Well lets hope the new owners maintain the high bar you have set! Looking at this thread they should have their work cut out for them.

The Molds represent a LOT of hard work but Danny was able to bring out the best in most of the crew,before the new molds were on line it was the construction ,outfitting and the eye for detail that got the place running.

I had to take a Pain pill after working on that mess, I lost a lot of respect for Fountain after last night. And I have the right to bash them because it's mine.:eek: Your work is outstanding.:drink:

That was the way PP was ran Very detail orientated , Back in 88 a friend an Great painter BTW used to do painting for Dan , I was going to work for Powerplay then and asked what kind of a Boss he was ,First word "Picky" then "Very Picky",OK. More pictures coming

This is one funny post!!! :lolhit:

X6 that was a good one and I wish you the best and safe boating.

Thanks,
The sad part is that the wiring in my 1978 Chris Craft looks better than the Fountain.:eek:
I have not worked on a Powerplay but I can say the the best wiring I have seen have was on a Nor-Tech, Cig and a Formula, some of the Donzi were ok but a Baja, Fountain, Checkmate, and a few others were bad. I would pay good money just to have 2 more inches of wire on each gauge.

Thanks for bringing us such an outstanding thread. I was only generally familiar with this manufacturer, but seeing the real quality and thought that went into these boats is a revelation. Truly top-notch work, and a great part of the performance boating legacy. :drink:

Sir you are welcome and thank you for the nice comment ,Please follow this thread as I have a lot more to post.

Thanks for all the updates Steve, incredible pics.

Can't wait for more 28's to show up in your pile to post.:drink:

You are welcome and I am digging they will be found.

Steve, it cant be said enough times how much we all appriciate these postings! :cool:
And your thread on the Allen/Apache has given me a few new ideas for some of my own fiberglass projects! The quasi tonge-groove foam strips for building the boat sides is just genius! Many thanks for the time your are taking posting this all up! :D

I also have quite a few pics of the powerplays but mostly the 25's I have toyed with the idea of having Karl's guys build the hull for me and i rig them up and bring them back to market....i just cant seem to get all the stars alighned to dso it yet! And the Molds just sit at Karls place shrink wraped :( He is still toying with the idea of pulling one out of the molds to streatch it to a 28 CC with built in box for the O/B's but like me he has yet to get his stuff in order as well :D

Oh and i think Karl even had 1 or 2 of the Powerplay guys working for him after powerplay folded....

Sir I thank you for reading and following the threads and Most of all for Nice comments like this and You are very welcome.

Karl Has done a fantastic job down there, some way cool boats and processes, I wish him the best

He was pretty busy with the new Bay Boat and the super skiffs a while back ,there is a lot of nice people there and he will take it to the next level.

Yeah that 20 bay turned out very cool. They took it to a red fish turny the year before...all the bass boats followed the coast line around the bay they were on while Karl bolted across the bay through 2-4' chop at full speed!(He topped out at 57mph with the small O/B they had :D they got to the other side of the bay just at the same time as the bass boats that were clipping along the shore line at 70-80mph and shocked all the fisherman! :D Guess those crazy seats realy do work! :D

Sorry to get off the Powerplay line...to bring it back on track do you happen to have any pics of the 25's going together?

i thought they where both SD ,,just one with I/O and one with Outboard !!!???? mmmmmhhhhhh:party-smiley-004:

LOL check out the seats in that boat!!!! Nice Job.
