There have been so many different discussions about boats. This forum has a "Search" feature. Let it be your friend. These questions only turn into a pissing match.

I've heard nothing but good reports on Phoenix. I'm a long time Skeeter owner, but would look closely at them if i was in the Market.

I've got one.
I drove 10 hours to pick it up, and I have a Ranger dealership literally within 2 miles of the house...so take that for what it's worth.
I've been in '17 model Ranger 520 and 521Cs and I'm glad I made the decision that I did.
Same things as already listed...faster, better layout, and just lots of little things that go unnoticed until you're actually in one of the boats.
I won't own anything except a Phoenix unless I'm paid to fish out of something else. It really was built FOR fishermen (not saying other boats aren't).

Do you know if you can order straight from the factory or do you have to go through a local dealer?

My next boat will be a Phoenix, hopefully.

I have several friends who have jumped to Phoenix, These guys were long standing Skeeter, Ranger and Cat owners, must be something to it.
It's on my short list when I buy new.
