Thanks guys for the help, I will look into this a little more.

just got a quote today for a 2014 721

with what brand and hp motor, and...how much?

There is a new dealer in Vidor, Jordan Marine

At this stage of the game there is very little room for even a good boat because of paybacks and other money, Triton Gold and on it goes, - the resale is not as good on a minor company and that is all they can ever be unless the Triton, Ranger, Straros people buy them out - Skeeter is very small if you get out of Texas by the sales number so a very small company that might produce a very good boat has very little chance of going far but locally - they don't have the billoions to back them and in turn the resale is not up to par with the big boys

I need to take a pic and post of my 921, black and silver with red pin stripes and red blade power poles.

I hate to brag but it freakin sharp

I've never been stuck on any one boat but may be stuck on Phoenix

A salesmen at Shipps was telling me one of the persons that put together the Phoenix was the designer of the Champion boats thus coming up with the name Phoenix (raised out of the ashes). I recently had my boat worked on at Shipps and they are great people to work with. Good luck with whatever boat you choose.

Billy, since when did Scott start carrying Phoenix?

There was a 920 or 921 at the Pack tournament Sunday....I think it is LA tags on it...it was one of the best looking boat I had ever seen.

i wouldnt say skeeter is very small out of texas
lots of skeeters in the south east. also it may appear phoenix dosent have good resale but u also have to realize they r cheaper when u buy them new

Bad resale? And he can't find a used one because there are not a lot for sale? Those two statements don't jive...supply and demand..these boat are just not big in Texas yet..

Texas areas (and I'm sure other states) have "brand loyalty clicks" based around the tournament scenes and incentive payout programs. In some areas you are even looked down upon if you buy certain brands over others. I'm sure as time goes on, Phoenix will establish more and more of a foothold on this market. I know when I pull the trigger......it's going to be a Phoenix!

Phoenix does have the First in Flight program and are into alot of the trails around the Country including Bass Champs . Here's a link to some info. http://www.phoenixbassboats.com/firstflighttournament.html

I am going to have to disagree, I have been looking at used boats for about 3 years and it really doesn't matter what boat you find, if it's a 2005 or newer with a 225 hp plus your looking at 25k plus. Some used boat prices are just laughable. The lowest on the totem pole ( no disrespect ) would be the Nitro. Now, given the price comparability on "new" boats, the Nitro is more affordable. So a 3 or 4 year old Nitro will be less expensive than a 3 or 4 year old Skeeter or Legend or Ranger ect. ect. You will find those used boats for sale that were 60k brand new, now they are 10 years old and worth 20k but up for sale by owner at 35k which is beyond me. People seem to be "really" proud of what they owe, or what they think their boat is worth to them, versus what the boat is really "worth". The "new boat sales" of skeeter might be larger in Texas, but most anglers are searching for used boats due to the fact of increased cost of a new boat. About 30% of used boats I find in the 20k range are in Texas, the rest are Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, the list goes on and on. Anyway to get to the point I believe companies like Phoenix Boats are like hidden gems that everyone wants, but decide to believe the hype and choose a "proper" brand. There is a reason why some of the best anglers in the world have chosen Phoenix, and that's good enough for me to decide to be interested in them.
