Any former Bullet Boys now in a Phoenix??
I'm not looking to cause any waves at all. I know the Bullet is gonna be faster, just want to hear from anyone who has run both and knows them in an out.
Thanks guys.

Not me, but your question made me consider some things. Bullets are super fine boats. Especially if you want a effecient and fast bassboat. They certainly fill a niche in the bass market.
Comparing these two boats is really hard in my opinion. IMO Bullets are a very BARE Bones boat. You are paying for performace (ride, speed, effeciency) as well as build quality. One thing though is you will end up spending hundreds if not thousands of $$$ to "Bling" them with features (fishing and rigging) that a boat such as a Phoenix comes standard with. Their rod and tackle storage while ample, just doesn't have the neat little features, so many times you end up adding aftermarket stuff. That is fine if you are into customizing your rig and spending the time and effort doing so.
This is by NO means a "bash" of Bullet boats, just something that popped into my mind when I read your thread.
You know who can answer this is Marty Adair (sorry if I screwed your name up Marty) He knows Bullets and Phoenix better than anyone![]()
Good Luck![]()
I used to listen to a band in the 80's called the "Bullet Boys". Total hair band, used to crack me up to look at em'.![]()

Yes I have been talking with Marty Adair @ Rothwell....lol...funny you say that. He has given me some good insite for sure.
I own a 21ft Bullet. My partner owns a 719 Phoenix and i've fished out of the 721 a bunch as well. IM me if you have an specific questions. I'll be as unbiased as anyone with you. I love my Bullet, but also love the fishability that Phoenix offers.
I'd be glad to offer you my opinion.
Nightbasser is another person you need to speak to. He had a 20XD Bullet and sells Phoenix. He can give you the scoop. He'd also be my choice as a dealer to buy from. I know him personally and he's the kinda guy i want to deal with. Not that others aren't, i just know Jr. I'm sure the other Phoenix dealers are great as well, i just happen to know Jr (Nightbasser).
