Interesting post on facebook re a new sports boat!

Looking for the best price (LH & RH) of a pair of NEW Mirage Plus 27P props - stainless of course. Prefer UK dealer.

Yes, please do, will be very interested indeed mainly because of the fame of the Phantom 25 which continues to this day.

If this boat is in Norway, which I think it is, its a Phantom 25 and probably the only one ever built with an inboard engine, As you say, most were built fitted with outboards. However, before buying I would suggest that you really need a trial run before deciding. Having said that, the Phantom...

A brilliant article for anyone with a love of the sea and an ounce of adventure in their souls. On this particular day this was all about perseverance in extremely challenging conditions during the 2024 CTC race.

Steve Hutchinson on 07775 685000 has a Phantom 25 for sale in his yard. Not bad nick either apparently. P25's in good condition are now as rare as hens teeth!!

This particular 25’ Revenger 25sc (hull designed by Don Shead),was the third off the production line in 1983. Built by Roger Dobson of Plancraft Marine specifically for his own use, Dobson fitted a 225bhp BMW engine and drive and raced it three times that year including the famous...

Wanted to try, pair of Mercury Bravo Ones 27pitch props. For use on Mango Crazy, a 35 yr old 28ft Hunton Gazelle now racing in the UKOPRA championships. Any help would be appreciated. Over revving with a pair of 24’s! 07860285438.

Nice one Re-Leader, but the race cost £500,000 to put on (equivalent to almost £900,000 today) and eventually a team of 25 people, all unpaid, including ourselves plus 2 yrs of work at 16hrs a day, and that was by just a few of us initially, so if you can put all that together plus the deluge of...

I have also designated a page to thanking Boatmad and Jon Fuller in particular for making the race certain by everyone, well almost everyone, getting behind it. Thanks Boatmad!!!

I have just written the book about the 2008 Round Britain Powerboat Race. A bit late I know but it’s a bit of history now, needed to be done frankly. It is out on Amazon today. To all of the forty-seven race teams who took part, all of you and your back-up teams, thank you. You were the race...

Thanks for that Scand, much appreciated, just wanted to see if it had ever been done before and this guy has obviously done a great job. Looks a very neat set up. 170,000kr, mmmmm!

Has anyone ever fitted or had fitted an inboard petrol V8 into a Phantom 25, if so pictures please.

BRUT IS FOR SALE: A rare 28’ Phantom lovingly restored to as close to as new condition as possible by Paul Hopwood. One of only a few Built completely in Kevlar/Aramid, BRUT was at the time a ‘reasonably light build’ and the most expensive one built at the time. Raced by both Peter Armstrong and...

As a new user to Boatmad Pal, you need to understand that rude and aggressive language to other long term users is not tolerated on this site. One more rude post and you are out!!

No idea what planet you come from chum but if you are going to insult the late great Steve Baker and his products on Boatmad then you need to either read up on his history (and the P25's) and apologise or go back to where ever it is you came from.

It's been a bit of a money pit. The current owner upgraded the engines to twin 400's (from twin 310's) but it still tended to porpoise badly and the top speed remained poor. Turned out the engines were initially fitted too high and the hull needed some serious modifications. The work was done by...

Life is full of risks and opportunities, very few grasp the opportunities and run with them. (Not my words, someone else's but they apply here I think).

P25's Someone should, 40yrs later it would still be a great pleasure/race boat and competitive at that with modern materials and engines. If I was young enough, which I'm not, I would definitely buy one for fun and the occasional CPC race. Always admired them from way back in the early 80's.

Phantom 23 Hi Ross, I know it was a long time ago now but I have just been following your thread on your old 23 and found it fascinating. You certainly did an amazing job and she looked stunning. I know you have moved onto other boats now it being 2022 now but can you just post a couple of...
