Re: asking for a little help..
JC. CR is about 12.7:1. I could slap some thicker head gaskets on it to sell it. but I guess I am to lazy to do that work just to sell it 
it wouldn't take much, the cylinders pump 205-210 psi. If it got down to around 180 psi it would run on 93 i would think.
I thought too old would just come up here and get it to put on his showroom floor

Re: asking for a little help..
You need an honest opinion.
I got back into boating in 1998 and after much searching bought a 3 year old 1995 180 Baja islande with just 40 hours on it. The thing looked brand new, was on a trailer with a Mercury V6 vortec that would take it to 55 mph.
As you know- boats depreaciate. I only paid $12,000 for that 3 year old boat with reliable Mercruiser power- and now you are asking the same amout of money for a nearly 20 year old boat with an engine that is about as far from user friendly (110 octane) as I can imagine.
If it were a 20 year old Pachanga I could understand your asking price. But it's not, it's a Power Play - an off brand to say the least. If that boat had a Mercruiser V-6 or V8 it might be worth $7000 or $8000. WIth that radical engine it's worth - less, and probably far less.
IMO, it's going to take a miracle to get anything even close to what you are asking.

Power Play isn't exactly an "off brand". Power play/power quest is a recognized name in the boat building game IMHO. I guarantee its built better than any 19 foot Baja too.
Travis, buy a junk yard dog 305 and slap it in, it will sell faster and then sell the mouse motor to a car guy.

If that doesn't qualify for being an Off-Brand then I guess I don't know what the term means.
I think your advice is good though. People looking at 18 foot runabouts probably aren't going to be in the mkt for one with a 110 octane required engine.
There could be that one lucky buyers out there, but that's like counting on winning the lottery imo.
