Thought it would be nice to have the dealers post information on themselves, there location and there honest feelings on the new boat for the persons looking at purchasing or wanting to feel and touch a Phoenix.

I am Alan with Sundown Marine in Glenpool, OK and have been invited to the plant for a test run and/or purchase of the new boat.

Dealer for 22 years and have runs boats for 33 years and drag raced outboard powered for 10. What FUN that was!

Thoughts on the Phoenix:

My first was that I did not like the graphics but would like to see them in another color. They can keep the teeth or stripe on the keel and also the flames in the back which is easy to hide according to Hank at the plant.

I would like to see graphics similar to the lines on the front of the console which represents the wings of the Phoenix bird. 2 or 3 stripes beginning at the front down low and sweeping up toward the back as the stripes get wider. This would represent Phoenix wing.

I really like the console. would rather see the nice stainless toggles instead of the rockers.

The center compartment looks great and well organized.

As for the rest of it I'll need to see it and drive it before I pass judgment on it.

Looking forward to meeting the dealers and working with them to get the customer in the boat combination they are looking for when they want one now without having to order.
