Sir as you can see I have made your gorgeous boat the center piece of this thread and you are most welcome this has brought back a lot of memories for me and I most certainly will tell Danny when I see him.My Best Regards and Safe Boating

Beautiful 33 SS Thank you for posting the pictures and the nice comment.

I think that is the coolest 38 and Jromys is the coolest 33. How fast did that 38 run?

Powerplay Cougar Cat 1984 Picture they were National Champions "S" 1982 These are the largest Pictures I can put up

I posted a lot of pictures of the 38 Defy'n Gravity build and still have a lot more,That last 33 that is Jeremy's Boat ,When I saw it I told Danny the same thing, That is your Classic 33 Powerplay . The 38 Speed, I have about three numbers let me double check before I post it.

what kind of race speeds do you think they saw with that boat. I love the old race pics :cool:

Dave How have you been? Those "S" Boats had a higher speed than the open class sometimes, they were allowed every modification like the big boats, but were limited to 750 CI instead of a 1000 CI, I seem to recall speeds in the teens ,when talking to them in Smitty"s shop at Cougar 188 st ,I will check and get back.(seem, key word)

Active Fun: fully optioned (a/c, gen.) 38 w/525's ran 82-84
Twin 700/NXT boat also fully optioned runs right at 100. Twin Cobra 750/Imco boat runs low 90's.

And with huge blower engines and #6's boat does well over 120 MPH !!!!!!
( see " CAN'T TOUCH THIS " )

Forgot about John's boat! The only issue he has is running out of fuel. The tank isn't oversized enough to handle the fuel burn of the engines! He has run out of fuel at two poker runs I attended, one "outage" was about 100 FEET from the fuel dock!
