I fished Co-Angler in a BFL on Cherokee Lake last weekend and had the privilege of riding in 2020 PHX20. It was the first time I had sat or rode in a Phoenix.
It was a great day with a great boater. I'd say we ran 20-30 miles throughout the day. It wasn't a particularly rough water day but saw and felt how the boat handled and ran at take-off and a few other times throughout the day. I realize a driver has enormous influence on how a boat rides, but I could also tell this is an excellent running boat.
It was a privilege to spend a day in it.
Phoenix owners should be a proud bunch.
