Phoenix Guy Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 5 weeks ago I ordered myself my first ever brand spankin new boat. I have had a few used boats, but i took the plunge and ordered a new one. It's a 2014 Phoenix 721 PRO XP. I went with the 250 Mercury Pro XS, Fortrex trolling motor, and HDS 8 in the console and the bow. The wait is about to kill me though. I was promised to have it by the end of August, so I guess 8 weeks isn't bad for an ordered boat. OK, DEEP BREATH, just 3 more weeks, I can do it. HAHAHA Quote
Super User slonezp Posted August 13, 2013 Super User Posted August 13, 2013 Sounds sweeeeeeeeeet! Quote
RyneB Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 you are a lucky man. I remember the day I picked up my used 2000 Ranger last year. I couldn't imagine the excitement of a brand new boat. The problem is, I would be so anal I couldn't enjoy it. One little scratch would make me flip out. That's the one thing good about a used, if I see a scratch, I simply tell myself that it was someone else fault. 1 Quote
martintheduck Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 My dream boat is a phoenix. Gonna need an update on how she rides once you break in that motor! Quote
Super User S Hovanec Posted August 13, 2013 Super User Posted August 13, 2013 Dont sweat it, it'll be worth the wait! I know the feeling....It was a long 8-10 weeks when I ordered my Lund back in 2005. Quote
Neebles Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 Im probably the most impatient, need that instant gratification type of guy ever.... I would be going nuts if I was in your position... Its going to be so worth the wait, and the end of the month will come sooner then you think...Congrats, it sounds like a beast of a boat and it will be enjoyed immensely... Quote
Phoenix Guy Posted August 15, 2013 Author Posted August 15, 2013 I will definatly post pics and updates after i pick it up. Also, i can't say enough about pleased i am with my Phoenix dealer, Eberlin Boat & Motor in Herman, MO. They helped me set this boat up exctly how i wanted. And the price was even better! Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted August 16, 2013 Super User Posted August 16, 2013 Sounds like a great boat. Did you get the merc smartcraft guage with it? Quote
Phoenix Guy Posted August 23, 2013 Author Posted August 23, 2013 Yea, im dying. After talking with the dealer, im hoping to have it by the end of next week. Fingers crossed. Quote

RyneB Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 I keep checking back everyday and nothing! For shame! I know, imagine being Nathan though. He's probably at the edge of the cliff. 1 Quote
Super User slonezp Posted September 4, 2013 Super User Posted September 4, 2013 I know, imagine being Nathan though. He's probably at the edge of the cliff. Maybe he never ordered a boat and is just pulling our chain 1 Quote
