Thinking of ordering a new Pheonix 719, any suggestions of additional options to order? Thanks!
Things I'll be ordering when I eventually order my new 719 will be:
Lowrance HDS8 flush in bow
Lowrance HDS8 flush in console
Lowrance LSS-1 structure scan moduleHDS8 flush in console
NEMA harness with LGC puck install on front bow
Professional Series 4 X 15 amp
Minn Kota Fortrex 101 42" NO US
Bob's Hydraulic JP with LED Gauge and Teleflex lever
Bench seat center section
Oxygen Innivations system/ port and starboard
Extra seat base in cockpit floor
Pro Tech padded deck front
Custom fit landing net with extra long handle
E start emergency start system
Extra large bow step on trailer
Paint on top of Gator Hyde finish on trailer
LED light upgrade on trailer
of course certain options are standard if you order a 721 or 921, but I'm also thinking of ordering the 719 Pro XP, but you never know. I just came out of a 21 footer so I might have a hard time downsizing![]()
Bronco,
Sounds like you are loading it up.
I didn't go quite hogwild but, here are a couple of things I got and glad I did and a couple I didn't and wish I did.
Glad I did:
Oversized Starboard side trailer step
NOCO Charger. It is alot smaller and seems to charge quicker than the
ProCharger
Second Console
Center Seat option
Wish I did:
Hydraulic Jack Plate It would make setup so much easier
Dual Disc brakes
HDS7 @Bow The 5 works but a 7 would have been nice.
Also don't forget an alarm whether you install it or you have Jeff and crew install it. I would suggest the compartment sensors with it too![]()
Tightlines,
Eric

Greg...I would recommend you take a look at the top of the Phoenix board and download the list of Options.
It's easier going off a list to make sure you don't forget anything. You can also mark the items that come standard; and then highlight what you are thinking of adding.
After you've dwindled it down...ask for opinions if you're not sure about an option.
Good luck,
Ernie

I am sure one of us on the board can provide you input and pictures of the options. Get your list and start asking questions.![]()

Maybe they don't on a 719, but maybe on a 921(which has the same console size I assume). I got the list of standard options for the 921, and I thought I seen flush mount HDS8's, but I might be wrong. I have the list at work. I'll double check and update this post. Don't matter anyway, I'll just RAM mount them if they don't fit, or simply put the bracket in the console area like I seen posted somewhere here on the board.
I'm down to only 4 colour combo'sIt's tough to choose, so many great looking combos. I'll be putting a black motor on it although I would love a Yammie SHO, but do to Yamaha Canada, they won't warranty a US bought Yammie

I believe Gator Hyde is now standard on trailers.

So I checked the spec sheet I have on the 921 and it does come standard with HDS8's flush mounted in the console and bow....
So, now my questions is.... are the consoles on the other models the same?
Steve....why do you want the LCG installed on the bow. Most would put it behind the drivers seat to keep it out of the way.
Highly recommend the dual disc brakes. Also, wish I had shocks put on. Didn't know they were an available option at the time I ordered. (reason I posted Options List).

Ernie,
I want a LGC up there to watch movies when the fish aren't bitting![]()
No, seriously, on my Ranger 521 I just sold, I had a flushmount in the console with another unit on a RAM on the side of the console, and a flushmount in the bow with another unit on a RAM up there also. In both cases, I used one unit for sonar readings, and the other for mapping. By putting HDS8's, you simply split the screen to have both on one unit and it's big enough for my old eyes.
Yes, I'll add dual disk brakes, shocks and c-channel frame for the trailer. thx for the suggestions....
I see that post but were exactly do I click to down load that list? Thanks
