Leftover 2019 Ranger 519 or New 2021 Phoenix 819

[bassmasteria]

Not trying to start a war but if you had a choice of the following what would be your choice:

leftover 2019 Ranger 519 with 225 Merc 4 stroke Tournament Elite Edition 12" and 9" Elite Touch Fortrex 80 (no jackplate, single axle trailer) 3 year warranty on motor.

or

Order a new 2021 Phoenix 819 with no electronics 112 Fortrex, tandem trailer, padded deck. 5 year warranty on motor.

Both about the same price.

Thanks

I had a 519 . Didnt like the waves at all and I got whiplash so bad from it I got rid of it.

Bullet, but if it won't work, buy the Phoenix

Phoenix is a no brainer in this scenario.

Depends on how long you keep it. The difference between a 2019 and 2021 is negligent in 10 years. If I was going to keep the boat long term the I would get the Ranger.

For the trailer alone.....

The Phoenix sounds like a better deal.

Phoenix, better motor warranty and I think it's nice to choose your own electronics (or add later). Good Luck.

No jack plate on a 225hp motor? What were they thinking?

There is nothing like a new engine with a warranty for many years... it's all about the engine warranty and health

I’d suggest going with the Phoenix

Whatever you go with get a spot lock trolling motor
