I have seen that boat and Alumacaft made a model similar to this too call the Phantom.

When I was in the process of buying a boat I looked at this model but it had a few simple issues.
1. It didn't have any floor space for large muskie size tackle boxes. Keep in mind this was almost 20 years ago and the plastic plano type boxes many of us use now were not invented yet. I simple don't know where I would have put my tackle. This was the main reasonI didn't buy it.

2. The boat didn't sit very low to the water and the deck was almost too high. The Lund was higher than the Phantom and it didn't have any freeboard to keep you inside. The Phantom has a bit of a ledge that your feet bump up to so you don't walk out.

My buddy still has a Phantom and I will be honest it is great to fish out of and can handle extremely rough water.

There are lots of good boats on the market and I imagine the manufactures have to change to keep up with the trends but we all have a favorite boat we would like to see come back. Wouldn't it be cool to be able to design the dream boat exactly for what fits you? (Which appears you can do to a degree with Tuffy) But then we are all different so what is good for you may be bad for others and there is no way a manufacture could stay in business.
