HI everybody, i'm going to re rig my powerplay 25 with twin 250 xs's, what do you think about 26 bravo one for this setting ?

Yeah,

We were having Carb issues all day, and killed the batteries trying to start after lunch at the sandbar, decided to get it towed rather than monkeying around with jumpstart etc. Ray is a madman, and will have it running soon, wish I had the Pantera out, the water was nice.

Rick

Get ready - I am going from 2.5s to 3.0 250 XS Sports. All the hardware is different for the hydraulic steering and it's about $4500 for a set. Also, since the 250XS has those umbilical hoses that everything runs through, make sure everything is long enough to go through and will make the new bends.

I am $40k in engines and hardware (no labor included) and I am not on the water yet.

What boat is that 38 SS TD?

its the diesel boat that PMT built. 38PP/asd #8/440yanmar

This is a very cool shot, worth getting a big print of Chris!

ok thanks, what midsection size?

Years back the first Powerplay inboard was Rigged by Mike Nicholson who also did some of Dan's custom paint work in the early days.

The more I keep looking at the pics of these 38's.. the simpler the paint the better..

I've been saying that about offshore boats in general for years. I'm hard pressed to see one that I like anymore.

Hey Steve, We'd be happy to build you and D one....Marc

Love to get into one again...this economy has killed any hopes of that though :( Hope you're doing well!!

Picture 1091 look at the way everything fits on that boat.

+1 that all white 38 looks better an better every time i look at it.

If I ever built a new boat it would get the black hullsides, white deck theme. Oliver's 38 PP was timelessly classic and he copied the theme right off the 35 Playboy that had premiered a couple years earlier. The boat needs very crisp lines to pull it off, if the boat is too rounded out it doesn't look as good. The Powerplays, ATs and Cigs all pull off the look nicely!

I have seen that boat before on FPC runs, never realized it was diesel! Nice boat!

nice boat..

From back in the day when the glass was done in Hollywood and Powerplay assembled and outfitted.

I agree on the 3...but also like the additional headroom down in the cabin of 38.

Another picture powerplay early days Transoms had large knees for the Powerplay triple Bracket and the framing for a huge cockpit, stick built cabin interior ,carpet and cushions I am giving my eyes a rest then back at it tomorrow

Hey Steve...post 1106...did they build the structure in the mold? just wondering as it looks like the bulkheads are not tabbed down yet...i would have thought that would have made for a sloppy fitting later....

Chris, your 38 is looking great!!!

The Hull sides were left free to float until it was Capped then the bulkheads and frames glassed Guaranteeing a perfect job and NO marks.

how many twin bb 28 's were made and did they run as good as a single?

lucky man... 3 good looking boats...

There were 12- 28's total Built, the break down I will have to do some looking for.Should run just fine as a single.

Steve.. how many #6 boats... and did it effect COG slightly..Thanks Jeff

One 38 that I know of has 6's and It ran very well. But I like the Diesels and Arnesons.
