Right you lot I meet this guy on the river Crouch in Essex, Imagaine my suprise to see a FAST (its rare to se a powered one) boat on the horizon as I power up the river and round the corner. I am delighted to discover that its a phantom 20 like my own! Go over say hi to a fellow Essex Phantom owner. Tell him about BOATMAD.com hes happy to find a "friendly teachniacl forum" and you guys take the piss out of his engine. Not nice :bang: For what its worth Taz's 275 on his phantom 20 looked massive compared to my XR2 also on a phnatom 20. We didnt race as such but it goes like a bat put of Hell and my boat according to Carl is setup just right.

Conclusion:
1) Be nice to new members (especially ESSEX Phantom Owners)
2) That engine is quick compared to mine (XR2)and looks MASSIVE
3) People come here for advice NOT abuse
 
:aaahhh:
 
I have said what was needed to be said - work in IT and IT forums are always flamming each other. I was hoping Boat forums would be a bit more friendly!

Chaos have u got an engine for yours yet?
You could see how fast Taz's one goes!
Have u even had it on the water yet?

Would be good to get all three of them (phantoms) together one day ..... Essex Boyz ! We need to give these Solent boys a run for their money! :)

:duell:
 
Sorry The Phantom Fairy came and took mine in the night.....so i dont think i have it anymore
 
OI! no 'fairy talk' Chaos

Did you see me fall in last time! 1st time I didnt put me wet suit on to get the boat out and fell in off the trailer!

Yeah I am up for going out . Cant launch retrive by myself though. If you give us a hand launching and vice versa. PM me your Tel Number if you like. Was flat this weekend but I was too Hung over!

Chaos I have spotted your boat!
