Some lunatic painted it silver, and the last I heard was that it's in Scotland.

[chris]

cheers tony ,what a shame, would still be good to see some current pics of it.

[Jon Fuller]

TD has some pics of it after some sort of collision, mebbe RTA, looks pretty sad, and that was 15 years ago, it also got dropped by a crane driver somewhere along the line.

[chris]

ouch wonder what its like now? what power?

[Jon Fuller]

dunno, originally had triple V6 175's

[chris]

nice did it do round britain?

[Jon Fuller]

Yeah, twoz the very first race deck 28, built alongside OCL Suzuki for the '84 round britain.
First hull out the 28 mould was Mike Bellamy's cruiser deck version (nicknamed the 'blue whale' by the phantom staff due to it's less than streamlined appearance usually associated with the marque)

[Jon Fuller]

Jan, Pete and Steve in the '84 round Britain.

[chris]

that is a fantastic shot !,got any more?which seat was steve in,i remember borrowing a video from steve many years back it was a short film on phantom boats showed an old silver 23 phantom and a short clip of the 28 im sure its this one in some big seas, showed steves father on the farm etc ,could u ask steve if hes still got it?

[Captain Chaos]

That would be so fantastic to see. Wonderfull pic Jon.

[Jon Fuller]

I have to confess that this particular pic came from www.fastboat.info (hope they don't mind!) I'll ask Steve about vid when I next speak to him.

[LorenZo]

There is a film somewhere on the 1984 Round Britain.

For this race a third seat was added.
Steve was the driver. Peter alongside. Jan in the back.

Have some photos spmewhere.

[Jon Fuller]

Nice avatar Loz!
We've got Miranda here at the mo, she arrived today with my luuuuuvly U.S. S/S tow hitch and two Aronow books, 'speed kills', and 'Blue Thunder'.

The hitch pin lock is made by Smith & Wesson!...go ahead punk, make my day!
Talking 'Florida turkey' with her has prompted me to book my flights to Miami for the boatshow in Feb :banana: going on the 15th!

My bootie:

I was gonna check, but assumed Steve was driving in this pic by his unmistakable beard!

Will do some research on the vid, would be nice memorabillia for me being the 'roots' of my boat.

[LorenZo]

You need the Cutler bumper sticker for that weapon.
Don't like my driving then call 1-800-BIGHT-ME

Say Hi to Miranda from the Bellarmo's

Have read the Blue Thunder conspiriacy theory Nice Book. I recon the Grassy Knowl and the magic bullet theory are in there some where.

[chris]

the video im on about i think was a kind of small local documentry on phantom, starts of with drawings of boats and steve, then his father at the family farm talking about the passion for a different type of boat then a shot of a silver grey early 23 phantom ,then a short clip of the 28 red brut going round britain etc going hard at a head sea around a point somewhere, brill clip i borrowed steves tape around about 92 or 93 when picking up a 21 phantom

[Carl]

the round britain vid/documentry is called the power and the glory,i think i still have it in my archives somewhere

[jw.]

think i still have it in my archives somewhere ..


Carly, I think you may be in demand shortly. :)

[Carl]

[chris]

[Captain Chaos]

Both please ASAP!!!!

Watching videos keeps me off the streets!

[Tony Davis]

5.51pm, that was a quick trip to the show!

[Captain Chaos]

Tony......I was Ace's gaff in Gunwharf Keys....I hadnt made it home yet.

.....have to be honest, I thought it was pretty shit! Hardly worth the 4.5hr round trip!

Shame I was driving, otherwise i reckon there would have some fat guy in a cape lying in his own vom outside the guiness section come 5pm this evening!

I thought mercury and bombardiers efforts were pathetic! Didnt even get to browse over a 225 HO!

didnt manage to make it off the soafa then?, shame I had to eat your pie as well;p;

[Carl]

sorry guys i had a look last night but its gone,thinking about it there have far too many x fiancees and x wife to even imagine it would still be there................wishfull thinking i guess..............................if anyone knows of any really good search engines,the programme was def called ..the power and the glory and the presenter i think was good old fred dineage:cheers:

[Captain Chaos]

try going to download.com and installing "Coppernic"

[Jon Fuller]

Spoke with Gordon McMath today, he thinks he has a copy of 'The Power and the Glory', he's gonna check.

[chris]

cool

[Louise]

Hey Jon, how about resurrecting the idea of a video night? We could watch Cannonball Run and The Power & the Glory (if you can source a copy). Anyone interested?

[Captain Chaos]

whos getting the popcorn?

[Jon Fuller]

What a fine idea! I've got loads of powerboat vids, enough to bore the pants off any girl ...oooh eer!

mebbe we need a new thread, and we could through it what type of vids are the most popular (no porn Cap'n)

[Captain Chaos]

who's been telling on me? or do all your gizmos & hi-tek software allow you to see that I surf Boatmad & Bent & Oiled at the same time?

New thread...thumbs up:)
