    Phoenix handling???

    Just curious, does the phoenix's have much chine walk? I seen another thread mention some, so I was wondering. Is the hulls a pretty quick style? Compared to Tritons...

    As far as handling the Phoenix is second to none!! Running creeks with lots of the turns the phoenix really shines!! Performance is very good as we are seeing around 80 with a mercury or yamaha sho. As far as chine walk the boat is very easy to drive at speed . Come on up anytime you would like a demo ride

    My last rig was a Triton ! Comparing a Phoenix to a Triton is like night and day.
    Phoenix will chine walk at around 75 MPH or mine does BUT way more controllable/easy to correct than a Triton

    I came to Phoenix from the Skeeter Demo Team and will tell you ANY boat can chine walk if not rigged, driven or trimed correctly for the overall conditions.

    If you have a chine issue find a driver/rigger in your area and go for a ride. Learn to drive the boat with minor corrections or set it up to keep yourself away from the possibility of chine walk. If it chines at 75 drive 74! Easy to do, enjoy!
