phantom 28 for sale

[slomo]

hi all
i was talking to a guy today who is selling a pair of 28 phantoms
one is all white the other is all black
i dont really need another boat but i thought it was too good to miss
he says they are brand new without rigging or power
i dont know when they were built or anything about these boats
i see you guys on here seem to know your stuff about these boats
what would be the best engine setup single or twin
petrol or diesel any figures would be good with different set ups
i would not be in any panic to get the job done but if it takes me away from the wife and the end result is good im in

i will look forward to any info
cheers shaun

they wont be real ones dude

 

[Captain Chaos]

well, are they moulded for inboards or do they have a well?

where are they located? If they are in holland or belgium I think we can be sure they aint Phantoms. If they are in portugal or Spain ....... they could be atleast from the original mould.

 

[dowdy]

How much?Where situated? Any pics?

 

[slomo]

they are in holland
im sure he said they were set up for twin inbords
he was to send me a few pics this weekend as he is out of the country at the moment
you say they are not phantoms what could they be? what will i look for that makes it different from a real phantom ?
will it be another make of a boat or a moulded phantom with changes
he did say the were genuine phantom 28s
but ive never seen one up close before so he could be trying to pull a fast one
i guessed it was too good to be true

 

[Jon Fuller]

he did say the were genuine phantom 28s

That's very unlikely indeed.

 

[slomo]

what im saying is
would it be possible he has moulded a 28 and built a few
or a completely different boat that looks very like a phantom
what other boats are simlar to the 28

 

[Ph@ntastic]

I think it is the same man who had an ad with two 21ft Phantoms (one bleu and one red) for sale as well , he clamed they were originals as well .
I tried to find the ad but it has been removed .....

phantom 28

if these are new genuine phantom 28s then i think you have found the equivilent to rocking horse shi* so many people would love to get their hands on a new p28 genuine of course
ray

 

[slomo]

im lost lol
if it is a brand new phantom moulded from a genuine phantom with no changes would it not still be ok if thereb were no changes made to the it

 

[Captain Chaos]

Slomo, if you want to know all about Phantoms and Copies I suggest you just do a search for "phantom 28" and "splash" on this forum. The subject has been discussed to exhaustion many times and the views of the forums administrator (amoungst others) have been aired.

However, If you wanted to post details and pictures of the specific boats you are being offered I'm sure some people here will be able to tell you what they are........I.e geniune (unlikely) or a copy (most likely).

 

[slomo]

chill out man
what i want to know is

(IF THE BOAT IS MOULDED FROM A PHANTOM 28 AND WELL BUILT WHAT WOULD BE THE DIFFERENCE)

im not going to get into talk about splashing or anything like that i would like to buy the boat/boats and kit them out sometime would the boats be ok

i will be getting some pics @ the weekend i will look forward to seeing them

 

[Captain Chaos]

Shaun, I was and I am Very Chilled. I was actually trying to be helpfull.

With regards to asking what the build quality is like, get some pictures and I'm sure some people will give thier opinions. the copies that I have seen & heard about all seem to vary in quality. However a couple have had some similarities (which are obvious signs of who they have been built by).

 

[slomo]

thank you chaos
sorry i thought you were getting a little pissed there
but im only looking advise and help
thank you

Ph@ntastic, The red and blue phantom 21s are legitimate as they were formed using the purchased Steve Baker original moulds at Trio Mouldings.

The guy just wanted to sell them as they were taking up space.

Although they were not built by Steve Baker himself.

 

[slomo]

the guy text me today
the boats are sold along with 1 trailer and a set of phantom 28 moulds they went to co cork

 

[Captain Chaos]

well, you need to finding out where. In case they are the genuine ones
