Cash,
Yes. I didnt want to say anything until every single thing was done. That pic is actually from a couple weeks ago when doing the survey. Im going to be in Fla at the end of April if anyone wants to hook up I'll be a Shooters on the 23rd. Then the boats coming to NY.

Semper... thanks for all your help.

Storm, Where is the Roundhouse. Im not too familar with the places west of Paddy's other than running in the ocean to the Atlatic Beach Inlet.

Re: Owners: Lets see some Powerplay Pics
 
The "roundhouse" is the Sands beach club in AB.
I have a cabana there.
All the fishing guys call it the roundhouse, cuz its a round building, easily identifiable from offshore.
And its Jones or Debs inlet, not Atlantic Beach inlet. ;)
I'll be looking for you. :D

Active- Congratulations great boat! While in Florida looking at another boat I stopped by Fastboats to see that Powerplay. First time ever in one. Very impressed! When I got home I decided I had to have one. I called to set up a sea trial and found out it was sold. I found this one a week or so later fresh out of the paint shop and bought it. Another proud new owner of a 33 Powerplay & new member of OSO. Hope to see you at the NYC poker run or maybe you could bring it up to Lake George for the Queens Demo Race in May.

Xpress, I love your boat. I looked into it before they decided to change the color but didn't want to wait to see what it was going to look like. It looks amazing and newer than mine. I like that it was newer but was tossing around the 496's compared to the HP500's. The valve springs were just done approx 40 hrs ago and the compression check was off the scale. I think I probably saved a few buck too?? Not sure. Nice boat.

XPRESS 33PP 03-30-2006 04:06 PM

Re: Owners: Lets see some Powerplay Pics
 
I did the same thing. I looked at the 2000 with the 500EFI's that Xtreme has. {Nice clean boat} But decided to go with the 02, 496HO's. The boat just looked like new with the paint and all. Ther are a few more things i need to do to her, like paint the air vents for one. I've been talking to Fred at Trick Marine about a few other ideas. I can't wait to get it up here to get started and to find out how fast she will run with the 496's. If anyone has any idea let me know. I've heard everything from 75 to 80. I read somewhere on OSO that they raised the drive hieght with the 496 package and it is supposed to run a little stronger.

I looked at that boat too, but didnt want to go with the purple interior and liked the back seat in this boat better

I have to say this for a warning for everyone.... the boat mentioned above MAY have had some water issues. I got a PM from an OSO member recently who went to look at this very boat-- he said it smelled like mildew like it had some water sitting in the boat at some time. Just be careful!

Congrats you guys on your boats...they are beautiful.

Re: Owners: Lets see some Powerplay Pics
 
epeek- I thinks its about time you traded that old 2005 X on the brand-y new 2006 model, yours is starting to look a little dated! Called Reggie today, told him I'll give him a couple of G's to fill your new race fairing with lead, it may give my (resin bucket) a bit of an edge. :D :D :D

Re: Owners: Lets see some Powerplay Pics
 
XPRESS 33PP, I saw that boat when it was one year old and a few times since. It was always clean. I was told at the Miami boat show 80-82mph, but since most 500hp boats run 82+ or-, I'd say 78. Still a very nice boat. When it gets rough most will lag behind your resin bucket!

Re: Owners: Lets see some Powerplay Pics
 
What and when is the Queen's Demo Race on Lake George? I love that area and am planning on bringing a boat up there sometime early summer.

As far as speed, Ed here on the board has given me more Powerplay information than I can remember, but the boat should run right around 80 + or -. He also told me some boats ran considerably faster with 496s and some "freak motors" actually got in the high 80s, almost 90. My own personal feeling on that is I've had Chevy guys tell me that GM doesn't trash aluminum blocks, so if there is a problem with the block from the factory, they have been known to bore the block out and install bigger pistons. Perhaps that is the explanation? I don't know for sure. Your boat will have the higher x dimension which Powerplay started in very late 1997, 1998 when the first low water pickup Bravo drives and Bravo One propellers came out. According to what Ed has told me, this picked the boats' top speed up almost 5 mph.

Re: Owners: Lets see some Powerplay Pics
 
Ive been told by someone that worked at Powerplay the x dimmensions are all over the place from all the years.

XPRESS 33PP 03-31-2006 09:31 PM

Re: Owners: Lets see some Powerplay Pics
 
Thanks for all the info. I have been in 2 brand new Fountain 35 X's with 496's and they both ran a solid 78-79 on GPS in fresh water. I don't think the Powerplay would run any faster without a stepped hull. 80 would be great but I'm not going to get my hopes up. As far as the Queens Demo Race I think its the weekend before Memoial Day weekend. I will try to get all the information tomorrow and I will pass it on. Last year I was a passanger in epeeks Fountain, we had a blast! Alot of great boats, they rented a chopper for videos & pictures - good time!

Hey guys, What is the weight of a 33 with HP 500's??? The PP website says 2980lbs. How could that be right?

I think that is the bare hull weight. I think the atual weight is right around 7,800lbs.
