I went from a 21XRD to a 721 and have been MORE than happy. With two guys and full load in the Bullet, I ran 78-79. With two guys and a full load in the Phoenix (one more batter and 50 vs 36...

Hey guys, I just listed my 2017 721 on the sale page! Go check it out if you're looking, its a looker and LOADED! Thanks
If you're complaining about how it handles on a bait caster, you probably need to loosen up your spool and use your thumb more.
We can't in any of the three collegiate tours
Also, you can tie a Palomar with fluorocarbon, you just can't cinch it like you normally would with mono. You have to bring the knot up the line, let the loop go over it, and then move it to the...
I fish a lot of shallow, dirty water and still mostly use fluoro (and braid for heavy duty stuff). I only use mono when I'm using a leader to a popper or prop bait. I like it because with less...
I haven't seen the latches in person, how are they secured?
I was hoping that wouldn't be the case haha, no problem.
I'm switching to Solix's soon, once they actually get some that stay in stock for a while. I'll post a lengthy review when I do, coming from Lowrance Gen 3 units.
I know this is off topic, but how do you overcome the Helix units not sharing mapping from the console unit?
The new fat shafts have a tendency to break if they are bent to a certain degree, that's why I have to get a new one.
Just because it was older doesn't mean anything haha, people still claim that the Champions had the best rough-water ride of any hull even with today's boats.
I hit a stump and bent mine and ran it for two days afterward, and it was VERY visibly out of spec. I'm not advocating for it, but I had no other choice, we were in Arkansas and it was the evening...
Exactly, it's a personal preference. I think the width of the V-20 front deck is what lends itself to a tendency to "slap" the water on re-entry, but then again, that's subjective and completely my...
I run a Phoenix but given the choice I would choose the Skeeter out of the two you polled for.
Hackney
Bobby Lane
Tharp
Benton

I have a friend who runs a 919, it will do an honest 76 mph with full fuel, tackle, and two guys (350-400lbs) with a 24V troller, two 8' Blades, and a stock 25 Fury. I have the exact same setup in a...
I've always said that Legend has a fit and finish that is second to none but I draw the line at needing aesthetics over performance. I already knew about the battery compartments and the fiberglass...
Hey guys, I hit a stump on Dardanelle in my 721 and knocked the gel coat off about a 3" round patch of the back, left hand side of my pad. The Phoenix factory recommended Toledo Fiberglass and I've...
Two members of the Ascension Area Anglers both have been thrown out of their boats, and one of them multiple times, but they are still BCB customers. Maybe they are running them too hard, too much...
I would choose the Phoenix over the BCB NORMALLY, but the Caracal is a SWEET package! I think speed will be very similar, my buddies 919 with a 24V Motorguide, two 8' Blades, full fuel, and two guys...
Hackney, Lane, Benton

Co-angling the Opens I've had the opportunity to ride in both brands, although not those particular models. I own a Phoenix myself but the Skeeter I rode in (an FX20) was a VERY smooth ride in rough...
Not a huge Ranger fan but this is SO COOL!!!!! That's living the life on a limited-horsepower lake for sure!!!
I'm a Phoenix man but the Caracal is an AWESOME 19-footer! I'd take it any day over a the 519!
