The Phoenix 120

The Phoenix 120 has experienced some major alterations. We’ve eliminated the old integrated foot braces and added adjustable foot rails and braces. We’ve increased the size of the stern tank well, so it will now accommodate a milk crate to be used for fishing gear. We’ve created lots of flat surfaces to which rod holders and fish finders may be mounted. The seat has been lowered to increase the stability, and we’ve added thigh support for greater comfort. Additionally we’ve abandoned the old 5“ Beckson hatch on the bow, and we’ve added a larger 10” round storage hatch in its place. When you add it all up the end result is perhaps the lightest, most versatile Sit On Top on the market.
