1998 Phoenix 32 Tournament

Step aboard and you’ll feel how this 32-footer punches above its weight. The Phoenix hull has a reputation for a dry, confident ride when the chop stacks up, and the wide beam gives you a steady platform whether you’re trolling, chunking, or bottom fishing. High gunwales and a deep cockpit keep the crew secure when it gets sporty, while the bridge offers excellent sightlines to your spread and the bar. Below, the layout is smart and practical: plenty of storage for gear and provisions, good headroom for a boat this size, and finishes that favor durability over fuss. It’s the kind of rig you can hose down after a hard day offshore and be ready to roll again at first light.

This Phoenix 32 Tournament is especially well-suited for the local mix of shallow approaches, bumpy inlets, and longer offshore runs to the canyons and wrecks. The hull design shines when afternoon winds kick up, letting you run home without having to throttle back to a crawl. Its size makes it manageable in tighter marinas while still offering the range and comfort for overnight trips on the grounds. The efficient diesels keep fuel burn reasonable on those longer runs, and the generous cockpit space is ideal for spreader bars, chunking setups, or a full trolling crew. It’s a capable, no-nonsense platform tailored to the kind of fishing this region is known for.
