I know your Sutphen has 500's ? correct ?
If a 38 TG outruns u with the same power ,,,ha....u need to stay in your car !!!
And i liked u once .LOL

First, I due boat alot on Lake George but I have had my boat on many other bodies of water also. In fact my test drive when I purchase it from Hideway in Pompano was in 6' seas off of Lighthouse Point. I do know what rough water is.

Second, In none of my posts did I ever say that a 33 Powerplay rides better than a 38 Cigerette. I did say with equal power I think a 33 PP could stay with a 38 Cig in normal rough conditions and be more reliable. I think the engines and drive would hold up better on a lite boat rather than (as you said) an old heavy Cigerette.

Third, As to the original question, I still think he is better off keeping his Powerplay.

Well there are alot of opinions thats for sure and I have never rode in a cig but I will tell that I boat on Oneida lake a 30 mile long shallow lake on most days there are 4 foot chops and on somedays there are six foot rolls one after another there are a couple of guys that I know up here that have been on the ocean many of times and they have told me that this lake is worse than the ocean and I can tell you that on the six foot days all the boat go in even the cops and we are out there having fun everyone I have ever taking out on it is very impressed in the rough water even me. I guess I'm going to have to take a ride on the gun and see I like to try and update my toys & vehicles so I just thought maybe now would be a good time to find a deal on a boat figured if I was going to up grade larger would be better .Thank you all you guys are great

How come I didn't see a another Powerplay last year at the Swamp Poker Run on Oneida Lake. I was there.

ps. my avatar pic is from the run on Oneida Lake

Here's my 2 cents I have been in both. It comes down to MONEY if you got the budget the 38 Cigarette is nice and will have a lot more cock pit room and amities but it will take a lot more HP to get the speeds of the 33 PP and along with the more HP comes , engine and drive problems, fuel costs, larger trailer, large tow vehicle, larger dock space and so on. Also remember the the World Champion boats your talking about were layed up for racing, lighter, beefed up bracing under bow deck. Make yourself happy Get the boat YOUR dreaming of you only live once!!!!!!!!

when was it

Have you been out on the Lake yet this year. I have parties and poker runs every weekend in June. I will be up there by the July 4th week. Hope to see you on the water.

It was in June or July last year. I have pic but can't post them here my membership has run out.

Hey Goin' Nuts - Ask this same question in the General Discussion forum so that you can get some unbiased opinions.

I have never ridden in a PP but I can promise that a 33 PP doesn't ride as well as a Top Gun, and anyone that tries to argue that has lost their mind.....

And if u never been on one ,,,how would u know ???
