Mark the floor material was NOT our first choice either. We have plans to develop a fiberglass inner liner for the cockpit on the 23. On the first one we had to make sure the seat would turn, the arm rest were the correct height, the placement of the gas tank etc. We wanted something other than just carpet for the sole so .... The flexiteak is easy to clean won't mildew or rot and can be replace with carpet if the new buyer would prefer. It will take us a couple three boats to finish the design on the liner but will will offer the sole with whatever material the customer would like. Thanks Scott

PPSales, I was also wondering about the teak floor, as I don't think it would be my first choice. As for the sides of the boat, full colors are popular right now. Make the tribal symbol a decal so it can be an option. Do the new PP's have an official logo

To be honest I don't like it. I'm not a tribal fan. If it is for a certain boat fine, but as the company logo I would stick with something more classic that won't be as dated. My .02.

I like the floor and keep your cotton pickin` hands off the 38 mold. The black 38 that was at the Miami show a few years ago had one of the straightest hulls I have ever seen. That, coupled with the clean unclutterd design. Made for a beautifull boat. Please resist the temptation to ''Frankenstein'' another one.

Sweet - glad to hear something is being done with those molds, they were always one of my favorites and are too good of a design to let fade away. Where does / is Tom planning on setting up shop?

And I agree on the logo, not a tribal fan - kinda trendy, go with something a bit more classic and that has some staying power visually.

PPS...I guess I'm with the others in stating that the tribal thing should only be done in vinyl. It seems to be more of a west coast thing and will be a dated design in the not too distant future IMHO. PowerPlay has always been about classic So. FL looks & rugged offshore performance, not trendy west coast fads. I think your target market is more of the traditional east coast rough water mentality buyers. If you take a look at JROMY's boat, it is one of the last PPs made, has contemporary graphics and is stunning to say the least. Not to mention that it's a frickin beast in Long Island Sound I'm sure he'll be launching out of Norwalk many times this summer with me. It's cool to see two PPs running out of the harbor We'll let you know when we do.

My boat in NYC...Hard to beat these lines!

Here is a close up of the tribal logo we put on the back of the co pilot's seat. Scott

I'd pass on the tribal logo. Powerplay is just what Indy said.
