Slam latches are convenient but not good in rough water. The lids will pop up if there is any play. The back lid came up on my 920elite in rough water. The pistons kept the lid up and my rider couldn't push it down from his seat. When I slowed down, 50 gallons of water washed in on my batteries. Luckily, I replaced one of the small bilge pumps that came with the boat with a huge saltwater bilge pump 3x the size. I hope someone sees this post from pheonix. Years ago, I wrote to put silicone behind the rub rail and to use bolts instead of pop rivets and someone listened. P.s. I replaces the small lid catch with the larger one. There is still a lot of play. It will pop open again. Perhaps a metal strike bolted to the fiberglass that has a lot of different mounting holes for the latch catch could stop this. As it is, the holes drilled into the fiberglass for the latch catch are just too high up. The lid doesn't seal. It jiggles when closed.
I jealous 😅 absolutely beautiful boat . One thing is for sure you have the equipment to fish well this . Tight lines Randall !
Super fine boat , I love it !
Sharp looking rig Randall! Love the wrap!
Love it....nice and simple. You don't have 23 graphs on your boat...nice to see.
Cool wrap!
Pheonix bass boats are the best bass boats made. Ive road in every boat out there and theres no better ride in any condition

What do you have 300 lbs of batteries? , Jack plate, power poles , charger , pump live well . That’s allot of weight back there !
Theres been that much weight in the back of bass boats for 15 + years now
@ 98 percent of professional anglers use lithium. Yamaha anglers use agm for cranking only .
Phoenix runs better with a heavy back in. Lightening them up with lithium will slow them down.
ARK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who is tired of new boat video's, 99 percent of us that fish will never afford a new boat
