I kinda like the plain white, against the red interior it looks pretty stylish. Have you considered leaving it as is?

Looks awsome Captain, I want a new one now! You have got to bring it down to Burnham or Southend mate for some speed trails would be great to see three phantoms out together for a cruise. BTW I like "Chaos Theory" finally why put loads of stickers on it whens its nice and new save the stickers for the scratches!
What HP is it what top speed do you expect it to do? Taz leaves me for dust now hes sorted his boat out! I only managed 64mph on Sunday he was in the mid 70s!
Look forward to seeing her on the essex coast line, tides are good this weekend!

Looks to be pumping water properly? we both have 225 promax and I wonder if we have the same problem. Mine doesnt apear to be pumping water properly. at idle it comes out of the back like a spit spit spit rather than a constant stream. Is this the same as what your getting?

wont be the impeller then. more likely you have a bad seal/leak in a line thats pissing when the pressure gets up.

Chaos,I looked at the 225x service bulletins none about loss of water pressure at higher revs,did you notice it while you was planeing or while you was revving it in nutral,the engine may possible be 2 high but judging on the pics i think its getting plenty of water.What psi did you have while running? at say 3000 revs?
If you want tell me the serial number of the engine and i will search on that model and year if they had any problems.
