I am really considering switching from Ranger to Phoenix. I know a 225 on a 719 would be very economical as my 225 opti I have now is great but I was wondering what kind of speeds you guys are getting out of both models. Is the 719 any slower than the 721 with a 250
Thanks
I wouldn't under power any boat. Buy the Phoenix with the 250hp on it.

Goin Fishing be home for Hunting Season !!!!!!!!!
At a Sports show in Marion, IL last week, one of the local guys showed me a pic of his 721 w/250 Pro XS....80.2... said he had a MG 109 36v tm on it. Will take a close look at his rig when I get a chance.
Thanks for the posts. It looks like the bigger the better with a bird
The top speed difference is not consistent with all boats depending on weight of your stuff, tm selection, batteries, second console etc..etc...
The speeds are close enough not to be a selection factor. I would look at other things such as price difference and your budget, towing issues, size boat differences, size waters that you fish, etc..etc.. I fished SoCal waters for many years out of a tracker and think the 719 is more than adequate for those waters. However if you are a big guy and fish with others you may want the little extra room of the 721.
I have a fairly heavy 721/250 SHO and can barely do 74-75 and I am slightly over propped with a 27 with big heavy batteries (4 PM1's).
Both rigs are great! Good Luck with your decision.
I run a 2011 721xp 250 xs..... I have a lead foot. With 4 deka 31 batteries and full tourney load I can run a smooth 73.7. Keep in mind the atlas jack plate makes all the difference.
