2012 Phoenix 921 Proxp For Sale

[jmes]

My boss and I just had a similar conversation about this subject just a couple days ago. he was saying that he couldn't understand how somebody could spend a large amount of money on a Bass Boat like I did. ( I bought a SX 21 Skeeter with a 250 SHO ) . just to go fishing in. All thou i don't spend as much time as Mr Babler or other guides but I do average about 150 plus days a year fishing. So I asked him how much he spent for he's Wake boat and it was around $ 135,000

and he uses it about 8 to 10 times a year. After we got done comparing notes on useage he understood alittle more. Bascally it whatever you want to use and can afford. I still have my first boat it's a 12 foot Jon boat and I still use it to this day for a little river fishing

Nice rig. If I fished for a living I would have one also.

nothing against you Bill, but 48K for a "used" boat. I know it is your "office", and hope you break even when you sell it. But come on guys. Bill's boat is typical of the Elite's pros boats, without the Power Poles. Add another 4K for those installed. And they win $100,000 if they get lucky. 99 other guys don't win near that much. Add in a $50,000 truck/SUV to pull it. So be it I guess, but I won't.

Jerry,

What is your deal with calling people out on items that they have listed for sale? This is now at least the 3rd post that I have seen where you are basically calling people out on asking prices or even suggesting people buy from other sources that are cheaper elsewhere than what the person trying to sell here had for sale in the buy/sell/trade forum on OAFF. I think it is in bad form and you need to mind your own business. You don't like the asking price or item...... fine. No biggy as that is your right. But to keep questioning people about the price they are asking or hindering a potential sale or kill someones interest is BS.

Book it out. He is only asking LOW RETAIL on this rig. Average retail is $54,000 and I'm quite sure this boat is well above average.

Easy to sit on the sidelines, be bitter and throw rocks.

How many bedrooms does that thing have?

My first house was $48,000, had 5 bedrooms and a 40 X 20 in-ground pool!

Although, when this boat is on the Rock, it has a 43,000 acre pool!

Thank all of you. Yes, I don't set the price on new boats. As I stated my Banker gave me the loan value with all the equipment the boat features and told me he would be happy to make any loan on the boat with AC.

This boat is really pristine. It is what it is. Don't want to get into a debate about buying quality equipment over something else or something cheaper as there is always something worth less for cheaper money.

My stepdad and I loved him dearly never had a good piece of anything his entire life. Whatever he had he had just duck taped together. Even when I was a kid guiding and working out of my mothers resort, my equipment was better than my stepdads or any of the other two guides. I kept it clean, bought the best that my limited budget could afford and it showed. We had clients that would go with me when the older other guides including my dad would usually catch more fish. Every lady would fish with me. My boat was spotless and not stinking of crappie, minnows and cluttered. I did not have to dunk my reels in the water to make them work and I for sure never tolerated broken fishing line.

I hate to fix things. I learned from my elders that fixed everything that if I would buy quality I would not have to constantly repair or jury rig stuff like they did on a constant basis.

My stepdad before he died told me he had been wrong thinking, but grew up that way. He said I had more than convinced him that better equipment was better. He just could not do it that way. He told me to never change, and I have not. I use the absolute best that I can afford and we all know that really is what I deem is the best there is.

This boat is a progression of advanced quality. I didn't start here but an now here. The trailer on my current Phoenix cost more than my first boat. Of course now its not a trailer, it is a HWY Transportation System, consisting of brakes that are bigger than those that used to be on 18 wheelers, Electric Breaking, Complete Armor Coating, No Paint, Stainless Steel LED lighting and of course the Vault System. Prusurized Oil bath hubs that the fluid change viscosity during temperature changes.

The Electronics and Electrical system on this boat cost more than the brand new 1979 Chevy Blazer that Becky and I bought as our first truck. It was a completely loaded 4X4 We paid $5,595.00 for that truck. 8 grand in just electric on this 2012 Phoenix.

We have a couple staying here at the Lodge. They are early 30's. She is a Bio-Chemical-Engineer PHD. He has a custom build Machine Shop. He keeps showing me pictures of cars he is turning out. He said most are easy 150 Large and UP. He has worked on the discovery channel Street Racers. Said most of those rigs are pushing 2 Large What I'm saying is money is only money, it is what you enjoy to do with the money you have earned and are earning. If you want a car great. If its a Bass Boat really great.

It's your own business how much or little you chose to spend.

Good Luck

Git, Becky has suddenly gotten great interest in building an in ground pool here at the Lodge. Just about that size. She had it specked out with a nice stamped patio around it for tables and a changing room. Only came to just under $90,000.00.

If your on taneycomo in the restricted zone look at the patio of the red ranch style home. The outdoor patio is 110' with a 10'X20' endless wave pool, a 8'x8' 8 person hydro spa. a complete outdoor kitchen and a fantastic enclosed wall with a stamped concrete floor. Was visiting with the owner one day and he said he had about $250,000.00 in the patio, not counting furniture.

Again, if you leave it to the kids they will spend it.

Good Luck

Phoenix Regional Rep is back from Vacation and seen the post. He has awarded me some additional compensation on my team representation and we are now able to offer the Phoenix 921 pictured at $45,595.00 this is pretty firm and it makes the boat come in at extremely low retail and right at wholesale.

You will not find a nicer better cared for 2012, 22' boat in that price range. Hope this might help someone make a decision on this fine boat.

Thanks for helping Greg.
