Definately check out a Phoenix. I run a 619 Pro with a 200 Merc Pro XS and absolutely love it! I decked it out with Humminbird 998c / 958c Foretrex 101, Power pole, upgraded everything, tandem trailer and still got it for ALOT less than i could get the BC Sabre FTD with the same options, plus its 19'8". I ran a Stratos all last year, not a bad boat either, handled well, but I can't say enough for Mark and the guys at Phoenix, the customer service is nothing short of awesome! Ride, handling, fishability, you can tell fishermen designed this boat! Good luck!
