Phantom 18 weight?

[Hydrostream]

Well the title says it all realy! Anybody know, bareboat no rigging?
Thanks, Alan

[Hydrostream]

Nobody have an idea even!

Jonny could probably find out, but since we're all about to disappear off to Miami for a week, I hope you're not in a hurry..........

It all depends on the lay-up specified at the time of the build.
But as a general guide 380Kg is a ball-park figure.

Matt: no, not in a hurry. I was more surprised that nobody here knew.

Wayne: ball-park is plenty good enough, thanks

They are a little lighter than I thought they'd be!

Thanks dudes

That's more than a (Baker built) P21

[roofer]

im sure clive said mine weighed less than 300 kg, mine has a balsa core .

[Hydrostream]

Roofer, is that with or without interior, seats, pannels etc. No rigging?

That is damn light!

Yeah, when I get back from the States I'll check, but I would think definitely sub 300 Kilos.
A stock P21 is not much over 300 Kilos, and it's quite a bit bigger than a P18 all round.

Steve sent me some numbers recently, and a std P21, fully rigged with a V6 Yamaha 225, upholstery, tank, battery etc, completely turnkey, was 730 Kilos

Dude if you fitted a car battery instead it would be a whole sh*t load lighter.

[roofer]

hydro thats fully rigged less engine and fuel tank, theres no floor or panels in my boat .

Hydro, I spoke with Clive before I replied, he gave me the 380 figure, maybe he ment 280 dunno. It was dinner time & I could hear Corri St in his background! Maybe he's a fan, I hope not!
Just out of intrest (or maybe not) I previously had a P16 which weighed in at 550Kg, that's fully fitted out & ready to go with 2ltr Merc PLUS trailor!

Hydro, just had another word with CJ.
He said "The 18 probably does weigh more than a Baker Built P21, but lightness is not always the way to go".
He can build them light, he can build them strong, the build materials denotes the price.
There was a case, three or four years ago in an OCR race at Southend where an 18 missed a turn and went straight through a fishing boat that was at anchor 20M offshore.
Needless to say the fishing boat was turned into matchwood, the P18 sustained a few scratches.
I'll ask CJ what the build of that one was & get back to you.

That was a 19 with Min all up weight of 600kg a good bare boat would be around 300kg

[Phantom 19]

That 19 is a lightweight build, It is still going strong now it has been repaired properly unlike the complete mess that was made of the original repairs.
