Kinda looks like it says PowerPlay...I was hoping for another 10' LOL

It is a boat from Tom Mason, and a few other folks from South Florida. Its a cool little boat. I saw the molds a few weeks ago.

Re: Is this the 23 Powerplay from T. Mason

Looks like an open fish boat boat with a deck tossed on what a disappointment for the powerplay name.

Tom Mason Bought Powerplay at the bankruptcy auction of Powerplay about two years ago. Tom Mason sold Midnight Express last April. The 23 was a pet project of Tom and his son, Tommy. They are going to be selling the 23 O/B Sportdeck, 33 I/O Sportdeck, 33 O/B Sportdeck, 33 I/O Center Console, 33 O/B Center Console, 38 O/B Sportdeck, and 38 I/O sportdeck.
You really need to see the new 23 in person before you pass any judgement. The hull is based on a classic, great riding design with some very innovative modern features. An intregrated transom with boarding steps on both sides; retractable boarding ladder; hydraulic rear bench; flip-up center-dash for easy cabin access; ample cockpit storage; the best hardware available; Mercury Verado power; non-skid around the entire perimeter for safe boarding; flexi-teak in the cockpit; GPS, VHF, Stereo, are just some of the features.
This is a boat with such class it raises the bar for Powerplay. The future of Powerplay should be considered very bright by many of you who own, have owned, and will own them. Tom will always do what he says, so look forward to what Tom and his son, Tommy will do with this company.

You seem to know the Masons..... is there anyway to get a hold of them or get better pictures of the 23'. From your description it sounds like a winner. I have always thought that Spectre should make a closed deck from their 24 CC. They also have the built in bracket/platform. It looks like Powerplay beat them to the punch.

Chris, I passed your info through Pat at Active Thunder. Tom and Pat are neighbors. You should hear something soon.

Thanks Bro !

That would be awsome if the start building POWERPLAYS again. Also if they built it to Dan's standards of quality. I would probably be 2nd in line to buy a 38.These boats rock!

Any information about plans for a stepped 33?

23 powerplay
 

Just got back from fla, took a test run w/ Tom on the new 23 that I put a deposit on in AC. Great boat, ran awesome. Cant wait to take delivery. Asked Tom to remove the tribal, and do something a little more traditional PP.

Can you tell us about the performance and $$$ ? PM me if you like!

Congrats, cool boat! Good call on the tribal removal!!

Tom is still tweaking the boat until it performs to his satisfaction(engine changes). Will let you know when he is done. Boat is real sweet, to bad its for my wife.

What happened to this "new" Powerplay line?

I thought Latitude had the 33' mold ? I know Dolphin Boats has the 25.

Not really passing judgement or anything, it might be a great boat and possibly what would keep a small company alive since the product would be at the reach of more people.

What gave Powerplay it's distinction amoungst such a great variety of builders was the attention to detail. If you look at the outside, sides of a powerplay boat they are straight. Ask any painter, graphics guy, because they love that about the brand. If they have that attention to detail and are building on Powerplay molds then best of luck. I fully support them...

Great question, does anyone know?

It was a great little boat but needed more r&d. From what I understand Tom Mason had built a second one for himself in red. The hull design and looks were awesome it just needed an upgrade on some of the hardware that was installed. It would have been fine if it never went over 40mph but at 60 it needed HD rigging. Part of the problem was me because he wanted to make me a new boat with some changes and I insisted on takiing the one off the floor. I should have listened. If Tom ever starts to make these again and upgrades the hardware it should take off once the market changes. Im not so sure how interested he is in going full scale production though, I know the purchase of Power Play from Danny had alot to do with boat show points and the sale of Midnight Express. If he ever decides to produce them and does upgrade the hardware it will be a great boat. Tom was a pleasure to deal with and a perfect gentleman. I would def buy from him again he is a stand up business man.

Any more developments in the past year with this 23' ?

bump on how these run

was this the chime walking model?

I have to ask again is this a dead project (23 Powerplay)?? Is Tom Mason located in FL?

I am a Certified Mercury/MerCruiser Technician (of 14yrs) and have a lot of marine experience as well as high-performance rigging/racing experience. Working in the industry, and considering the lingering problem economy, I think we are going to see a resurgence of smaller more purpose built and reasonably priced boats. Boats other than the hundreds of 40mph cookie-cutter bowriders/cuddys made by the major boat-builders. It would be cool to see some semi-custom 22-25ft 'true' outboard performance boats built here in FL.

Thanks.....Jason

The 23' is not a "Dead Model", it is actually alive and well. Anyone with any interest in this boat send me a pm and i'll be happy to answer any questions you might have.

are you building them???
