Taz's Phantom 28

[Taz]

Cant you list all 15 jon?

[Jon Fuller]

As per Steves wishes, I have removed, or simplified some of the information within the brackets.

"Hello Jon,
I have, at last, managed to establish the number of 28 hulls we produced.
Some of the detail is hazy ( dates for example ) but I think it’s O.K. as far as the total number is concerned. The order is probably correct but I cannot guarantee it.

So we have:-

1. 1983 ? Blue/white Cruiser deck
2. OCL Suzuki ( I’m pretty sure we built this before Brut )
3. Red/white ( first BRUT )
4. 1986 Black boat (spain)
5. 1988 Yellow BRUT ( reasonably light construction )
6. ? All red boat (spain)
7. 1990 White + red/grey stripes ( Peter and Jan’s cruiser )
8. 1990 All Oxford blue boat (UK dealer)
9. 1992 All white bare boat ( Malta ? )
10. 1993 White + red/grey stripes ( U.K. dealer - Triple Yams )
1994 ( Deck mould up-date May ‘94 )
11. 1994 White +? ( Portugal )
12. 1994 White + blue ( Greece )
13. 1994 White + ? ( Greece )
14. 1995/6 White + black deflector ( Roger’s )
15. 1999 White + yellow ( Jon )

I might be able to fill in a little more detail, but this would entail going through all of the job sheets individually.
During my searching for numbers/dates I came across the build spec. for your boat. I shall scan it and let you have a copy.
By the way, if you wished to make the above list universally available, as it were, I think it would be preferable to omit the ‘bracketed details’.
Kind regards
Steve"

Jon,

As this is important information, would it not be an idea to split it from this thread which was not Phantom related.

Anyone know what weight and top speeds the Phantoms puuled that done RB in 84

[Jon Fuller]

BRUT did high 60's (I think Steve told me 68mph) with triple 175 mercs (150hp in todays money)

As for weight, I'd guess at around 2000 kilos.

OCL Suzuki had triple 4 cyl 140 Suzukis, dunno how quick it went.
