Bishop Aeromarine - Phantom II Outriggers


There is a new manufacturer being started called Bishop Aeromarine and it's run by a guy called Joe Bishop. The design of the boats are a bit of a mix of really old school 70's style and some new contemporary designs (according to me). They will sure be interesting to see in action though!

I think each new Phantom II boat will be available in two versions as in "Ultra" and "Elite". Seems like the Elite is run with a ski and the Ultra with two rear sponsons and an exposed drive line - I guess they haven't tested enough yet to decide on which design route to go....!?


This is the old prototype from back in the days (1977) that had an OPS .65 in it. Think they where hard/solid shaft designs.
