We didn't take on much water. Had the ex go up front when the hatch broke open, too bad I didn't lose her lol. Seriously had my doubts turning around. Going with them was better. Ahhh good times hahaha.

Sorry to correct you but LOTO does get seriously rough and there is no rhythm you can get into to go through it. Put 50 cruisers plowing the main channel (plus all the other boats) with the wakes bouncing off the rock walls back into the lake and it turns into a washing machine of 4-5'ers. If you haven't ran in it, you can't comprehend it.

Come run the Sandusky channel and whole western basin of Lake Erie... same wake issues plus real waves... washing machine, I have friends thta boat all over the country every single one says there is nothing like Lake Erie... everything from 20 foot boats to 46 Cig.... Eri will hand you a beatin on the average day.... way more then the LOTO videos I seen..

There is no doubt that LOTO can get rough at certain times. The washing machine effect is almost all the time for me. Being on the west side of Lake Michigan, 3' is a normal day, and it's always a washing machine. I get maybe 3 flat days a year if i'm lucky and then I have to deal with big cruiser wake as well.

But be honest are you saying that a Y2K is gonna run 87 in that kind of water?

The 33 PP is a bad ass big water boat as well. Not sure if I would like to run 87 in 5'ers on it though. I loved driving the one my old boss had. But it only had 502's in it and I think top speed at the time was 75ish. Was hella fun in 4'ers though.

I don't think he'll run 87mph in a Y2K on a busy weekend in the channel at LOTO but I am curious on how it'll do. They are kick ass boats for what they are (size/power/speed wise). I don't know Supre or his buddies but I have to say he did buy a great boat if he wanted a fast, good riding 29-30' boat with a single.

Your spot on. It may be possible but it doesn't mean it's a good idea. 80+ in 3-4 is fun.

Full Force 03-07-2013 09:09 PM

The closest in 5 footers to 87 I personally been in was A buddys 36 Cig widebeam.... 80 MPH in true 5 footers, that was one hell of a fun ride, there is something the old Cigs have that help besides being strong... WEIGHT and when you land in one you dont gt your azz handed to ya, I put mine in some big az waves and I never feel it, I also weigh in around 11,000+ with fuel a gear, not including passenger weight, thats HEAVY for a 35 footer... I dont see superboat weighing that much to not toss passengers around

I would like to ride in a 33 Powerplay to see how they do compared to other boats I been in, I read good things..

1989mach1 03-07-2013 09:14 PM

tim i am around 11,900 with full fuel,water and some gear on my 33 and it makes a big difference

Plowtownmissile 03-07-2013 09:17 PM

Full Force, I agree with you on that. In my eyes, the 3 things that make a boat ride better is more deadrise, more length, and more weight.

I guess if its LOADED down its close, but how often you run loaded?

I hate to see mine loaded, 9800 dry....200 gallons fuel, and 40 water... WOW

1989mach1 03-07-2013 09:39 PM

lol ya usaly run with a 1/2 tank but always full water for the wife and its nice to have.

Well compared to a 33OL, 32 Fountain, 34 Scarab, and an older Formula that I don't know what model but close to the same size. The PP has the smoothest re-entry I have felt. It just seems to land soft. It does not fly like the Fountain, and again it felt softer then a 33OL. The PP and the OL were close in what I call cutting a wave when you put the nose down.

It does feel lighter than the Scarab and the Formula, but it should as it does not have as much free board as those two. But still felt very stable.
