    If you was looking at a 19 footer with a 200.

    Kicking around the idea of getting a 19 with 200 these are three I have been considering. Of these three which one gets your vote?
    Phoenix 819 pro
    Falcon 195
    Basscat pantera

    I like them all, but the Phoenix would be my vote.

    Which one has a dealer closer that will give you great service? They will all three get the job done.

    The Pantera Classic has boat loads of storage and is a great rig! It would be a hard choice between the Pantera and the Phoenix

    I have had both the Phoenix and the Basscat, It would be a toss up between the two, Cat has its plus side and negative side just as Phoenix does, My biggest dislike with BassCat is they are Air entrapment hulls you need air under the hull for lift.

    Interesting... I was last year, and I looked at all of these also - 819, Falcon 195 and Pantera Classic. I went with the Phoenix 819, dealer was best for me by far. All good boats, can't go wrong with any on that list.

    I would go with the Pantera ...a VERY close second would be Phoenix....both great options but both very different boats (both boats will be fast, handle great and be good in rough water) they layouts and fishing platforms are much different though. The biggest deciding factor to me would be getting a custom BCB trailer (made in house by BCB and known for their quality).

    I'd look at the Falcon first then the Phoenix and decide between the two... And then go with Falcon... Dan

    BassCats are nice and quality boats but dont suit me well. Never really looked over a Falcon real close so that leaves me in a Phoenix... or Skeeter ZX200.

    I know the Phoenix has a decent amount of legroom. Not sure about the other two.
