They had a silver flake Skeeter last year and it was bright in the sunshine!

Mine has the silver flake cap and it's never bothered me any.

Everyone has their own opinions of chine walking but my Phoenix is actually better about not walking than boats I've had in the past. Granted, if over trimmed it will start walking just like any other boat but it's an easy fix.

I've had a 721 for 5 years, they all chine walk. My boat has an 8" manual plate and I can run 73 before it gets to bad. But I will take a solid 70 with one hand any day of the week. Lots of guys running 919's and bumping upper 70's with a hydraulic plate.

I rode as a co-angler for two years in the BFL, rode in a lot of different boats. I will put the ride of my boat in rough water up against any out there. Drive one, ride one, before you make a decision.

popcorn I swear it looks super skinny in that picture. Maybe its the big fish that makes the boat look small. grin


I wish I could find someone with a 19 to ride with, they are more mythical than unicorns.

no doubt. I still don't have a ride in a 919...or an Eyra in the Austin (or 100 mile range of there) yet. Come on TFF...I know someone has one!
