- Phantom 23
Lovely stealth black Phantom 21 which has this year been restored to its former glory.
The boat is original black gelcoat which has had a long process of wetsanding to cut back the grime and scratches away then polished up to a beautiful shine before being sealed with 3 coats of Simoniz Original hard wax, So it'll retain this shine for years to come with very little upkeep!
All carpet inside was removed and the hull thoroughly cleaned before two coats of black flowcoat making it super easy to wash down afterwards.
The boat had also been totally rerigged this year with the following;
New Stainless flush cleats front and back,
New Optima Redtop battery with 21 months left of on warranty,
New fuel tank fitted under the floor
New bilge pump and black skin fitting
New rubbing strip, black powdercoated extrusion
Storage compartment fitted into the floor by the front seats
Lightweight cored kickboard which flips down for easy access up the front.
Hot Foot throttle fitted
Mercury control box fitted with 9 pin harness
Water seperating fuel filter and primer bulb
Original twin cable steering is fitted which works well.
Trailer is a nice lightweight single axle unbraked trailer which was also fully restored 6 months ago, after being totally stripped back to bare metal and epoxy sealed twice before top coated. The bearings, bunks, uprights, mudguards , coupling, drawbar, winch, and bow roller all replaced at the same time and the hubs were machined to fit the new alloys, The boat has only been in the water 3 times since I've owned it.
Bad bits: The seats could do with a little tlc, they're still usable & comfortable just lets the boat down slightly..
Other than that all it needs is gauges and an engine then she's ready to go.
There is a full restoration album on my Facebook profile with every step of the rebuild.
