Exactly- it's called "sponsorship". New companies need good marketing. Those pros prob have the best deals out of all the brands. I would own a Phoenix, just from hearing Jay talk about his. Plus, they have a fast hull and the first one to the spot owns it.

I would be more than willing to help market the quality of Phoenix Boats. Just sayin.

I got to go fir my first ride in a 721 with a 225 sho and that thing is nasty. Not only was it the best looking boat ive ever seen but it was ridiculously fast out of the hole. And cut through the rough water like no other. When i can afford one ill have a phoenix for sure!

I heard there was a dealer in Livingston....But have been unable to find any info. I was hoping to be able to get "touchy/feely" and get a demo ride before jumping in with both feet. This will be my first boat BTW.....coming from the kayak world! That's where I bought my Phoenix, but they don't sell them any more. I have a 721 I bought in Nov. 2009. I don't see any reason to sell it. (Although a new 921 is tempting.) Like another gentleman said, and after nearly 40 years of boat ownership, it is 'probably my last boat purchase'. I bought the one I thought would last me the rest of my life.

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 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. +1000 I would buy one, without any reservations!! I think they are very well built.

I will be looking at new or slightly used boat in the next year or so, and the more I see the more and more I am leaning towards one. The folks I know who have ridden in one or own one I haven't heard one bad thing about them yet.

The only bad thing I have heard about Phoenix is that it is narrow and doesn't have a lot of front deck space compared to the other leading brand boats. But I am also in a 19 foot skeeter at the moment and I guarantee anything 20 foot plus is better than what I'm in now.

Really nice boat bud, but I, myself, am interested in a black, red, and white theme. Maybe a little silver in there to match the F250. Good luck on the sale, very nice.

The 920 and 921 both have a HUGE front deck,, they set up with a front deck more like the Rangers.. The 721 has a narrow deck but its still enough for 2 people to fish off of.. I will try and get you guys some pictures.
