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
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
