Congrats !
Great boat the 20', we are very happy with our 20', great progress
with testing and has now achieved good speed results !
Will you be racing in the National classes in Sweden (Classic or V-150?)

for that money i still would be very happy with it! the 20 was a faster boat pound for pound. The 20 raced in OCR for years with many lots of happy drivers, namely Bob Baker, the Rendall's, Mick Archer, Ian Stirling, he is Old beardy on this forum, i would say ask him for some info as he did well.

Yes I'am happy with the boat even if It ain't a p21! Havent tried It yeat, started right away with the interior It was realy bad!! a new one is finished this week. Engine Is fixed(seviced) boat havent been in water for 2years so carbs cleaned new sparks and gearhouse oil,started It at home with flush muff and seems to work just fine!!

No This boat Is just for pleasure! No racing.

But a friend of mine just sold a racedeked P21 to Norway a red one cant remember the boat name! I was with him in the Uk! up north some where when he bought it! a real nice boat it was.

Yes! Total fury Thats the one! Real nice phantom, still cant understand why my friend sold the boat. He raced It once or twice in the V150 with a brand new E-tec 150 ho. He say he lost intresst in racing but I dont know.
He's buissnes partner is selling a real nice Ring 21c with brand new 383 v8 stroker engine with xz sterndrive low waterpickup. engine is newer started ans ha's abaout 380 hp.Boat is in realy nice condition, built from beegining with 4.3 l Mercruiser.

Hi Chris, yep this is the one, I will help the new owner who is a good friend of mine this weekend with rigging of that boat,2 liter 150 hp Merc, he wants to give us some competition in the national 150 hp class ! The boat was collected in Sweden the other month. Runned good in Sweden with the E-tec though !
off topic : our own rig (miss Coco)is now running great with your old CLE and Trophy prop !
cheers mate

Hi again drdollar, allthough it is a h.. of a job I would consider the extra work with removing the rubber strip if you're going to do a total makeover, we are very happy with our boat allthough you need some special attention when docking to avoid schratces. Take a look at Temp Insanes Phantom in the Galleries too !!! NIIIIIIIICE !

Hello again drdollar, any progress with your P20 ?
Thought I could send you some pics from when we started our project, for your motivation, half way pretty fed up but more than happy for the finished result, so just get started ! Time flies and suddenly you find yourself cruising in the Swedish Fjords !

Started preparing for a Merc on the P21, it is getting colder every day so we have to hurry !

Best regards Lyder

drdollar · 10-10-2009, 01:42 PM

Thanks for motivation pics! always helpfull with some kicks in the ass

I just got the interior back from upphlstery company! what a diference it makes! real nice...
Last sunday I felt I realy needed to take it out for a last run for this season! It was 8+ celcius and realy windy! no interior just driver seat and so much of fun

Germansaleen · 10-10-2009, 09:35 PM

that was a good deal

,the phantoms are well build and in any condition worth to restore one or put some money into it.

its a blast to ride with lots of fun

post some pics of your interior , i need one to
good luck
michael

drdollar · 13-10-2009, 10:03 AM

For sure It Is a blast to ride! must say It Is the most fun and absolutley the easiest driven boat I ever tried!!
I'am now going to wetsanding the deck like you Michael did on your Streets ahead! when the interior is nice everything else needs some tlc aswell. I will return with pics when It's finished with this winter project.
Only parts I realy need now Is cle gearhouse or mount nose cone with low water pickup! then I could raise engine and found some more knots
