Re: Mark's PH18 in Toronto
Thanks Guys appreciate the quick feedback. My choices are Etec 150HO (165HP) at only 418 pounds or 200HO (220HP) at 530 lbs. What I really wish I knew is how much of the 55 extra HP (and gas) will be chewed up the extra 110 pound difference?

Re: Mark's PH18 in Toronto
Thanks Tom. What would be wiser and would add less than 40 pounds would be stick with Etec G1. I'll have to decide. The current 115 Ficht is 384 lbs and upgrading to the 150HO in G1 is 418 lbs - negligible. Unfortunately, the G2's are all over 500 pounds, even staying with a 150HO. They sure are nic...

Re: Mark's PH18 in Toronto
I just realized I didn't ever load up pictures of the entire boat. Here are a couple, plus I'll post some more once I get the Talon mounted.

Re: Cvincent's PH18
HI CV. The inserts for the transom bolts need to be a non compressible material. I used structural resin. When I flipped the hull I had the outer skin done to the paint ready stage. On the inside bare foam. So I then drilled pilot holes where my 4 engine bolts go. One needs to ensure these holes are...

Re: PH18 tournament
I use mine in tournaments. Hawgtown Bassmasters in Ontario Canada. It will not ride as smooth as a deeper V but I have the confidence of self draining cockpit for those big water tournaments where we want to get out to the big smallies.
I love the Phantoms...

Re: Cvincent's PH18
Nice clean work ! Are you going to put "pillars" in between the inner and outer layers of glass where the engine bolts go through ? This was recommended for my build. Mine is all composite, transom is 2 x 1" PRX 300 with the recommended 4 layers 12 Oz biax each side, to of them are 12...
