33 Powerplay ?
 

Am interested in the 2005 33 Powerplay in the classifieds. What can you all tell me about these boats in general , and this boat in particular if anyone knows the history of this one ?

Thank you in advance !

Jromy's boat here on the board. It was the last 33' made and is one of the nicest. Do a search on Powerplay. Tons of info.

I looked to buy it whjen he did. That thing was/is the shizznet.

It's a gorgoes boat- but seems priced a high- especially in this market.

My buddy sold his 4 year old (at the time) 38 PP with 525's/ Genny A/C for 150K.

Semper, I don't think his asking price is off at all. If you look in the clasifieds at any other 2005 33' to 35' boat in the same class as a Powerplay you will see the prices are all in the same ball park. What all these boats sell for may be different, but that depends on each buyer.

JS, I think any 38PP for 150K is an absolute smok'n deal unless it has other issues.

No doubt it's a stunning boat! JRomy's a cool guy , I hope he gets his asking price!!!!

I guess what I'm trying to say is that no matter what book value says, you have to lower the price in this market to move the product. Since it's one of the last 33' PP's made, it may command a higher price.

Boat was all there with about 40 hours on the power/ 400 on the hull. He was just in the mood to change gears and go to a diesel flybridge cruiser after 3 go fasts in a row. He only paid about 240K new so in his mind a 90K hit in 3 1/2-4 years of solid boating it was worth the cost of entry. The boat went on to become the OSO boat for a summer then the Fastfinance boat after that.

Thanks for the info guys ! So the 33 is a good ruff water boat with a good following is what I'm gathering so far ?

Excellent rough water boat with great rigging mold work etc

Powerplays are EXCELLENT rough water boats, not to mention their outstanding build quality.

WS 402, Give Mindi Doller a call @ 954*237*0332. She has a 33 Power Play for sale in excellent shape. Can be bought right. The boat is located in Fort Lauderdale, Fl. You can't go wrong..

I've been on the boat you're asking about many times and also own a '97 PP, they ride very well in the slop, have predictable handling, and are responsive to trim inputs. I'm sorry I have to sell mine.

JROMY's 33 is immaculate, he spared no expense in having it maintained, it has a triple axel Hi-Tech trailer too.

Thanks for the comments guys. The boat is basically in brand new condition and you will not find another with this engine and drive package. For someone looking for a boat in this year, size with this power, that will handle any rough water you throw at it, you will not find a better deal in my mind. That being said, I've got the boat for sale because I'm just too busy with work to use it as much as I'd like to. I figure this is the time of year to let everyone know it is available. I'm not in a rush to sell it and I'd rather hold onto it and use it occasionally than to give it away.

Very very very nice lookin boat !!!

Why did they stop building the 33? A few years back, when I was on here a lot it seems like I remember them being in some trouble... they didn't go out of business did they?

They're gone. Spent too much time paying attention to detail, rather than getting boats out the door. Then the check for the next new boat paid to finish the last being completed, and it didn't take long for there not to be enough money left to finish the boats on order.

Who has the molds?

Tom Mason, former owner of Midnight Express now owns the molds and the name Powerplay. Last I talked to powerplaysales (tuna) at the NYC boat show in January, they were looking for a new location in the Miami - Ft. Lauderdale area to start production.

Latitude Powerboats leased the 33 CC mold from Tom to make thier 35 CC from what I'm told.
