Loved my 2014 921 ProXP. Not a single issue in almost 5 years. Wish they made an intracoastal.

Man, I really wanted to buy a Phoenix before my Ranger, I really did, but I absolutely can not swallow the cheap black vinyl that they use on the bow and stern dash shrouds. That ish belongs in the 90's IMO. Other than that, fantastic boat with great customer service.
What really showed me I made the right decision was after I brought my Ranger to Fun n sun for service and went walking around their used inventory (they had a bunch of used Phoenix's in stock) and EVERY SINGLE dash shroud was loose and the graphs shook all over the place.

My shrouds look great because I take care of them- my graphs are rock solid on Precision Sonar mounts- and I know I made the right decision every time I pass a Ranger (which is every time I see one)  Not butthurt, just having a bit of fun with ya.

Another good video. The handheld microphone worked well.

Its all good! Like I said Phoenix makes a great boat and if they change that cheap vinyl down the road I'll probably own one. I bought a Ranger... its obvious top end speed isn't a important factor to me lol 74mph on a medium/light load is all I need! Those graphs at fun n sun had a mix, I believe two of them were on BBT mounts and the other was mounted to the shelf of the dual graph phoenix shroud.

Great video Ken. I like the Phoenix a lot and if I were looking for a new boat I would look hard at them. I have fished from a 921 PHX a bunch.

They definitely have some cost cutting in them. They were a great price and value when they were a new company (same song different verse to other bass boat brands that have come and gone) but now established they've raised their price to match along the status quo of the other brands.

Good looking boat but like someone mentioned it has some cost cutting, cheap stuff, at least to me it does. If it was priced accordingly I could see it being more appealing but the way it is I wouldn’t even consider one. Just my worthless opinion, it’s definitely a nice boat and most people that own them really like them. I’m definitely a little biased but when I compare a Bass Cat to a Phoenix I just prefer the Bass Cat but everyone’s different.
I looked at a new BCB Jaguar and that’s the most impressive boat I’ve seen if you want a big water boat. I knew it was big but seeing it in person really impressed me. It’s the ultimate big water boat in my opinion.

Just don't let your fish catches for the day sway you. I can see how you can like something better if you had a killer day and make you think you like the boat more.
