I have fished out of several and I like em alot. Good ride on big water, nice layout and storage and built like a tank. When my 201 PE gives out I'll be looking at the Phoenix hard.

I have the 619 w/ 200 SHO
Love it, fishability is great and they are very well put together ( glassed in boxes, fully enclosed consoles etc). Top speed is 64 with 2 people and a tackle shop onboard. They thought of alot of the details on these boats, and standard equipment inlcludes things most other boats have as "add ons" including rhino lined trailers, hot foot, jackplate, chargers, tackle organization systems, lighted boxes, huge livewells w/ pump in/pump out and the list goes on. Customer service is outstanding( although I haven't needed them since it was delivered) but how many other boat brands will send you updates and pictures of the build as they go along.

I just bought a Legend but when I was looking Phoenix was my second choice. They are very well built boats.

I have a 2009 721, 250 Pro XS. I love it! Tons of storage. Great ride. The removable passenger console and net storage are cool too. The folks at the company will bend over backwards to answer questions and get you the information you need. That in itself is worth a lot.

WRGoat, what kind of speed do you get with that setup? If something is wrong with boat can you get a response from the company? I know with some companies it's like pulling teeth to get a response when addressing issues on brand new boats.

I've had 2011 and 2012 721 ProXPs, both rigged with 250 SHOs. Take a look at one in person, and better yet, go for a ride. No doubt, the boat sells itself. Plus, Customer Service is also second to none.
If anyone wants to go for a ride, let me know. I live at Sam Rayburn.

Phoenix will probably be my next boat.

I've had it at 71mph before the pucker factor kicked in. I usually run in the low 60's. I know guys with the same setup reporting mid to upper 70's. It will shoot out of the hole and fly in no time at all. I called the company before I bought mine because the length on the trailer was not published at the time. I spoke with the VP and he didn't have it in front of him, so he ran out and measured it himself. Not many companies left that will do that.

My 721 is a 2010 and I still love it. When I bought it, I was looking for a boat that will hold up for a long time. After owning many boats since the '70s, I figured it would be my last purchase. I couldn't be happier.

I rode with Gary Clouse in his personal boat last year at the Texas Toyota Bass Classic - it was pretty rough on Conroe that day and I have to say it's a pretty good ride and an even better layout - with built in perks like custom net storage and storage under the passenger rod ramp. Nice boats.
