The main cockpit easily accommodates up to eight adults.  This photo also shows three children in the optional mother-in-law seat.  A large storage area is located under the fore deck, as is the optional pull out table.

Despite the name, it is probably not the best place to stick your mother-in-law but the kids will absolutely love it.

A good view showing the deck details.  The bronze hardware is custom made for us by foundries in the US and England.

Phantom shown on custom aluminum trailer made for us by Magic Tilt.   Because of the boxed keel and full skeg, the boat can be run aground with a minimal chance of drive-train damage.

Foredeck showing the quilted mahogany glistening in the sun.  This is a very rare  figured wood and was specially ordered for the boat.

Sliding mahogany doors concealing the forward storage area.  The curved seatback sections lift out to give full access to the large compartment.  The optional pullout table is located under the foredeck.  The automatic battery chargers are also easily accessed from these doors

The optional pullout table fully extended.  The table has recessed drink holders and is built sturdy enough to be self supporting--no need for an outboard leg.

There are two non-slip oiled teak boarding steps on each side of the boat.  The floor is also of oiled teak.  For additional leg room, the side bench seats have an open bottom design.

On the starboard side, the aft seat step flips up to reveal a drink holder and remote control for the stereo system.

On the port side, the step flips up to reveal a drink holder and concealed drawer--perfect for small items such as sunscreen, camera, sunglasses, etc.

In the design process, particular attention was paid to the safe and convenient storage of the life jackets.  The seat backs simply lean forward to reveal four adult jackets and the curved seat panels lift out to reveal four more.

This construction photo shows the Phantom's unique boxed keel which hold the main battery bank and motor.  This places the majority of the weight low and center in the boat providing for a very stable and smooth ride.
