Can you order a new stripped down boat?

[Canman_83]

Curious if you can order a new rig without electronics and trolling motor. Tossing around a new 819 and I have trolling motor and electronics that I could rig myself.

Yep you can order it without a outboard if you want.

Yes you can! Phoenix will build it how you want it.
In some cases you might save money by having Phoenix or your dealer install some things like TM’s. Other things like in hull transducers are much easier to install at the factory. The integrated wiring harness is really nice and made my electronics install pretty easy.
Then some options that you may want. IMO paint over Gator hide is a must. Trick steps is a must for my 65 yr old body.
I saved a ton of money buying and installing my Garmin electronics. The 819 is a super nice ride.

Why on the paint over gatorhide?

The Gator hyde is porous. The trailer will collect dirt over time and look like crap. The paint seals up the Gator hyde and makes it easy to clean and looks much nicer. You also get matching pin stripes in the process.

I recommend as well. My last bird did not have it and it gets dull looking. You can bring back shine with something like the 301 sealant but it gets dull after a month or so.

What's the upgrade cost on this? Not sure if I can add it or not. 4 weeks into my order.

You’re probably too late but you could always call and find out. I think the cost was $400.00.

[Michaelsterling]

Thanks man, I'll call Tuesday. Ended up not using last chance and C&C is closed Monday.

[ifishinxs]

C&C was probably closer for you as well.

As high as everything is I’m just about to the point of getting hacked off and buying whatever I want and decking one out to the max. If you’re going to go down, go down swinging.

$350 last time I asked. I made the mistake of overlooking it on my last order. As stated, regular looks dull/dirty even fresh out of the car wash

[Michaelsterling]

Well maybe this is good and bad but sounds like I'm getting the paint over gatorhyde. On the bad news that means my boat is still a couple weeks away at least I guess. Just passing 6 weeks yesterday.

Ordered my 2021 721 stripped down. No electronics, no TM, no poles. Thru Weidas it is was easy. Phoenix just asked what I was putting in for electronics and added a point 1 and ducer for me. Easy. Saved a ton of money.

If your mechanical/electrical savvy and want to save money “This is the way”
