Phoniex Boats, Your Opinions

I have had champions, Skeeters, Legend boats.

I drew Gary Clouse the owner of Phoenix boat at the PAA when they were on Ray Hubbard. I loved the boat, layout. I was wanting opinions from those who have them, road in them. To me Skeeter, Basscat, legend and etc., etc are all great boats. Likes Ford and Chevy. There both great trucks. I was just liking the layout and such of Phoenix so checking them out. I thinking the 20' with 225. Yamaha or Merc. Motor haven't decided yet.

I have a new Ranger Z520C but my buddy has a 921 Phoenix. I love his boat. Same basic layout as mine with a few minor changes. His boat takes rough water a little better than mine. That and not tracking as good in the wind while on the trolling motor is about the only difference I can see. Great boat, check em out. If I hadn't bought my Ranger it probably would have been a Phoenix.

great layout and fast too. i just got a skeeter and personally feel it drives a little better than a pheonix, plus i lucked into a great deal that helped me pull the trigger on it but pheonix was definitely on my shortlist

They ride great as said above. I have a 921 on Fork you are welcome to come take a ride in it.

Have had 2 birds, 3rd will be here in a few weeks. It's a 919w/225 Pro xs, AWESOME BOAT! It's great for casual to tournament fishing. What stands out to me is layout as stated above and the ride in rough water. SUPER dry boat and soft landings. Customer service is best in the business. I've toured the factory and Phoenix is a top notch company from the bottom to the top in ALL areas. If you're around rayburn or toledo let me know, be happy to take you for a ride.

I sell them and have road in every Phoenix model. Great boat equipped with more standard features than other major manufacturers. Will be glad to take you on a demo ride and work you up a quote on one.

I fished a tourney in one a few years back. IT WAS AWESOME!!

I loved every bit of it.

I like the layout but more importantly, the width of the front deck. Nice and big.
Call Jason Ponder. He owns the Phoenix dealership up by Win Star Casino in Oklahoma just over the Texas line. His number is 580-277-4398. He will take good care of you!

I have a 2015 921. I have had several boats but the two that I owned that would be compairable, due to length, horsepwer, etc. would be a Triton TR21, and a Skeeter ZX250. The Triton handled rough water better and rode better, but I liked the layout of the Skeeter better, and both were fast boats. From what I have experienced so far with the Phoenix is that you get everything I mentioned above in one package. It's a great boat.

Love my Phoenix! Had a couple Skeeters in the past and they are great boats but even my wife commented on how much better the Phoenix rode. Had an issue with one of the seats and contacted Phoenix about it. They called the next day and were all over it. Very easy to work with. No wasted space. I have the smaller boat (618) and it's got a ton of storage.

Rode in Russ Lanes as a marshal. Nice boat! Big front deck and fishes flat, which I like

I'm on my 6th Phoenix and am completely satisfied. If your around Toledo Bend look me up for a ride. Great company and they stand by their products.

It's on my short list for my next boat. Putting my skeeter on the market in a couple weeks.

I drive a 2013 920 with a 250 Show and I've had Basscats, Skeeters, 2 Rangers and a Legend. This boat has a great ride, very soft landings, great in rough water, wide deck, nice layout and is fast. I will have it for sale in a couple of weeks because I'm ordering a 2015. Going to start seeing more and more of them. You won't be disappointed!

I have a 2014 921 with 250 Pro XS and I could not be happier with it. Great customer service, great riding boat and great looking boat. I couldn't ask for more.

I had 2014 618 phoenix with a 175. I have owned basscat and blazer. Now I only had the phoenix for 8 days until a drunk driver hit me and totaled my truck and boat. But to me the phoenix was a much better layed out boat compared to the basscat. They road about the same but would pick a phoenix over basscat again just cause I liked the lay out. The 18 footer was set up perfect for the average angler with huge livewells and plenty of storage.

There isnt a better all around boat on the market the layout the ride it drives and handles great. The best rough water boat hands down. You cant go wrong buying one. Also awesome customer service.

When it's time for me to upgrade I will be buying a phoenix

I've had two 921's, my next boat will be the same just different color. The co angler I fished with this past weekend had a new 520 Ranger. He was impressed with my 921, room, speed but most importantly to him was the ride. He told me he had never been in a better riding boat and Big Sam has been bumpy lately.

I recently started looking at new boats and Phoenix was one that was on my short list. I do like the layout, the ride, almost everything. Couple of things I didn't like were the old style switches, vinyl/plastic on consoles rather than glass, and the paint design. The paint/stripes were just a little too busy and I really don't like the big phoenix bird/word on the side of some.

I have been in this boat a couple of times and it is a very nice boat. Great lay out.

Love mine! smooth, fast and great layout with a quality build. Their customer satisfaction is the best out there right now.

Went to a 721 from a Z7, my back does not hurt after running rough water. Love the layout, and if I could learn to catch fish we would both be happier. Hearing lots of great things about the 919 with a 225, may look at one down the road. Lots of good boats out there, all in what fits you and your budget at the time.

Papa, your rubbing it in!!
You got a great rig at a GREAT price...
God Bless

I'm still waiting on your boat when it comes up for sale.

Brad, probably will put this one up for sail in the fall.

I checked the out at the Classic.....never fished in one...but...they look good..

rode with papamark in his and phoenix or basscat would be my choice for a new boat if I could afford it, really nice boats.

Best riding boat on the market in my opinion, I have 2012 921, and everyone that's been in it is totally impressed, I've had both Basscat and Skeeter, and my wife was sold on the Phoenix after her day on Eufaula in 20+ mph winds, going through the chute! The layout is great, lots of storage, and the live wells are huge. For a big boat pretty fast, not as quick as the Cats...but 75+ isn't bad either...

Where is a good dealer in Louisiana...close to shreveport/bossier??

I've not owned as many Phoenix boats as some of you, but I bought my 721 in 2009. It is holding up very well. Looks nearly new.

Some have questioned the longevity so I can say don't worry about that. I plan to keep this one until I can't fish anymore.
