The "lost" Phantom

[Just4Fun]

This Phantom hull was one of the first Josh built. Huge thanks to @sinisterjosh209 he's without a doubt one of the best dudes to deal with in the industry. He's answered 100's of text/calls and even a video call to get me setup!! Half the time I text him, he calls back before I can put the phone down. All of this and I'm pretty sure he hasn't made a dime of me!! The build on this phantom is perfect I looked it over there are no flaws no dimbles it is perfection and I intend to keep it that way!!

I picked the phantom up January of 2017. The hull was in storage for close to two years, but in pristine condition despite the layer of dust.
This is my first full build from a untouched hull. The hull was also setup for a b pipe and small motor it was never intended for a 155/lay down pipe and large motor. Subsequently I will be doing some light reinforcing and tweaking to make it game for what I'm gonna throw at it!
Fast forward to know I have collected just about every part I can think of. The motor has shipped and its time to put this B**** together and Ride.

Setup will be

ET 1107 on pump gas
Dasa 48's
Charging system
PHP mani/vf3's
TNT V3 setup with comp stinger

OEM 155 pump
Thin blade cut back Skat 10/16
CATS trim setup

X-metal comp pole
X-metal steering
Cart tank
And a bunch of billet bling!

That's what the SV1 is for!! Stoked for Florence though, hopefully better surf than PAC city.

Josh kills it on these hulls! You will like it.
Super easy to ride, stable, and recovers better than any flat water hull I have rode. You'll get spoiled..lol

looking real good i have been wondering if i will ever see this hull again

Made some solid progress last night!! Fabricated a battery tray I will be gluing to the bulk head! Also built a plate for my water box to strap and cut down my waterbox for a cleaner fit in the hull!

Reinforced the Gut with a couple layers of biax and visual layer of carbon up top! Glued and screwed the battery box to my bulkhead using panelbond adhesive! Ratchet strap and ebox mounts are in! And installed a eyelet up front for trailering.

Starting to look like a ski! Pump is installed and the trim system is dialed just want to add a return spring. Used some 5200 fast cure to install the bilge base, hopefully it holds. Not even sure if I'm gonna run a bilge but want the option for now. Really need to turf this thing but I'm just lacking motivation..

5200 works great on the bilge base, mine broke loose with epoxy. Going on 3 years

Nice build.
Just curious , why did you reenforce hull below motor area ?

In case a mount breaks just a little bit more meat under the cases never hurts
