Also remember the the World Champion boats your talking about were layed up for racing, lighter, beefed up bracing under bow deck. Make yourself happy Get the boat YOUR dreaming of you only live once!!!!!!!!
Have you been out on the Lake yet this year. I have parties and poker runs every weekend in June. I will be up there by the July 4th week. Hope to see you on the water.

Hey Goin' Nuts - Ask this same question in the General Discussion forum so that you can get some unbiased opinions.

I have never ridden in a PP but I can promise that a 33 PP doesn't ride as well as a Top Gun, and anyone that tries to argue that has lost their mind.....

I have been fortunate enough to spend a lot of time in various types of performance boats. We have two powerplay's: 28' and 38'.

A 33' powerplay will keep up with most boats that are bigger than its size. Definitely not a 38' top gun, but it will hold its own. Thats what they are known for. Big water, high quality custom v hulls.

Dont knock them until you have ridden in one and got up close. I think you will be surprised!

So are you saying the 38 Cig would ride & handle better than the 33PP theres alot of conflicting opinions here and I have not had the pleasure of riding in a cig yet but def going to find one to take for a ride

I've previously watched all those videos a few times. Very cool setup. Did you race that boat?

Yes - it is after all heavier and longer. However, like with everything else, there are trade off's. You will need more power to run a 38' straight bottom top gun etc. Do yourself a favor and take a ride in a cig. You will know right away what you will want to do.

I happen to have a soft spot for the lines of a 33'. There isnt a better looking or riding 33 in the market imho.
