Re: PH18 in Midcoast Maine - Rusty Clouser

Re: PH18 in Midcoast Maine - Rusty Clouser
After looking at plans I decided to build out 16'x4'. Should be able to get the first bulkhead to rest on this dimension without getting too tippy.

Re: Phantom 16/18 vs Bow didge Flats Chat
Thanks for the informative replies. With this information, I'm confidently moving forward with a PH18. Appreciate the input, ordering the plans and wood today. I've spent 2 years fishing out of an aluminum can assessing and planning this build (I built my own drift boat years ago), winter is long an...
