One of the important things about these boats is that they are almost all custom made/built to order. You can get race lay-ups, plane jane, or blinged out, and with whatever power you want. All of the boats listed are amazing, but you need to ride in them to see what is right for you.

This is so true. With small custom builders you can basically get what you want. We built Tylers boat with a solid fiberglass bottom , no coring. It rides like a Cadillac in the rough.

Here's a few questions for all the boats listed..

1. What is the deadrise of all these boats?
2. Which ones have a variable deadrise?
3. Do any of these boats have a padded bottom?
4. What are the weights?

The answers tell me which ones most likely ride best in the rough!

The Phantom is 29'-10" long with a beam of 7' 2". It has a variable deadrise and a "small" pad (see transon photo below), and the step is ventilated as shown below. (The photo was taken while repairs were being done after hitting something on the race course in Sarasota 2001.) The canopied version weighs 4,750 lbs, so what would you guess the pleasure version weighs? I honestly don't know.

Thanks

There is a hole in the side of the hull that forces air to the step.

Thanks for the info!

Is that a reverse chine I see?

Love that boat! is that how they are all designed?

Thanks. I honestly don't know if Will Smith has changed the design over the years. My old race boat and the current pleasure boat were both built in 1999, so I'm guessing that he tweaked a few things on his newer hulls.

Sit down style isn't for everyone, but I sure as hell like it. I wish I could get an aerial video like the one that you posted - awesome!
