Powerplay 38 Corebonding, I mentioned the core perforations that Danny even hand drilled on one occasion ,you can see the port side is done and that is exactly right,The excess priming resin and Corebond adhesive has been removed from the bond-line and is on top of the sheet ready for cleanup giving us the desired 1 MM bondline.

Steve when you bag the core down do you still use a perforated bleeder ply and breather ply? Are there any times when you dont use these two consumables when bagging?

Dave Hi ,I use bubble pack under the bag for core bonding (1/2") bubbles faced down, to allow the excess paste and priming resin to come to the surface this method provides some space for their accumulation , even with the Epoxy core bonding materials such as Spa Bond same mentality. Thick bond line is asking for trouble after 1 MM look out. The picture looking at the edge of the corecell you can see impressions the bubble pack left in the paste on the edge.

how about a 92, 25' . The open fish boat shows how pp started out with cobra heritage ( by a french guy no less)and vastly improved keeping the great hull design. Indy you had a really nice boat and the new mold is way to go. Btw, I bought the pp fiberglass shop and contents at the auction and all of the materials and tools I got were fist rate and creative. Still using it today on all sorts of repairs. 3nd pic is my old cobra (the sweden sticky boat). Steve, best thread ever, and yes that was a sundance marine sticker.
That Yellow Boat was "Nicks Italian Kitchen", I think when built and there was a picture of it in the Powerplay offices somewhere,Laidup at Elswick's joint back in the day.

The Navy boat had less than 60 hours on it as of last year (boat is a 2003/04) when the owner removed the 525/XR combo and re-rigged it as a 700/NXT boat. Boat taps the door on 100 mph and was still being dialed in. It has been on Lake Mead a few times and has only seen the Pacific a couple of times in its lifetime. The owner is a fanatic who has a neat collection of cars/boats all of which are stored in a museum quality warehouse.
This is easily the most perfect Danny built Powerplay in existence. The boat is not for sale and being that the guy still owns the car his wife drove to high school (he located, restored and gave it to her as a present) you can probably expect it to be in his collection forever......
