33 ride info opinions
How does the 33 ride. How about porpoising or any other quirky items maybe.
|
You won't be disappointed, they ride great with no porpoising. Can hold its own against most boats... Not going to win any top speed runs but still fast and really shines when the waves pick up
|
Predictable, fast for a conventional hull, no rattles, solid ride, loves chop.
|
Hows the rigging on the boats. Meaning is it clean and neat. Like the wiring is it all done fairly nice. I see to many boats with hanging wires and crap. Is there plenty of room in the engine compartment for normal maintinence. My old mystique was tight in front of the motors.
|
Rigging on every Powerplay is top notch. With a Powerplay the only regret you will ever have is when you sell it.

Nice looking powerplay my 28 kinda close on color scheme single 725 goas about 80 and there are no cats around us in boston. but nothing rides nicer in like 3 footers it runs better on top of waves at 60 or 65 than at 40 unbelievable hull . very happy
|
There isn't a manufacturer out there that has anything on powerplay when it comes to clean rigging.

ya i can see the 28 hatch is at least a foot shorter and my single was set a little lower in the compartment than standard . my pully s almost touch but all kinds of room on sides to work on motor. but looking at the pic it almost seems jays motors are back closer to the transom ..is that also possible,
I remember the pics of the 28 twin that was for sale in FL and it looked almost impossible to work on the engines since they are so tight in there. The extra room in the engine compartment on the 33's is nice. More boats should be built like that. The pulleys on my engine almost touch the back seat in my boat also. |

His boat is a Bravo boat so I don't think they can be any farther back.

For sure the PP's are rare, but they are at the top of my list when I do move up. I think only 3 of them back home in MI, PPJays is the only one I have seen in person. I have not heard of any being down here in VA.

AJ. Do you ever think about selling yours. I know you did a lot of work to it. But just asking. Just curious.
|
Should have asked me last night when I was putting on a new fuel pump, lol. Damned ethanol. But here and there I think about it and trying to pick up a 38 but most of the 38's are just so far out of reach I don't know how I could manage it. If I listed it, it would go up for 80k, and I wouldn't move faroff of that. It's ridiculously clean, i know everyone says that but this one is for real. 100% fresh water from new, and a lot of upgrades... In the middle of new livorsi gauges to go with the new power. Shorties are next and the next gen zero effort controls.
|
Cool. I like your boat. I really like the 2004 or 5 one that was torn apart. But that would cost a lot of money to repower engines and drives wiring and the expensive pop up stuff. You would almost have to give that boat away. Its a shame , its such a nice boat.
Is these boats tight to work in for maintinece like that. |
Can any of you tell me about the early 33s compared to the later 33s that have upgraded or higher hull sides. Any other differences in the hulls, is one better than the other.
How about compareing 33s to a 35 ts cigarette. Thoughts |

[ATTACH=CONFIG]525658[/ATTACH] We had diamond plate in the bilge just like in the pic and had Danny stop the fuel tanks at the bulk head. Would love to see more pics of that boat. |
This boat did have 500hp's... It's a 95 and had the stripe that turned into checkers originally. It is now all white.
|
I looked at some other pics also last night. Definitely the boat I rigged and ran for a friend of mine. We had a lot of fun with it. It ran 84mph light on fuel.

The people who left me messages about the boat today one of you did not leave a number, so I apologize but I can't call you back but would be happy to. Please feel free to call me again. Also your pm box is full. Thanks

Anybody want to buy a clean 24/7? With all these great deals on PP's lately I need to move up but I can't afford 2 boats!!
|
I did buy it from a guy out of Louisiana. No sir I am in the process of moving and have not listed it anywhere yet.. The name is painted on the boat. The guys I spoke with I promise I will do my best to get you the pictures over the weekend. Just have had no time between work and moving. And no sir you are not wrong I agree 40K is a great price for one of these boats. Every time someone calls and we talk about it I have second thoughts and start trying to figure out a way to work out keeping it LOL...
Also AJ thank you for putting the pic up. I have tried to pull some from Sweede's site like that and couldn't figure out how to |
