I went and I really liked it.
We saw about 78.2 mph instantaneous speed max but it was quite choppy, was doing around 70-75 mph most of the time. The rib hull was very stiff in pitch and ran very flat.
Considering the sea state the ride was a really comfortable, and this was greatly aided by the rather expensive Ullman Dynamics prototype sit-down suspension seats. Turning characteristics took a bit getting used to as it turned very flat with very little side slip (drift), a bit like a cross between a cat and monohull.
It’s good to see a company that’s that not just reproducing regurgitated versions of old designs, and that are willing to stick their neck out and try something new.
I have lost count, but how many ribs out there have been based (or plashed) on old Phantom hulls? Not that there is anything wrong with Phantom hulls
