Went from Lymington to St Malo via Alderney, and then back via Jersey in three days in October 2002 on a RIB cruise (4 boats), one of which was the said Phantom Evo.
Had mixed conditions over three days, with a force 4/5 crossing back across the channel. I spent several hours in the Phantom Evo, and it was (still is) an excellent boat. Very quick, lively and responsive to drive, and very caoable in the rough. The Honda engine felt a little lethargic, and high revs.
Oh and it had a great aluminimum foot throttle, salmon controls for the forward water ballast tank, and a dash mounted joy stick control for the trip enabling adjustment with both hands on the steering wheel. Hope this is useful.
