Which part was more impressive the factory, boat or the filming?

@@GregFisherAngling everything...what really stuck out at vexus was the infusion process.....ua-cam.com/video/pIX7la6FROU/v-deo.htmlsi=52zeloLgSyJNf0nv

@@GregFisherAngling yt keeps editing my comment but the infusion process at vexus looks more high tech.

@@BruceJoiner-r2i so far no issues that I know of or can directly relate

@@ibrahimshamaal3733 Those pumps are great but I do believe draining them removes the most. It’s a little extra work but getting every drop of the old oil out can be helpful

It’s in the water plenty. The noise I was jokingly making reference to was the exhaust on the mercury compared to the exhaust on my old Yamaha.

Thank you for the information. Fortunately I have a different boat now and haven’t had that issue yet.

Dane/Mastiff 😃

Where at?

No they are not all the same. At the time of the video I know the PHX hull was different and maybe one other but not 100% sure on the rest.

For the money of new boat they all could improve on final quality. I am not paid nor have ever been and have always tried to give an honest opinion. There is room to improve for all

If you’re talking about the actual outer piece, the insert you can warm it up and those things will actually stretch

No sir I was referring to my new rub rail on my skeeter was L shape in the back side the one that bolts to the boat and the new one had a flat back and it’s less wide than the original so it doesn’t cover the whole boat gap

I would think that the actual part that attaches to the boat should look the same and have the same width demensions. Possibly not the correct replacement part?

So far i have seen zero interference between the two

Your welcome

The boat is headed to the dealer for some annual service work tomorrow and will be hitting the water when it return in a couple weeks. I hope to have some follow up video's to follow shortly after. Currently I have a Solix 15, Solix 12, Garmin SV106, Mega 360 and the LVS 32 connected and was able to run 10 hrs last fall without recieving a low battery warning.

Right now I have no plans to have the boat in use when the temp is under 32 deg. Currently it is garage kept during inclemet weather.

There is no directional bias to this type of transducer and it will read depth most times with speeds I run up into the the low 70's

Yes maybe so as I am not a professional videographer and do not claim to be. I see by your channel your videos are much better thank you for your input. Keep up the great work your doing fine job.

Most bass boats open that way. Couple used to open out to the sides. Bad deal if it's hinged in the back and you don't get it all the way latched and it blows open at 70mph on the water

BG outdoors is correct most do open that way but some are made to be fully removable for service

You can just disconnect the shock from the lid and it will lay flat for complete access. I personally like the lid opening this way. When you turn on battery power it’s always done while standing outside the boat next to the motor. Hard to do if the lid opens the other way.

When you remove the shocks the door will NOT lay down completely do to the hinges they use. You only gain maybe 2" of travel removing the shocks. Found that out having to fix a leaking livewell fitting. You could always take all of the screws out and the shocks to remove the door but, I thought that would be more work then what you would gain since the door opens past hinges.

They are the same hull design. The 921 is 12” longer than the 920.

They are there and yes hard to see. I dont like being watched either. lol

Hello and thanks for watching. I will try to explain the best I can. The snorkling that I've experienced on this excursion was actually along the coast of Cozumel and I dont really remember a large coral reef. I have a thin beard and alway struggle with water in my mask so I never really get the greatest views therefore love my gopro. We never really strayed far from the coast. My understanding and experience is the coast and beaches have alot of rock along the coast. I would not be surprised if you could find a place somewhere to "self snorkle". To me this was fun as I am not highly experienced in snorkling plus this also includes time at a private beach with water toys and plenty of chairs to relax. Since this excursion I have been to a place called Paradise Beach club which was a great little get away with a pool and beach access. Aside from the boat ride I really enjoy relaxing at the beach club and have seen several people there with their own snorkle gear swiming in the area. Hope this helps.

Yes it is sold

@@GregFisherAngling what boat did you get?

@@travelingman1983 Phoenix 921 Elite

🤣🤣🤣 yes he did!

Joey Eckels you are a great cameraman

ooooooooooooooo

@@GregFisherAngling shut your "oooooooooo"

Check the history of the ship?? Maybe so....

Yeah it's an normal fricking abandoned ship

Ok would you feel better if I called it an abandoned ghost ship? Lol

@@GregFisherAngling nope ;?

Casper’s lost home?

I liked the one box idea a lot. Once I actually picked up my boat I was stunned at how much tackle can fit in the single box. It is huge!

Kenneth thank you for watching the video. You know there are some days that I do feel like I’m in third grade. I’m an adult, paying my own bills, living a good life, but still playing and having fun like a kid. Live life today tomorrow is never guaranteed.

true I like some stickers but how you suppose to see

We left everything on the boat inside of a backpack. There is someone of the crew always on the boat. Might be a little trusting of humans but I have never had any problems. If you want a little extra security you could have some sort of waterproof bag or pack to always keep on you or a lock for a backpack

How's your music Wizard boy? lol

And very ornery !

Thank you!

I’ve heard a lot of good about them and am very anxious to get into mine and experience everything. Not to mention my first tournament is May 13th, time is getting short. Lol

Your welcome and thanks for watching. Im chomping at the bit everyday without a boat. lol I wish Phoenix would send out build updates, that would get us going even more.

