Yeh, and don't underestimate the task involved to get spares for it when it breaks, and believe me it will. Almost all part are now no longer available, and because of the small number that were produced there ain't much after market stuff available either.

The motor was a real embaressment to mercury, doesn't make the stated hp, and in most cases is no quicker than a 200hp on a similar boat.

There was talk on the forum of one for sale in Poole a couple of months ago, a 275hp with an almost complete motor for spares for less than a £1,000.

Hey, tell it like it is.

It's a cool looking motor, but it ain't no sportster. More suited to fishing boats, ribs etc, not a performance craft like a phantom, probably get a p22 onto the plane though!!!!!

This is probably a really stupid question but I am an Essex girl so I'm allowed to be dumb! How will shifting weight to the front prevent cavitation? Surely more nose weight will pull the stern out of the water more? Please can someone explain! (See - I told you it was a dumb question! But if you don't ask you don't learn.)

Ta Matt. I was wondering whether Taz meant chine-walking but didn't like to say as I'm not one of the experts like you!
