    The Stripe...

    But they won't have the Stripe. Been a big part of the bass boat landscape and weirdly important to me. Thoughts?

    For the elegance of the Ranger stripe or the Champion arrow, as opposed to the cheesy Phoenix, Nitro, and Legend graphics. Even Basscat's bolt is a bit of a turn-off for me.

    x2 I’d have to say I agree with ur statement. But I’m not sure I’d say the Legend or Basscat graphics are as out there as the other 2 u mentioned. Heck, I liked the old simple swoosh on Tritons before they added the lower stripe to it, and the boat I own now has that lower stripe. But everyone’s got different taste and that’s why they’re not all same.

    If they were all one solid color with no names or graphics they would all look the same from afar. How would you guys know which brands are inferior and cheesy when youre on the lake?

    Just throwing this out there...i would take a guess and think that the symbol in their name will be incorperated into the side of the boat somehow.

    Like a big "V" on the side of the boat, where each side of the letter looks like a woman's leg?

    Well. maybe not.

    Simple, listen for the slapping=Skeeter, cutting people off=Ranger, Matching jerseys and tons of decals=Nitro, spearing waves=Triton.

    Chessy LOL what's elegant about upside down hockey sticks. Nothing says elegance like our bow wings...So there :-). Yeah I know I insulted Ranger I'm sure I will be burnt at the stake like a heretic.

    Don't worry, the only reason they don't like the wings is because they have to look at them all the time as we go by and pull away

    For a tournament guy's perspective, that sounds great!

    Would rather it be a solid color than a cheesy Pheonox or Netro stripe. Life is too short to have an ugly boat..

    It's nice you get one fleeting moment in a day to cherish.

    However, it's not you that has worries about a cheesy looking boat, because you're inside of it.

    The main concern is rest of us having to look at that eyesore out on the lake.

    I spelled cheesy correctly.. I just hope the Vexus has a good looking design. This is the Vexus forum not hooked on Pheoniox. All in fun, i have a 15 year old boat. Smokin HOTT but 15 years old lol. All the new ones look nice! Even the Bow Wangs

    Yes I agree we all have great rigs, and are proud of them all. I have had Rangers and loved them too. My take is, as long as I can fish from them I'm happy. Oh and it's spelt Phoenix :-) Merry Christmas to All

    All that matters is what comes out of the bag at the scales. Do really think them green fish care what kind of boat they ride in?
