Phantom 18 on B&O
Can anyone tell me the likely year of manufacture of this Phantom and the approximate age of the Mercury on it?
Many thanks

Lyme Regis ain't that far for you mate.
I'd say it's worth a visit.
Have a look on the R/H side of the transom for the HIN.
You find out on here what year it is.

Stripes on motor (Silver & red) suggest about '87 and it's a clam shell model.

Boat is mid 80s & engine 87 / 88.
Red gelcoat has faded & hull condition average.
Believe Burt has done some work on it this season.

Red gelcoat + sun equals fade.
