    First bird coming in next week

    Been running stratos 201’s for over ten years, ordered a new 721 back in June figured that boat would be the closest boat to what I’m used too in the 201’s, anyway it’s been a grind waiting on this boat. Hopefully I will be happy with it, been reading a lot on the Phoenix boats about set up and what not, well I will say coming out of a 201 hopefully this thing will fit right in my lap

    You'll take to it right away. The 721 is VERY similar to a 201. Ride, handling, etc. will be familiar to you. Finish and hardware are nicer on the 721. Congratulations on the new rig.

    You can thank Alan Stinson for the 201 hull and multiple other hull designs that were great

    Absolutely, gobbles up rough water, and top in is over 80mph, little slow out the hole cause she heavy in the rear but once she up she rolling

    I also came out of a 201 into my 921, I think the 721 compares closely to the 201. As for the 921 it’s a good bit bigger and less nimble than that evo I had. I am pleased with the move and I think you will be as well.

    Yeah I think so too, I would’ve went with the 921 but didn’t want to spend the extra $10k
