Steve, after the 38's consoles are wired up how are they installed to the hull/deck structure? Glassed in from behind? Bolted to gunnel?

Steve 1,
I always thought PP were some of the nicests boats out there in there time and still even now... A buddy had a beautifull 33' that ran like a TG.. Kudos to you and the crew that brought us these beautiful rigs!!!!

I was a piece of the puzzle Danny put together in fact I came back from Kuwait to tool the new 38 Powerplay then 9/11 and never returned.

Bolted was the plan from day one as the sliding door has a critical fit and Danny wanted the reveals and margin's exact.

I always thought PPs were perfectly built. When Dan took me through the shop seven years ago I never saw any flaws in the five boats I looked at, both inside and out. I would say he came as close to building a perfect boat as anyone in the industry.

Powerplay, Pedro Pulling a 38 Hull, that bay in the back was where the 38 Hulls were built nothing else was in there except that mold..

I don't recall a broken gimbal or oil... Years ago I was looking at a twin BB 28 and recieved many PM's saying to walk away. Just curious if it was the same one...

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!

Yeah weather hasn't been great but this weekend was and next is looking pretty good too:drink:

Heres a few pics of it when it first came up for sale. As you can see by the graphics its not the same boat as the link to the craigslist boat:

Wally 06-21-2010 09:37 AM

What a shame....that was my old boat. It was one of the best handling, riding boats I've ever owned.

Wally 06-21-2010 11:46 AM

Wes...any history on what happened to it if you know? The story i heard when that boat came up for sale...(and thats where i got the pics from)....was either the gimbal broke during a poker run and sank the boat....or the boat sank at the dock and when it hit bottom it broke the gimbal....not sure what exactly the story is but seems like it was in the drink for sure... :(
That wouldnt keep me from buying the boat though...know how they are made and liking projects i would redo this boat and use it no problem :)

The story I got was that the boat hit something on the way home at night. No clue as to what it was. The boat was tied up and apparently sank at the dock overnight.

nice headliner.. no flaws will be seen by the underside of the glass.. If I had to buy a boat this instance .. I would build or buy a 38 PP or the new 41 Pantera from Pepe.. Both my favorites at the moment.
