yeah it did race with 4's but not the ones on it now. also, ask steve about my layup. it is prolly the lightest and toughest 33 PP ever built. 540's and 4's are about the most reliable set-up to run 90+mph that you can get on a 33.

hey steve im sure when the B-1 race boat was built as a staggered boat, it was CG'd accordingly. now that its been transformed to a side by side number 4 boat, how would the balance and handling be affected ? and also could enuff weigh have been moved around to compensate for the new configuration or is there to much weight in her transom with the big blocks, trannies and 4 all side by side...thoughts ?

the rear two saddle tanks have been pulled, and some cabin weight has been added from finishing it to correct the cg problem. now she holds 160 or so gallons between the two rear saddle tanks and the bow tank.

That boat was the Powerplay Factory raceboat as with all powerplays nothing was spared on the construction and it was a source of pride for the whole company,"B" class in those days was some real racing.

So,

Not sure if anyone has asked, but how is Danny doing? He had his problems, but went away quietly, hope he is doing well.

There's no need to rush, we'll keep coming back for more as long as you keep putting up the pics and info.

Thanks again.
