I just wanted to congratulate Steve Williams on having bought the first Phoenix ever in the state of Maine. What great looking rigs they are aswell, cant wait too see it run and go! Good Luck with your new rig!

Steve got himself a great looking boat. Trust me when I say it will go!! Is Steve a member here?
Yes he is Josh. He is a great fellah and we are going to get out someday, him and I, and I am going to show him a few pointers at driving it.

He will probably need it knowing what he had before this boat! I test run his boat before it was delivered, itÂs a sweet ride for sure!
It also must have good karma, I caught a 3.5 pound fish on the third or fourth cast out of it!
What should it run for speeds josh? Just curious because maybe someday this weekend me and him will go out and I can get it dialed it.

Make sure to put a few hours on the engine before letting it rip. I would say that boat should do 70-74.
70-74 I think those numbers are quite exagerated. More like 66-68.

congrats on the boat!!!!
that is my next boat for sure thought I'd b one of the first around here but guess not!!
enjoy it!!

70-74 sounds right. I have a 719 with a 225 etech. It has gotten to 73 with just me,no livewells, 1/2 tank of gas. Thats running a 26 raker, I'm going to try a 24 to see if it performs better.
A 24 Raker will defiantly help you out on RPM. 26 is too much for that boat/motor combo.
Here is a picture of the 719 225 HO Etec combo I sold Steve (hope you dont mind)
He bought it from us here in NC and we agreed to deliver it to him in Maine.
