Hey all I finally have some pics of my new ride.  Ya I sold my Stratos to Ron Taylor and got into a Bee-Line by Phoenix Boats.  www.phoenixbassboats.com - So far I love the ride and boat. I am less then happy with the Mercury Pro-XS 250hp but still have high hopes for it after the break in period.  Seems that due to double oiling during the break in period is fouling out my plugs and sometimes missing trying to get out of the hole.  But top end she is running around 74-75 mph.  72 with 2 peeps and full tournament load.


The color is Midnight Blue and Sand.

The boat itself is great.  The ride is smooth and comfortable. Handles pretty good in rough water and fishes very well out of rough water.  The storage is unbelievable - tons of it. I put in all my stuff and had tons of storage left over. I thought I had lost some tacke there was so much open space.

Probably the most asked question is why Phoenix - Beeline.  I chose them after getting an invite and personal tour of Phoenix boats by President Gary Clouse.  He is committed to customer service and producting a quality boat at a competitive price. Also was the marine dealership.  I ran the boat through Gilliams Marine in Tullahoma, TN.  Sarah, Darryl and staff has been great helping me out with my boat and working through the break in period. I can call them any time and they will work with you on the dead line you need. They are committed to excellence through customer service.  My last purchase of a Stratos left a bad taste in my mouth from the dealership via customer service so that was extreemly important to me on this purchase.



I believe this is going to be the start of a long and great relationship with Phoenix Bass Boats and Gilliams Marine.
Who knows if things go right I will be in a new branded Phoenix Bass Boat.  Keep you eyes open for updated news and pics of the Phoenix!

If you are in the market for a new boat give Gilliams Marine a call, ask for Sarah 931-461-3230 or go to www.phoenixbassboats.com

Tight Lines,
Billy
