Wish there were more 28.
Needle in a hay stack...........

They are kind of rare.

Nice thread
 

Good to see you being productive over here buddy and not skeerin the chillins. :D

Sir how are you doing? This keeps me busy.

You just got to get lucky.:drink:

I believe there's only 2-3 singles, 1 twin OB (or 2, cowisl knows) and the rest of the 12-13 twins, not sure if any were SBC.

Should run pretty good with twin 500's, but not a lot of room in the bilge.

Here is my small block 28. I'm suprised how loaded it was with full Latham steering.

Very nice! What does it run?

Paint is similar to mine, very timeless.:drink:

I will find one......
Untill then i will keep saving.
Because a long enough wait will only mean 33.

I'm doing well my friend and you?
And yes, I could see how this has kept you busy as usual great info and pics.
Any new projects in the works or, still hedging your bets?

I do also.. My 07 43 NT with 480hp Yanmars and asd-8's did 74.2...at 81 with ...dont know how much hp or size diesels...on the PP... thats pretty good... Loved the boat just had a min. of 80mph I needed to hit....A good project would be 480 yanmars and asd-8's.. or the 480 Cummins and Nxt's....are you ready for July..sometime..:drink:

Sir ready anytime.

Jeff the 38 Powerplay I put up had 440 HP Engines and 2 Speeds, the guys said when it shifted the boat would pin you back in the seat.

I like the sounds of that, I would think the balance with the SBCs would be better than twin BB's. Keep us posted of the outcome.

I think my single BB has a pretty good balance. Gets on plane quick and seems to fly level. I haven't been in any other 28's though to compare.

ever install jack plates on the open fish 33'?

No not on the open fish 33.

yours is :)

Guys, anyone have a top speed on this Diesel?

THERE IS A 33 POWERPLAY -POKER RUN/RACE HULL 1988 VINTAGE BRAND NEW NEVER RIGGED IN THE FOR SALE SECTION FOR THOSE WHO HAVE THE BUG!!

I SAY A DIAMOND IN THE RUFF!!!....PROBALLY NEVER SEE ANOTHER ONE OF THESE AGAIN!!:bigbird:

Just curious. Was this the one that sank? I was interested in a twin 28 before I bought the 33. The 33 is a lil boring up here unless there is a storm front moving through LOL...:lolhit:

Hey Steve, thanks for keeping this going still. How soon can we expect more pics of how hey are built? Dan have any good stories?

In the low 70's. I will ask pat today. Its fully loaded with ac etc.

Steve, it runs 70-73 ...thru almost anything, I appreciate all the pic's and info as I'm sure all the other peeps following this thread are...Chris, your boat is really a nice piece now...what a great project find it was...If you guy's know of a buyer, i have that 95 610's boat available...Steve do you have any pic's from back in the day of it? Thanks, Marc @PMT

The pictures of the construction and mold building are being dug out now. I am sure Danny has a lot of cool stories about his Powerplay, I enjoyed working there.

Hey thanks ,Yes there are Photos of everything just finding them.

If you are refering to the one that had the busted gimbal and oil all over the dash etc...then no its a different boat. I thought the same thing and had to go look at my pics of that sunken one. There has been discussion about the "sinking" on here as well....not sure if its the current owner or the previous seller but they stated that "someone" just poored oil all over the boat hoping to get a better price and claim it was a sinking when it wasnt....

the 28 is in very nice shape(No I don't know the owner) and was a computer guys boat from atlanta . Almost got it once, about 3 years ago but was outbid. It had 502 efi's in it then but was in super nice shape. 28's are great boats but it's just not the 33'.

Which is every single weekend (since I bought my boat anyways)!:eek:

I was out a few times last summer in very windy days where a 33 would have been good, a 38 better. Its a bad sign when its a sunny day, and you don't see another boat on the water (other than people idling near shore basically) just because of wind!
