Dagger Phantom

Dagger Phantom


Introduction

The Phantom is Dagger's answer to the Pyranha 9R and Jackson Nirvana in the nine-foot creek race category. All have a planing hull, a narrower beam than regular creek boats, an aggressively rockered bow, and a squared off stern. If you are looking for challenge without stepping up to higher risk runs these are the boats. The Phantom is only available in one size which is similar to that of the Med. 9R II. Compared to the 9R II Med, the Phantom is one-and-a-quarter inches wider and has seven more gallons of volume (the JK Nirvana fits between these two in width and volume). The softness of the Phantom's edges makes it feel sort of like the stability of a Dagger Mamba. Making course corrections mid-rapid in the Phantom is more like a river runner than a race boat. Phantom has already won numerous short boat class creek races even in prototype design. 

Description

This smaller, lighter weight version of the new Mamba is great for youths and smaller paddlers, with added volume and improved volume distribution over the original Mamba 7.5. - See more at: http://www.dagger.com/products/whitewater/river_running/mamba-7-6#sthash.hsUVxGMF.dpuf

Phantom carries its speed through holes and away from drops, and balances tracking and maneuverability with the ability to rapidly change direction when on edge. If you like Dagger's outfitting you'll feel right at home in the Phantom.
