Has anyone seen these boats in person? Looks like an interesting boat with some neat features. I particularly like the lazy susan tackle box holder. The net holder looks good as well. Will have to see some reviews on how they fish. http://www.phoenixbassboats.com/721overhead.html# My bass club webpage http://texbass.8m.com/

Interesting looking boats. I remember Rick Carter telling me that they were coming out -- Bee Lilne -- and it was the same design as a previously popular bass boat years past. It looks like it has a lot of storage but the lids are small which may make it harder to get stuff out -- especially in tournament situations. It is missing some of the things that I feel truly differentiate the Skeeter ZX or iClass from the rest of the pack -- turned down hull on the sides in the front to re-direct the splash downward (don't know the name for this), chine pads which eliminate chine walking and litterally bite into the water for high speed turning, and the rear sponsons which provide great lift to the back of the boat not only when coming off pad, getting on plane, but also while fishing. I would be interested to hear what you find out about the boat. My understanding is that the company building the boat is not new to the bass boat industry so it very well may be a great boat.  Thank you Lord for my family and the waters I get to fish

I new this would draw a SKEETER promotion.  I'm not looking to buy yet but I like seeing what new ideas the boat companies come out with. I was just curious if anyone had seem them in person. I'm sure it will take a few years to build a reputation(good or bad). Chuck a, did they have any pricing on the ones at the boat show. I was curious what range they are going to fall in for a near 21' boat. My bass club webpage http://texbass.8m.com/

I cannot remember exactly, but I do remember thinking the pricing was less than that of other boats of the same length and Horse power rating. I can't speak for the quality of the boats, but they looked really nice and were laid out very well with lots of storage. Chuck GIG'EM AGGIES | ||||||||||||

Dont get me started on Skeeters (let me guess skeeters have no wood in them?) and thier issues... and Terry is correct... Charger is probably with Basscat as the best built boat on the market.. I like alot of the features on the phoenix boats... how they are built will be the test... | ||||||||||||

because thats the only way to ride in a Skeeter.. I think they should throw 2 rain suits in with every boat sale.... True Story here.... last year on the Weekend series event on Chambers I drew this a guy named Wade... Wade asked me if I brought a rain suit... I said that it wasnt suppose to rain... he said no but I drive a Skeeter... and thats coming from a Skeeter owner... that boat was a ZX225, I have never been in a Iboat so I cant really comment on the ride they have...

I know quite a bit about the Pheonix Boats. When I left Pro-Craft, I almost jumped on board with them. Until my Skeeter deal came along. All in all, it is basically a Stratos with a few tweeks. All the head guys and gal at Pheonix are all former employees of Staratos and Genmar. My personal opinion is, fast boat, but looks cheaply built. Your motor option depends on your dealer you buy from. Binders Marine World was carring them when I left them. But I have heard they went out of business.

I have a boat "dealer" five miles from my house that sells the B Line boats. They only have one new boat for sale and it is a B line 20 footer. I have never stopped to look at it though, but from the road it is a good lookin boat |
