    The market will dictate the price. They’re popular boats now and they have an expansion going on along with sponsoring a lot of anglers now. It’s a popular brand right now. They gotta strike while the iron is hot

    You don't think other brands are going up also? They are just the first out with prices. The new Merc engines are about $800 of the increase.

    Everything is going up in my industry. It started with pipe a month or two back now sheet metal is ready to go up. These things makes my equipment go up which is supposed to happen very soon. I expect the basic materials Phoenix (and others) use are going up as well.

    I mean when is enough, enough lol they usually have a price increase every year but it just blows my mind where the boating industry is headed. My first Phoenix was a 2013 920 loaded out with EVERYTHING and i paid 55k for it. I can't say what i paid for my 2018 921 because it took me 6 months to find a dealer to give me an absolutely unbelievable deal but i know that the going price for a new 921 at the time i ordered mine last may was anywhere between 68k to 70k. Thats just crazy price increase in just 5 years!!

    Should go up 5k then they wouldn't have to overwork to keep up with demand! They sell them so fast they can't keep up

    When will the "You're just paying for the name" begin? JOKING!! They look very nice. I appreciate manufacturers making a quality product.
    Raise the price so they can keep quality and customer support. There will always be layers in market price and quality.

    Used Phoenix prices just went up also. Good for us considering selling in the next couple of years.

    Electronics, and trolling motors can add a ton if you go with top of the line. I remember when an X-16 paper graph was a big purchase now 12-16" touchscreens and transducers add a ton to the price.

    You name the product, and it's all going up. In days past, a fella' could buy the raw materials in bulk for a project and save some serious $$$$. Not anymore: everything, I mean EVERYTHING is high! Finished product on down to individual components/materials.

    I don't see Phoenix doing anything out of thn norm, and surly not being greedy. If you could buy the same product (components to quality) for much less, then I might agree. Add in supply and demand, and you have a free market working as it should.

    Only problem is my wages are not going up!!! Yet there are many new doors open for side work then a few years ago!
