The New Boat Should Be Here In 3 Weeks. I Can't Take It Anymore! 2024
Phoenix Guy reply :
5 weeks ago I ordered myself my first ever brand spankin new boat. I have had a few used boats, but i took the plunge and ordered a new one. It's a 2014 Phoenix 721 PRO XP. I went with the 250 Mercury Pro XS, Fortrex trolling motor, and HDS 8 in the console and the bow. The wait is about to kill me though. I was promised to have it by the end of August, so I guess 8 weeks isn't bad for an ordered boat. OK, DEEP BREATH, just 3 more weeks, I can do it. HAHAHA

Sounds sweeeeeeeeeet!
RyneB reply :
you are a lucky man. I remember the day I picked up my used 2000 Ranger last year. I couldn't imagine the excitement of a brand new boat. The problem is, I would be so anal I couldn't enjoy it. One little scratch would make me flip out. That's the one thing good about a used, if I see a scratch, I simply tell myself that it was someone else fault.
martintheduck reply :
My dream boat is a phoenix. Gonna need an update on how she rides once you break in that motor!
S Hovanec reply :
Dont sweat it, it'll be worth the wait! I know the feeling....It was a long 8-10 weeks when I ordered my Lund back in 2005.
Neebles reply :
Im probably the most impatient, need that instant gratification type of guy ever.... I would be going nuts if I was in your position... Its going to be so worth the wait, and the end of the month will come sooner then you think...Congrats, it sounds like a beast of a boat and it will be enjoyed immensely...
Phoenix Guy reply :
I will definatly post pics and updates after i pick it up. Also, i can't say enough about pleased i am with my Phoenix dealer, Eberlin Boat & Motor in Herman, MO. They helped me set this boat up exctly how i wanted. And the price was even better!
Dwight Hottle reply :
Sounds like a great boat. Did you get the merc smartcraft guage with it?
martintheduck reply :

Phoenix Guy reply :
Yea, im dying. After talking with the dealer, im hoping to have it by the end of next week. Fingers crossed.
RyneB reply :

Phoenix Guy reply :

martintheduck reply :
Just a few more days huh bud?
Siebert Outdoors reply :

I know, imagine being Nathan though. He's probably at the edge of the cliff.

Maybe he never ordered a boat and is just pulling our chain

The Burnt Orange is a sweet color. I havent seen too many boats with orange on them, so i had to go with it.

Yeah, but does it catch fish? 
After the break in period, drive it like you stole it

You literally own my dream boat at this moment. Would really like to hear what you think of it after a few months on the water.
Phoenix Guy reply :
I'm gonna take it out sunday to try and put some break in hours on the motor. Probably wont even take a rod. Just want to get that motor broke in right.

Why not take the rod, and give her a full systems check, trolling motor, livewell, fishability, you'll get plenty of time to break that motor in. Plus, if you don't bring a rod you know what will happen right? Schools of bass busting everywhere around you, lol! By the way I think your boat is sexy, call me weird!
K_Mac reply :
Nice! Make sure you have everything stowed, and cinched down good before you are ready to see what it will do. I'm guessing with that ProXS it will fly!
RyneB reply :
beautiful rig. What electronics are you running?
Phoenix Guy reply :
I have Lowrance HDS 8 Gen2 on the console and on the bow. Structure scan on both units. I had really good luck with the HDS 7 i had on my last boat, so i stayed with Lowrance on this one.
Phoenix Guy reply :
Had the boat out the past couple days, and i was very pleased. The boat rides great and fishes great also. Very happy with it.
ksboy reply :
Great boat!! Hope you have many opportunities to be on the water with her.
DelcoSol reply :
I've gotta say that I didn't know much about Phoenix boats but after seeing this thread I went on their site and I must say that I am in love. I am sure I will never be able to afford one though lol *crosses Ranger off of Powerball list and adds Phoenix*
martintheduck reply :
I really want to take a ride in one and get behind the wheel!
DelcoSol reply :
Those Legend bass boats are badass too. Champagne taste and beer money here lol. I am partial to orange and black myself 
TBendBassin reply :
Sweet ride dude!! Welcome to the phamily!!! I switched from ranger to phoenix this past year and got a 2013 phoenix 920 Pro XP and words can't explain how impressed I am with it!!!
Redlinerobert reply :
Congratlations, she's a beaut!
DelcoSol reply :
Just found a Phoenix dealer in MD not too far from me.. 
Phoenix Guy reply :
I have had the boat for a couple months now, and have been able to put some good hours on it. I can say it is the best riding boat I have ever ridden in, and the thing handles rough water like a dream. Also, the 250 Pro XS runs like a top. And the fuel milage is amazing, and it just sips the oil. All in all, a great boat. Love it.
