    Best all-around boat

    In full disclosure I’ve spent 2 days in Phoenix boats so I have very little knowledge. What is the best all around Phoenix boat for speed, ride, and fish ability? I know it’s a loaded question but would like to hear opinions.

    thanks in advance!

    It's really about what you want. The longer the boat the better the ride. You have to weigh it for how you fish. They all perform really well in all aspects.

    721 IMO. Big, fast, great ride and the most boat for your money.

    im truly a junk fisherman. I love to fish way out deep then move in and flip if needed. I love it all!

    thanks everyone for the opinions

    721 is the best bang for the buck. I've had 7 of them.

    Currently in a 921 (from a 721)... You asked for speed, ride and fishability... IMHO 920, 721 or 921. My 921 runs 72-74 on tourny day and handles rough water and the small river I fish equally well and fishes extremely well. I used to have a 721, it was faster rode almost as good as my 921, fished well, but not as well as the 921 and handled awesome. Haven't run a 920, but I know they are similar in speed to a 721and I've heard they handle similar or slightly better. IMHO, if you aren't sure which of those 3 are right for you, save the money and go with the 721.

    721's are awesome - they are fast! I fish team tourneys and you couldn't pry my PHX 21 out of my cold dead hands.

    Just bought a 2020 721 pro xp with 250 merc 4 stroke ride is unreal, so far 75 mph and still learning where to put the bobs jack plate it fishes great has tons of storage and not that any of them are cheap but it is a lot of boat for the money. Also I am old school and I like the two lid middle storage up front better than the single coffin lid just what I like no matter what ya get once your on the water your goin to love it there all great boats

    I wouldn't have anything but a 9 series, but I like a wider deck.

    I also run a 619 Pro (2012) and love it. However, when I get to the point of buying a new one I will buy a 721. The 721 seems to be a great boat for the money, and it will fit in my garage. If money was no object and my garage was big enough, I might get the 921.