If you call them and ask they will send you pics of it during the build. I was told yesterday it was in the process of being painted and glassed, should have some pics next week once it’s out of the mold

@@Haziesonly I guess that will be my first call Monday.

Yes I agree. I do think with the price of boats coming out today manufactureres would be trying to add a extras without increasing the price to gain more of a competative edge. I think the prices are slowly getting out of control. Have you seen the price on the new Ikon bass boat? Extremly loaded model 142K !!!! Unbeleivable

@@GregFisherAngling there great boats I’ve got a 721 with lots of up grades . Never had any problems with it and rides great .

@@johnhelems721 I was very impressed with their process at the factory and speaking with them. I ordered a new 921 elite should be here around May 1st.

@@GregFisherAngling nice

Front padded deck is always an option on phoenix when the dealer orders them. 👍

I cannot compare to other factories but I will say I was impressed as to how clean it was considering the amount of dust that has to be produced during the building process. I also did not see piles of boxes/cardboard laying around from all the parts and electronics they are using on a daily basis.

This was filmed 9/21/22 last fall. My new one should be close to the production line now.

I really think that black and silver one is mine where he was showing about how the top cap is attached. This is really cool to see. Congrats on your new bird!

When I get a little time if you want I can take a couple snapshots from the film for you

@@GregFisherAngling Funny, I ordered mine 2 days after this was filmed.

That’s awesome. I just got word today that mine may be at the dealership as early as next Thursday or Friday I can’t wait.

Thank you! I’m not a filming pro for sure. Glad you liked the video.

Depending on the units I'm not sure you can set up a single unit to use different transducers on different viewing pages. Going into the humminbird network and setup pages I believe you can only pick one source as in one source for 2D, one for DI etc. If you are running dual units at the dash like ii was you can separate. I used one unit for 2D and mapping using the inhull ducer and the other unit was a Mega+ which I used the mega ducer for all 2d/di/msi.

@@GregFisherAngling Well that stinks! The Lowrance I'm looking to replace with humminbird will do it. It's really handy for reading depth at speed, but not necessarily the best 2D displayed. Thanks for replying.

@@adriandavidpayne Hopefully I am understanding what you are wanting to do. I am not a Humminbird guru lol With one unit on the dash you can set it up to use the in hull transducer to read all the 2d whether on the maps or any 2d page and the outer MSI transducer to read DI/MSI. All 2d reading regardless of the view will come from the inner transducer without manually changing settings. This is how I set things up with one unit on the console in the past.

@@GregFisherAngling I guess all I want to do is read the Depth from the in hull transducer while I'm on the map and running. I don't want to use it at all when finding fish on the graph. I would like to use the mega ducer for 2D. And I don't want to have to change it in the menu every time I stop. Does that make sense?

@@adriandavidpayne yes it makes sense. And I guess first of all it would depend on the mounting of the mega ducer. Assuming you are running a bass boat 99% of them are mounted where they are actually out of the water when running on plane. Therefore unable to pick up anything and is the reason for the inhull transducer. If you set up to use the inhull transducer for 2d you will pick up on plane and idle and the Meg will handle the rest when scanning at slow speeds. You will still be able to get good 2d sonar using the inhull ducer at all times for 2d.

Thats great and hope you enjoy. I am headed back in May and will find another filming opportunity.

Sometimes you dont have to aggrevate them, but I do return them to the bed if that helps.

@@GregFisherAngling Thank you very much for doing that; YES, that helps greatly. I grew up fishing with my father since a very early age and have fished THOUSANDS of hours "lazy" fishing (bluegill, crappie, bluecats) and MANY MANY Bass tournaments with him. He would explain to me about the spawning habits and show me what/where and times to look out for them and that I should avoid if at all possible to preserve the future; both ours and theirs.. I do respect you for turning them loose (where caught) and fully understand the feeling of a NICE bass like that one tugging on the line. I honestly didn't mean to come across as a jerk, I just got uptight really quick with my thoughts on this. I've NEVER competed in a tournament during spring time simply because of the sheer amount of large females being drug from their spawning grounds by dozens, or even hundreds of anglers bringing them back for "weighed in" just to watch them die later when released for a few more points on the leader boards or for some prize money.. it's really heartbreaking to see. Thank you.

Honestly I don’t remember but I would guess to say yes I did. I’m usually pretty good at changing O- rings if they come with the kits

Thank you. It is still working great

@@GregFisherAngling Greg how is your generator with your onboard charger. I have a Skeeter 22i with a min kota 4bank. I bought a Honda eu2000i generator. Haven’t tried it yet just bought the generator. I think after reading everything on the internet I’m more confused than ever about compatibility. How does it work for you and how long does it take you to charge? Thanks in advance

@@doycesmith3627 I also have the Min Kota 4 X 15 and it works great. My generator runs for between seven and eight hours on a tank of fuel (1gal) and has yet to not fully charge before the tank is empty

Thank you sir

No I have not. Often thought about but never used

Thank you and I am also waiting for the ice to be gone. I have a couple new toys to try out chasing the smallies.

I've never owned another brand of boat so I cannot say about any others. I would think if there were something better it would be done. Just something I have added to my winter checklist. Although I know with the design of a bass boat and taking a beating at times running big waters it doesn't surprise me things come loose.
