I'm working on a plan to lose my job and move back into my parents basement.

Two taps/a bar, pool table, big screen, margarita machines and food in the pantry. Way better than how I'm living.:evilb:

And look how that worked out... Now you have twice the boat

:evilb::evilb::evilb:

I'd take either! Both great boats. But then I'm not running around a forum crying and whining like a little 13 year old schoolgirl with a silly little adgenda so what would I know. :evilb::evilb:

I agree, at 45-55mph you are drawing to much water and the drive(s) are too deep. The trick is too increase speed so you have less boat and prop in the water. In fact, WFO seems to work best.

hey whats up buddy?? gona see you on the sandbar this year? i got some new hardware Ive been keeping secret... but not for much longer:whistle::party-smiley-004:

I did a bunch of work to the boat over the winter and got way behind. I'm hoping to do a shakedown run on the boat tonight and if all goes well I should be heading to Torch tomorrow. If it doesn't go well I may just say fawk it and hop in a buddy's Checkmate.

What is it AJ? Been waiting to hear what you got!

That is what I was implying haha.

Rumor has it..... 288 sunsation......:silenced:

where up here you from? is your boat the one kevin was talking about with the blown 540? whats your buddy got for a checkmate?

No I have a NA 502. My buddy has a SC 502 in his 253 Checkmate. 1996 and multi-colored. I call it the "Roy G. Biv" boat. LOL

Check out PQ General Discussion... details over there:boat:

[QUOTE=ajfisher;3710141]I was simply poking fun at the fact that every dominator that rolls just happens to come apart like a pretzel:lolhit:

I don't understand why you or any of the other naysayers on this thread think that it is unreasonable for any boat to have some type of damage after a stuff, spin out, rollover etc. and especially if the boat goes down. The boats have to be turned over and pumped out and then lifted out by a hoist with who knows how much water still in them. I see that you have a Powerplay now....I am a big fan of their boats but maybe you have not been around the boards long enough to recall the very tragic accident where a 33 Powerplay apparently stuffed and as a result of the accident 4 of the 5 passengers on boat were killed. The boat was pretty much destroyed with most of the deck and bow blown off. I don't care who the manufacturer is if a boat spins out, has a rollover or stuffs at a certain speed, angle etc. there is a good chance damage is going to result from it and people will most likely get hurt. I have listed a link below to the story on the accident.

Nice boat AJ. Congrats...

33 powerplay integrity has been questioned!

O, o, o! Do mine next do mine next!

For those of us not familiar, what was the speed and conditions of this?

Nice boat! Shouldn't details be in the PP section?:lolhit:

LOL!!!

There were 2 PP's (1 race, 1 pleasure) that were involved in fatal accidents. Both were suspect of hitting the bottom after they were stuffed at high speed and blew apart.

You can look at the report if you want but from what I recall reading they said a fisherman was the only witness and he said they were running at a high rate of speed....the boat had 496 HO's in it. I'm not going to get into a pissing contest on this I was just trying to point out that if any boat flips, stuffs or rolls there is a good chance it is going to be damaged....I didn't talk about Powerplay's integrity. The Chicago group that we boat with is a pretty diverse group....with Outerlimits, Baja's, Cigs, Scarab's, Sonic's, Fountain's, Profiles and Sunsations all of which I like.

No pizzing contest. I've stuffed mine twice and being a foam boat you better believe the two other accidents went thru my mind. Kinda like the many step boat I ride in each season when we go into a turn. Just get that uneasy feeling...

You will laugh your a** off at this but myself and a few buddies got into a 20 or so foot Bayliner at the age of 13 with a guy that we knew....it was a cuddy cabin and had the high back to back seats....halfway into our ride around the lake he told us to hold on while he cranked the wheel at about 40 MPH acting like it was a jetski or ski boat....it sent me flying into the engine hatch face first. Needless to say I got my bell rung and had a quarter size hunk of my inside lip hanging out of my mouth....I also get uneasy when in a boat with someone else and turn.

I was expecting this story to reveal jerry Sandusky as the driver. Wasn't quite sure where this story was going at first LOL

Hilarious SC288! Been there. My buddy at 18 had a MC Prostar 205 and he would either pin me against the side or I would go flying the other way, a few times so hard it would pop the winshield from the tracks! Ahh to be young and dumb again... lol

i never said it was unreasonable, i do think that sunsations end up with double the damage as others, but thats JMO... it was more a jab at the sunny owners i dont get along with, they know who they are

yes i have heard of the powerplay accidents, hopefully by the time im done with this new 33 there wont have been three accidents! :p

PQ General Disc is my hometurf... thats where i report to :D
I'll post a thread up on PowerPlay when i get some new pics Thursday

LOL, you guys crack me up, this thread has certainly been entertaining!
One thing I can attest to, the moot is really shallow this year. Had a hell of a time getting out of there on saturday, not knowing my way around. Just could not find a spot deep enough to get on plane, idled damn near all the way out.

Guess I should have left "Cabin" out of it LOL!

then Jay comes in talking about being pinned up against the side of a boat...:eekdrop: I just dont know if i can participate in this thread anymore!!

LOL....sounds familiar....guess we learned what not to do from some experts....LMFAO

Hotjava, Higgins this weekend?

Hey Eric, watched you guys leave. We had kids so we stayed away lol. Once you hit the middle you are good to go.

Haha smartass! I don't have beach side hair and don't own a Speedo or a Fountain so fuk you!!!!!

Its a possibility, what day you going?

Understandable, the party that weekend is definately not kid friendly lol. I didn't see you or I would have walked over at least. Hoping to be back down at least once more this summer, probably in August sometime.

So when something like this happens, does insurance cover it?

I'll be up there Friday afternoon and have the boat out on the chains in front of the cabin on the northside. Be there sat. And sun, Prolly pull out Monday and head to torch or go try out grand traverse bay. Dunno yet.

we will be out there sat and sun in the checkmate, still gotta get that ride!!

If you get over to west bay, look me up

We were thinking about making it over for a day, our buddy does photography on the water and was wanting to get some cool shots of the boats. How can we get a hold of you?

Bat signal...
