Wow the place looks different compared to the last time I was there! And in a good way. I carried a good friend up who is looking to sell his 19' Bumble Bee and get into a Phoenix. He fished out of mine last year and is now about ready to get in one himself. Mark gave us the $20 tour in contrast to the nickel tour.
We were there almost exactly two hours. We also spent some time with Jeff and Greg talking and looking at some neat things being tested on Greg's boat that are in the works.
What amazes me every time I go up there is that everyone you talk to knows the business and these boats inside and out. And, they actually care and are passionate about it. It's not just a job for them. I've been on tours with Jeff and Mark both, and learn something each time I go through.
There were numerous boats in all stages of completion and a stack of orders waiting to get started. The problem (if you want to call it that) is there are so many customer orders rolling in that boats for dealer stock are really backed up. They had just rolled out a 921 and we also got to check out a 921 that was just having the stripes taped off. That is a big boat.
Anyway, enjoyed the tour and we have sold another person on the Phoenix line. Now he just needs to get his current boat sold and decide which one he wants.
Thanks Mark and all of Phoenix!
