    What year did Phoenix raise the deck on the 721?

    If I heard correctly, Phoenix improved the fishability of the 721 by raising the front deck.

    What year did they do this, and can anyone comment on the difference?

    Thanks!!

    I think it was 2017 but not positive. My 2019 has it but I have no experience with the ones before the raised deck

    I think it was the 17s but not the first 17s. I had a 16. They just raised the deck which made it a little wider.

    I'm looking at a 2017 721 today. How will I know if it's the raised deck version?

    2017 they raised it. I believe the rod boxes won’t be cut in on the outside top corners. The boxes will be squared off.

    2017 is the year the raised the deck. I bought one new in March of 17 and the deck was higher, which also made it a bit wider than previous years.
