New Boat - 2016 Phoenix 819 Pro w/Mercury 200 Pro XS

With the sale of my Ranger a few months before, I had been boatless and working a deal with my sponsor Germaine Marine. After a few trips and working back and forth I am now running a new 2016 Phoenix 819 Pro with a 200 Mercury Pro XS. I was a little uncertain of going with a smaller boat and smaller motor but I am extremely happy with the decision already. This boat truly is something else! It weighs less, so I get better gas mileage towing, it is a rocket out of the hole, and the handling and maneuverability is unmatched. I loved my Rangers in the past but I love the performance of this boat so much more. It gets a ton of attention on the water and the ride is incredible. The boat is already a beast and once I get it all dialed in, it will be even better. Thank you to the guys at Germaine Marine and Mercury Marine for all the help, I am loving it.
