80's vintage - 18' powerplay
 

Does anyone have any info on an 18' powerplay that was built in the( 80's ?) I saw one once, that had 2 buckets up front, a bench seat in the back, and a sunpad on the engine hatch. Powered by a 260 Merc.-alpha drive, with thru-hull exhuast.
Nice little lake boat! I have never seen another one.

I believe thats a powerquest boat.

Re: 80's vintage - 18' powerplay
 

They did make a boat like that.
Someone on the board has one for sale.

Re: 80's vintage - 18' powerplay
 

It is what's now known as Powerquest, and Travis has one for sale. Send him a PM or read here...

DUH... I stand corrected.:crazy:
That is the one I was thinking of.

Re: 80's vintage - 18' powerplay
 

but when they were built it was a" Power Play" out of Holland Michigan great boats hold there value like a vette, wish I had one. The original hull was called a Baron and the owner is on the board "Baron Marine" Todd can tell you all you need to know and then some.Search Baron Marine and I'll bet you can find all sorts of stuff right here on OSO.

I also have one for sale . But not as nice as Travis's.
It is a great Lake/Bay boat. Wish it was 3 ft bigger but i need
something a little bigger . Long Island Sound gets a little ruff.
2 Buckets in front bench in rear. deep v no pad under hull.
Currently listed on Scream and Fly in under 20 ft

Ps, it is a powerquest But says Powerplay on the sides
Company split ?

Daddio - where do you boat on LIS? There are a few of us out of Norwalk. I could imagine that it's a bit bumpy out there for a boat that size especially if you're getting on the throttle :eek:

Re: 80's vintage - 18' powerplay
 

No...They started as Powerplay. When the real PP found out they made them change. I dont think they even knew PP existed when they did that. PP was not well known up here before The internet

Re: 80's vintage - 18' powerplay
 

I am in Niantic CT but go over to Orient Point , Greenport ,
Montauk and sometimes to Watch Hill RI . Like I said
"If it was 3 ft longer" Id keep it .

18 powerplay
 

Just bought 1989 18 foot powerplay same as the pics before my post. needs some work but thought it was a cool boat for the money. it has a merc. 305 ci. but it is an open bow. transom exaust. will take pics if you are still looking or interested. It needs a buff job and some interior work good fixer-upper runs great. Post back if interested otherwise I am going to restore it before spring and run it around as a second boat untill someone makes me a reasonable offer. The way gas is going my 42 may get a few less hours this summer.
