His boats were always first class, and never left the shop until they passed his final inspection. He might have been difficult to deal with at times, but, you always got a hell of a lot more than you paid for. With Steve and the rest of the crew, putting your DREAM together, you were proud of the the final product. That was not the norm in the South Florida boat building business. Over the years I had the opportunity to sell a few PP's and never once, had an unhappy customer. Steve, thanks for a great thread, and keep up the good work. |

Steve, on post 1585, I am surprised to see the cockpit as an intregral part of the deck. Don't get me wrong, I think it's great, I would also think that would be a difficult pull. What sort of draft did you need on the sides of the cockpit to be able to pull that long (deep) of a section from the mold?

Steve great thread thanks for doing this, it is awesome that your taking the time for this! I do have a question about the 33' decks, did you ever find that there was alot of flex in the deck of the 33'? have you had complaints about this? or have seen this your self? I have read more about the PP 33' since you started this thread the boat seems to be built top notch I find it strange after you showing us the construction that the deck would flex and be weak. Can you shine some light on this for me? I love the boats and looking for the next ride and this thread has really got me looking at the PP more than ever! Thanks!!!

I have not been aware of any unacceptable flex in a 33 deck it is a cored structure and the finishers when polishing and final detail would work on it, we had one guy heaver than me, he weighed 250 on it polishing and no deflection. The boss always had a production boat of his own and ran the boats hard in the open ocean. |
