Although it doesn’t look quite so radical as the original Fairline Fury, the Fairline Phantom sports a similar low profile flying bridge, well forward and recessed into the superstructure; again it’s the only helm position, resulting in a spacious and uncluttered accommodation. And a gain the boat was designed by John Bennett. Fairline Boats launched the Phantom in 1974 and built 310 of them up to 1982. This one is a 79 model.
The accommodation is split into two cabins, the after one being the main dining area with a dinette, which converts into a double berth, and the galley. The forward cabin has another dinette-cum-double berth, a settee-cum single and, right forward another berth that can be used a single, athwart ships, or by two small children. All this and a large aft cockpit.
Most Phantoms were fitted with twin outdrives. One of the most popular installations was a pair of 165HP diesels, giving a top speed of 27 to 30 knots . This one I was Surveying today had a pair of 120HP petrol engines, a lot of boat for the money……….
