Cheers, just gotta drag the money together to upholster 2 seats and side panels then it's ready to go!!
Anyone interested in this spectacular safe, speedy, practical, cheap-to-run family craft?

Back on track with this now, was gonna finish up and sell now the season is here but then realised the rush and money which would be involved in getting a p21 on the water. So gonna still have the Phantom but do it ver a longer period of time and have some fun in this this year!
Now I'm using it I'm doing a lot more work than was originally planned, ripped up carpet today and found an interesting sight underneath so am gonna glass in a new floor section, build new back seats, all upholstery to be re-done and build new trailer.
Will run with the Merc 50 for a bit whilst keeping an eye out for something in the 60-70hp range, preferably with PTT.
Luckily I happen to have 2 weeks off now and my 16th next saturday which gives lots of time and the oppurtunity to get some parts in!
Will post some pics later of what I've done today.

Will take some up-to-date pics tomorrow,
got a short vid of engine running on phone but can't put it on here cos it's an old phone.
Doubt it would interest many though as it's a sensible 50hp merc!
