Amazed at how well these boats take some waves
 
As everyone is aware I bought the 33 PowerplAy from New York a few months ago. I changed both gimble rings, and other little things here and there that it needed. But other than that I've been using the boat every weekend for the last few months. I gotta say it is a night and day different from my previous boat. I've been caught up in bad weather and this boat has absolutely ate everything so far that has been thrown at it im amazed and extremely happy with it. The boat has been basically turn the key and go and I absolutely love it. I'll stop talking and post a few pics lol.

Here is the deck after I gave it some good compound and a wax after. Not bad for a 1992. Of course it had a wrap before so that protected the gel coat which is why it looks so good.

I gotta take more pictures of the boat and post them up. Been too busy enjoying it out on the water lol

Last boat was a 27 avanti with twin Mercury 250 efi's. I wanted a bigger boat to handle the waters where I boat, and of course I missed the sound of the big blocks lol

There is another one here in Tampa in my old place of storage. Very nice looking but zero clue who's it is

Wally 06-04-2015 02:22 PM

So your the one!!! I was wondering if anyone here bought it. I was talking via email to the guy selling her...he had it listed in Craigslist / Naples.....he kept stalling me on getting more pics of it....must have been working the deal all ready! Congrats :)

Nice to see those boats go to some good homes.

Sydwayz 06-04-2015 03:13 PM

That makes 3 - 33s that changed hands this spring. There is one in PA that sold locally as well.

I've definitely been using it!!!! It's such a different ride that my wife complimented on how well it rides and how stable it is In rough seas. We got caught up in I'd say real 4-5 foot seas, boat rode incredible through it. Immediately after the wife was praising how it was a great choice to get a bigger boat. I know people praised the powerplays before but you don't truly understand until you ride in one

PowerPlays don't wake up until the chop does. An absolute joy to drive in choppy waters, takes a lot to upset that hull, it was the perfect boat for Long Island Sound waters...perfect!

You bought a real nice boat there. I put that boat together for a friend of mine some time ago. We ran it here on the east coast for a few years before getting one of Danny's new 33's. It was set up originally as a race boat no cabin and trs drives. PP reworked the transom and we installed a pair of 502's 415hp w/bravos in her. rigged the boat and made a half cabin. Boat then sold to a lady who lived in Punta Gorda. Never got used much after that. Because of the additional bulkheads up front it was a strong boat. Killer in the rough water.

So took it out yesterday gave it some trim and she definitely gets some speed with a little bit of trim. Pegged out the stock mph gauge which goes to 80mph and still pulling, had to let off as we had our kids with us. I'll be downloading the gps app on my phone but should prob do low 80s. Boat had me smiling from ear to ear yesterday!
