how a phoenix
takes flight
he FLW staff knows how to host
a great bass tournament, just
like the folks at Phoenix Boats
know how to build a great bass boat. In
December, the two crews came together
in the Phoenix manufacturing plant in
Winchester, Tenn., to celebrate a new
relationship that made Phoenix Boats
the official bass boat of FLW. As well, the
FLW staff was given the chance to see
every step in the process of building a
Phoenix, from laying in the fiberglass to
joining the hull to the cap (shown here),
wiring up depth finders and installing
the last bit of hardware. It takes a hands-
on, labor-intensive process to perfect
every angler-friendly detail in a Phoenix,
as each one is built to order for the cus-
tomer, but the result is one of the finest
rides on the water.
