Looking at ordering a new rig in January and Phoenix is on my short list...
I have a few questions for the Phoenix owners:
How is the transom reinforced on the Pheonix? I know the Skeeter has structural aircraft aluminum bolted to the transom and stringers, the Ranger has solid composite fiberglass sandwich reinforcements perpindicular to the transom and parallel to the stringers epoxyed/glassed into the hull. The purpose of both of these designs is to disipate load and vibration from the transom to the bottom of the hull/stringers.
Are the open cavities in the hull filled with flotation foam like the Ranger and Bass Cats?
Backwash? Do you get any backwash coming over the transom after rapidly coming off plane?
Thanks for the feedback
