    921 drawbacks

    I spent half a day or so in the alabamaphoenix 921, and I must say there are a few drawbacks to owning this particular model.

    First, despite having arms as long as an orangutan, I found it awfully hard to reach the rear compartment behind my running seat. Problem? Back deck is too big. Speaking of too big, in order to verbally communicate effectively, I really had to strain my vocal cords due to the vast distance between us. Next time, I'll remember to bring a megaphone. I'm pretty sure one will fit in that compartment I couldn't reach, along with my rain suit, mask and tackle.

    Even though I am rather enormous, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't shake the boat hard enough to cause Jerry to lose his balance and fall overboard, granting me extra fishing time in hopes of gaining a lead in the fish count. This leads me to the next disappointment: what has continually held true in my 618, does not hold true in the 921. I was outfished from the FRONT of the boat, rather than the back. And to think, I really had high hopes for this trip...

    Seriously though, it's an AWESOME bird! I was granted the privilege of driving this rig, and WOW! It immediately hops up on plane with very little bow lift and drives/handles like a dream. The water was smooth today, but it absolutely ate up big boat wakes. I am more than impressed!

    Hey, you caught big fish, a 4 1/4 lb Spotted bass. Well, if you don't count that 10 lb Catfish that I caught.

    When I saw the title of this thread I knew it was going to be tongue-in-cheek. Even still, I laughed out loud several times.

    Well played, sir. Well played, indeed.

    Oh, I thought there was an understanding that the catfish didn't count, because it didn't make it IN the boat.

    Now if you had wanted your carpet christened with slime, you would have won big fish for the day!
