Hi everyone,
I'm new to here, I have been reading on your forum and it has some great information. I just picked up a 1982 Phantom Bass Boat with a Evinrude 60 HP engine. I was wondering if anyone has any information on the boat. I have been looking on the internet and there is not much out there. I want to set it up this spring for fishing.
Also I have a Force 125 outboard and was wondering if i could put that on the Phantom boat or maybe its to big for it?
Thank you in advance for your input.

Phantom boats were made in Old Hickory TN by Ray Edsin. The 14/15 ft models was copys of the early trihull Bomber boats(also Tn made) and all have a hook in bottom(bad mold) and porpose at slow speeds. The 14 ft was rated at 60hp and the 15ft was at 75hp if I remember correctly. The 17ft Phanther was a copy of a Laser. These boats was constructed with what was on hand that day,that why some have fir stringers and others pine and transom/floors with or without treated plywood.
