Thanks!
 

Steve - thanks once again for a fascinating thread about these boats that a lot of us grew up admiring, and several of us are lucky enough to own! The pictures, history, etc. are definately the best thing to hit OSO in a long time!

Sir thank you for the nice comment Powerplay was a memorable time in my life and I never get tired of looking at the boats.

This boat would seem to me to be underpowered. Couldn't four be made to fit?

Cat no problem with a Quad Package and a good idea.

I love quads, 300s or Verados. Midnight Express now Deep Impact they just look b!tchin'. I saw a pic of a rib at a dock the dam thing had 8 or 10 hanging off the transom!! :eek:

Good points, plus you get your boat back ,the motors are off the transom and easy to service.

Steve,

Thank-you for the best thread ever!

Hey thats me on the back of the boat

Post #434 looks like (Active's) 2000 Powerplay.

Have Hot Tub..Will Travel:grinser010:

Sir LMAO, Jeff how are you doing?

You are very welcome and thanks for the Nice comment.

Im doing great..how about you..looking forward to the next generation of these PP's.. the only two boats in its class with big headroom is a 38PP or the 37OL..both great boats...with great heritage..Im waiting till end of year before I decide if I buy used and redo or get a New Epic..depends on how the top deck will look..and if someone who I know is working on it..it will look good along with an excellent paint design..

Thank you for your post ,It needed a bit of a rebuild from Cougar.

Jeff best of luck you always had way cool equipment and I look forward to seeing the new boat. Regards.

Thank you .

Cat you can see the space on the back of this boat that you gain with the outboards.they were a good idea for a option as Powerplay was rooted in triple outboard boats since day one.

But again this Diesel is my favorite 38 with arnesons nothing to break.


http://i45.tinypic.com/307m1s1.jpg

I think I did the repair

I was in and out of 188st one time doing a re-rig on the #6 Arneson Boat and a Aluminum transom plate that Clive and Brownie wanted on it,You guys were a real nice group of professional people to work with.The powerplay Cat you guys had in Smitty's race shop.

I drove the 38 outboard when it had the 250xs as well as the 275 verados. It jumped on plane, rode dry, and cruised comfortably at 60 through 2-4' seas. With the steps the bow just stayed planted with minimal porpoising. It was very reassuring with the deep cockpit freeboard. I am 6' so seeing over The bow was never an issue.
We went to the Miami SBI races in 2004 and again in 2005 in the boat In solid 4' and enjoyed the ride.
The engine compartment was deleted from this boat and a HUGE U-shaped lounge was added. The hatch ram is still utilized for a smaller access hatch for the fender storage.
The current owner put a Bimini top on it which really allows you to cruise in comfort.
I owned a 2005 33 I/O CC with 496's. The boat went 74 all day long with bravo one 28's. The 33 was so reassuring in rough stuff and still a practical boat for relaxing once you arrived. I know I am looking forward to Powerplay's ressurection next year.

Thank you for the that post and the time you put into it, was nice reading ,There is an unreal pictorial history of these boats coming up.

Can't Touch This

Powerplay 25 Thank you for the pictures ,that is a fast 38!!

Danny did a 25 for a guy in the Islands with a Pirate theme Way cool I have one photo in the file of it I have found so far.

I think the pirate themed boat is for sale with 2004 250XS mercs. If I remember correctly it was a white boat with red and black skulls painted on the stern and bow.

Here it is
