How would your phantom compare to say a 33 Powerplay(lighter) or a Cafe Racer(heavier) in rough water 3-4 footers. What does the boat weigh? Havent heard alot of feed back on these boats....Long Island Sound(where we boat) can kick up like a washing machine, thats why I ask.

Kev, thay are a great hull, but they dont have a lot of freeboard. They are a sitdown boat, probably closer in weight to the PP.

POWERPLAY J

Next time Gary leaves for a month he can leave me the keys and I'll let ya know how it compares to the PP.

A phantom is one of the few boats in that size range I would consider but then again I don't care about a cabin and like sit downs

I have never ridden in either the PP or the Cig of that size.

The Phantom is a very good boat at 50-60 mph cruise speed in the Ocean on a day approaching three foot waves, the northern Chesapeake (lots of cruiser-motor yacht wakes) and the Ocean off of AC, it is a very nice riding boat.

I would bet it weighs less than the PP. You would have to call Will Smith at Phantom about the weight.

Thanks pat ill keep it in mind, anything else??? So far I've found a couple cats that fit the bill, but surprising not too many vees

why are you surprised? it takes big power to propel a vee hull to the triple digit mark per your request. bigger power means the owner will (typically) demand more money.

your proposition is two sided...

1. go older with huge power but the hull designs are slow (no steps)
2. go new and more efficient but your dollar number doesnt hold up

have to pick your poison.

Yeah but you can buy carbed 900's for less than 525's now so its a wash
