of just about every other brand out there and there just isn't a brand that just absolutely out classes the others IMO. So I say buy a boat that has the features and layout you want and don't just buy a name.

this is one of those posts that should be titled "WHAT DO YOU OWN"
i also agree slightly with the "ugly" comment --it looks like the person laying out the graphics got drunk at lunch then did the tail end of the side stripes

i agree with SAKS ---" there is a butt for every seat "

Here is my take on them. they are pretty boats, they are fast,and ride good. But my worry is something that will take time to prove out. I have owned 11 bass boaqts and the ONLY boat that after a few years that I haven't had to tighten a bunch of screws, replace a hinge or two, work on wiring is the 1 Ranger I own today. And for the record this boat is the only boat I have kept more than a couple of years and it is now 15 years old. I do plan to retire it next year and get another.
So there is no doubt that Phoenix boats are really good boats but will all of the little things stay together over time.

That is a ridiculous statement saying they are overpriced for being a Newer boat mfg". What does being a new company have to do with the price? So since they are new they should have a lower price than the others?? With that line of thinking I guess the oldest boat manufacturer should charge the most just because they have been building boats the longest, and not because of the quality of the product. That is just laughable. If the quality of the Phoenix is as good or better than the others, then why should they sell them for less? They are in it for a profit just like the others.

They are well made boats.

Maybe a better question is "Does anyone own a Phoenix and not like it?" If I ever sell my Phoenix it will only be to buy another one.

I've had my 721 since 2009. I love it.
