performance question
I don't know if there are any out there with big power or not. Realistically how would an early 33 perform with around 900 a side. How fast? how much would you have to change to make it feasible? Shorties, blueprint ect? With the straight bottom is it even worth putting that type of power in one? Would it handle well with that type of power? Thanks

I guess that is kind of what I was asking. And I promise I know they are completely different boats. But if you put staggered 1000 in a 35-42 fountain its what 130+ maybe. same with a cig with steps maybe. Would you get enough performance to make it worth spending the money on the power. I know sometimes you just reach the maximum potential of the hull no matter the power. I was just curious thought it would be good conversation.

Is it worth it IMO yes. Can the hull handle it yes. Will you be able to cruise at 90 mph without having to be stressing the motors in 3-4 footers yes. Is it going to run 130+ no. But will run close to 110 mph depending on prop, setup ext. Are you ever going to get the money you put into no but than again we never do no matter which boat it is. I would just do it for the peace of mind of being able to cruise at 90+ mph without stressing the motors (obviously good built motors) in 3-4's. Remember the average boat now days cruises between 90-100 mph. Keep in mind that at the end of the day, these Powerplay are old technology but with that being said, awesome rough water boats that run and handle bigger then their actual size.

No reason not to put 900 per side in them
Like Mike said, would probably run 110 or so, mine runs 84 with 525's in fresh water. Almost another 400hp per side would be awesome. Hull will definitely handle it, and you won't need a blueprint on anything coming out of the Powerplay factory from Danny, I can guarantee you that

Yea I was curios if there had been many over the 100 mark and how they did. I know when I had No Agenda it ran 92 in cool conditions. High 80's anytime. I think a 100mph 33 would be pretty damn awesome.
