What are you going to do with it? - Race it? Then it would have to be offshore and no-one is racing Phantoms - Which Phantom would you use instead of the Backdraft and what would its top speed be?

I would go for the Backdraft - probably unless you were going to gamble on every race being rough - but then they don't race if it's really rough!

[phantomc92]

basic races for now and playing at the weekend,it gives me a choice to do both and be a little more competitive and poss do nationals in the future

Backdraft then - if you can manage with just 2 seats!

[phantomc92]

2 seats.....................thats what i have got to get my head round

Carlos,

dont know if you recall our conversation, but you seemed dead-keen on that backdraft. Dont do a 'me' and feck about..... get what you want and when your going out for a days pleasure, limit your crew to a maximum size of 3ft 6 and 6 stone....that way you can still take 2!

:well:

If you're gonna go racing it's gotta be the backdraft, but remember they are desperately impractical for anything else.

Even simple things like mooring them up nicely is a nightmare coz of the wings.
