    The Trigger Has Been Pulled!

    After months of research, IM's to Bird owners and a trip to the Phoenix factory I finally ordered my 721. I expect my wait to be 12 to 16 weeks minimum. Hopefully Yamaha will be able to ramp back up on SHO production. Thanks to everyone for their help and emails.
    She is gonna be loaded up! The only option I am still thinking about is a 10" Atlas plate.

    Re: The Trigger Has Been Pulled! (edowell)

    Only option you are considering is a 10" Atlas JP? and not Power Poles!
    Get the 10" Atlas Hyd. JP w/gauge or you will be upgrading later, just ask Jerry (alabamaphoenix).
    Other than that you will be very pleased with your rig after all the research you put in before deciding.
    Oh and congratulations on the new rig

    Congrats. You'll be very happy I'd wager. Of that I have little doubt!

    Re: The Trigger Has Been Pulled! (KYKTB)

    My 721/ 250 SHO will have the following options
    removable console
    padded deck
    MG Tour 109
    HB 1198 @ console
    NOCO 4 bank charger
    stb rog organizer
    extra bilge pump
    Channel trailer
    Gatorhyde
    extra large bow step

    *** Possibly might add a 10" Atlas plate w/ gauge and trim on wheel
    Colors will be almost identical to Eric's except my logo insert will be black gel.
    The wait will be long and painful but thankfully I still have my Triton paid for and in the garage. It will not go up for sale until the Bird is delivered. I refuse to be boatless bank trash.

    Totally agree, I would die if I got rid of my boat before my 619 arrives!!!

    I may be bias but, I think it is the best color combo out there!

    Well I added a few more options to my order. a 10" Atlas plate with gauge and duel teleflex trim on wheel, Hamby's light keelguard, trailer shocks and a extra set of rod buckles on the front deck. It's gonna be a sweet ride fo SHO!
