We have year 2000, 34' Phantom pleasure-boat, with twin front bucket seats, and rear bench seat. It is at Phantom now getting cosmetic upgrades, and engine tuning at Innovation Marine on the new Dart 540 EFI's. It may be for sale, we still are up in the air on selling the boat
Smarty DON'T sell the Phantom your dad put alot of work into that boat. I'm sure he would wont you to keep it so you can smoke a few boats down the shore this summer.

It is still my mother's boat, I have not bought it from her. I may buy it. I need to go back to work, get some money together. I am an out of work attorney, go figure.
My father did put a hell-of-alot of work into that boat (bottom work, new engine cover, complete re-rig, new interior, gauges/bezels, plumbing, cables, ect. ) and completely redid a 2005 trailer - bunks, disc brakes, actuator. The new graphics, and the engines will in the boat soon, we took it to Phantom in October. I am eager to see how it looks, and how fast it will be with the new power.
I will keep up the Jones tradition; when we are out boating, if your boat look's like an 90 mph+ boat, I will circle back to the passing boat, roll up along side, and wave "let's go!" from about a 50 mph start to WOT drag race for a few miles. That's the way Jones's do it. Win or lose I get we always got in our races on Sunday afternoon.
you cant do it steve! Once you hear those motors- your dads spirit will take over, and you will know. There are so many local stories about the best races that where between your family, eddie toth and Bobby W; great old timer stories!
give me a shout and will meet up on the chesapeake or delaware some were.

I will touch base when I am going boating there, thanks. Lloyd's Creek?
What we (my father and I) used to do before going to Lloyd's Creek was to sit off Turkey Point or the Bohemia, waiting for someone to run. I always enjoyed that part of boating.
I look forward to it, and seeing your 34' in action, sharp boat. The last I time I saw that boat was when it was on the lift/dock in Brigintine. My father looked at that boat when it wasn't for sale. He went to ther owner's house, knocked on the door, and asked to look at the boat. He never made an offer because he thought the owner would want too much money for it, after speaking to Bobby Wallace at Offshore Performance about how much momney was spent on the up keep alone.
While I do not have first hand information about your 34' apparently you have one good boat, according to my father.
