If the 25 was to come back......
 

What model would you like to see first?? :evilb:

I voted twin egg beaters, however the smart money will be CC.

Twin outboard, but 2 stroke, not Verados

710 Illmor :):):)

Why a 2-stroke? just out of curiosity...

Mainly just because I prefer them for performance, but also the boats COG was designed for the weight of 2 strokes.

what was the biggest/heaviest motor at the time when they were in production? I know the 350sci verado is only 134lbs heavier then the 300xs Optimax.....is 260lbs gonna make that big a difference on the back?? I dont know as i have not had a performance O/B before. :)

I would say the biggest heavyiest would have been the evinrude v-8 300. I am sure it would work with the Verado's, just not my preference.

hi wally, that weight difference will surely make a big difference. i have a 25pp with twin 300x's and those motors are a little heavy for the back so i did a little weight distribution to get the boat to
be balanced ok. so i think from first hand experience a pair of 300xs with a little weight distribution would be awsome.

Have you considered putting on a twin engine bracket box? I dont know if it would work in this case but i know they do add floatation.

I like to see a stand up owner/company make them...
I sure would hate to buy a boat and drive to florida to pick it up and find out its a pile of chit....

:drink: nice
They would only be making the fiberglassing/hull aspect of it...the rest of the assembly would be done by others.... :D ;)

I think with a name like PowePlay you need somebody with integrity building them...

I would love to own a 25 PP but with that guy building them I would not give him the sweat of my a$$ for one..

Well they wouldnt be called that anymore.... :D
And he of course wouldn't have a hand in it other then having his guys do the work....but i understand your view on things. The nice thing about it is that Steve1 and Rusty have worked for him in the past along with a pair of laminators that used to work at powerplay can also be brought in to build the hull's if need be...so as far as that quality is concerned i wouldnt have any issues about it ;)

With you involved Wally Im sure the quality will be 100%....

just knowing that someone would benefit thats less than honest is what makes this a $hitty deal..


But Hey ..maybe he could put a PP sticker on the side of that 6-7 year old center console he built and cant sell ...

Isnt that the same boat that made it onto the cover of Hot Boat? I swear I have that issue

Outboard boat with two strokes.

Flotation is great when your sitting still, all that air in the box dont do chit when yer flyin'

That boat would be a turd w/Verado's on it.
The old V-8 OMC's were 550 lbs and actual weight of the Verado's I hear are approx. 150lbs heavier!
I lusted for a 25' PP until seeing one in persion. I'd love to replace my ancient Sonic w/something similar but the PP's cuddy is tiny compared to mine. IMO, you copuld raise the deck lines 3" or 4", keeping the same/similar looks w/a huge improvement to cabin space.

outboard but make sure you stretch the cockpit so there is room inside

I wouldnt put twin Verados onit...too ass heavy

Twin Verados would be much too heavy. The boat was designed with a pair of 2.5's hanging off the back.

Amen. Your motors are the perfect match...reliable hp with low weights
