    The wait begins......

    Got my new 721 ordered yesterday, looks like it'll be here around the 1st week of March. Going to be a long wait, guess I'll have lots of spare time to spend in the wood shop.

    That's gotta be painful! I tell ya Scott everytime I think about getting out of my 721 I get back in it and love it. She is coming up on 5 years old in March, still the best boat for the size.

    Are you going hydraulic or manual on the new one?

    Blue again, basically just reversed the colors on my previous one and added the dual deck color option, so the inside would be white.

    Looks like you'll be just ahead of me by a week or so.

    Congrats and I agree with Ed. You’re gonna really love that boat! No reason for me to get rid of my 721 either... I love my bird! Oh, and I have a manual jack plate. I’d spend money on an Ultrex before a hydraulic plate.

    I get this question a lot, since this will be my 3rd 721. The primary reason I've gone with a 721 is that it's the most bang for the buck. You get a great fishing platform for less dollars from than either a 920 or 921. I've fished my 721 all over the southeastern part of the country and haven't been anywhere that I felt like I needed the larger 921 and I have a hard time going to a smaller boat like the 920, just for a little bit more speed.

    Same here!

    And I went with an Ultrex over a hydraulic plate.

    Good looking ride Scott, thanks for sharing.

    My 721 should be here next week. It's been a long wait.
