Phoenix 721 - Yamaha SHO 250 - 8' Blades
Fantastic rig. Fishes big, handles like a sports car, eat up some chop, smoke some flat water and rides boat wakes like a caddy- yet is sneaky around boat docks. All Phoenix boats pretty much fit these descriptions (minus the sneaky around boat docks ) as they all share common hull geometry and design.
Each rig has there own strengths, but if you've rode in one model bird, you've rode in them all. I was amazed how much my 919 acted like my 618 I upgraded from. It was 'all that', and then some!
Setup a test fish in one and see for yourself!
Good luck on the Bird hunt!!

Love my 919. I agree with everything Ray Co. Hank said. I came out of a Triton (loved it), but the 919 really out did it in all aspects. I Have ridden in most makes of bass boats. I have also owned tracker aluminum and tracker fiberglass (sleds) before they became Nitro. Anglers Port Marine allowed me to test ride a Legend and Phoenix on the same day. You will be very happy with a 919. No kowing what you need and what can fit in your garage, go test ride 919. They are great boats. The 919 fit my needs and fit in my garage also.
Good luck on your hunt.

There are no negative aspects to a 919 Phoenix,
unless you are afraid of going fast

Only reason I have a 920 and plan to have a 921 (or 21 PHX) next is because of the huge water I am forced to put myself into on some tourney days. If I wasn't a tourney fisherman, or didn't have to fish them on Rayburn, Tbend, Falcon, and Amistad consistently, I would 100% be in a 919 forever. IMHO, I think it is the most complete rig they make. Not saying a 919 couldn't/doesn't handle that water just fine....I just personally want the length for the waves.
Love my 919, I honestly cant think of any negatives about it. It is everything I wanted in a bass boat plus some!

I love mine. Super fun to drive, like a sports car but rides like Cadillac. I had a ranger that would skip sideways in sharp turns and this Phoenix just digs and cuts right around, kinda reminds me of a ski boat.
