1981 Phantom - Christmas Gift for a Lucky Young Sailor

This very loved old boat came to us from an owner who wanted to restore it for a Christmas gift. The owner requested something fun and different as the lucky recipient was to be a young girl. We were told that her favorite color is Purple.

This nearly 30-year-old boat was the owner's very first boat, so special care was to be taken. In addition to painting the boat, the trailer had to be repaired and painted to match. All the rust was scaled off, new wheels, bearings, and light package were also installed. Of course, the trailer was customized with boats name as well.

The end result screams for attention - sleek, shiny and purple... this fun restoration turned out to be a funky little racer for a very lucky sailor.
