I read something about that recently... said that the kid had just bought it a few weeks prior. Messing with structural integrity is never a smart move.

Why would you take a deck off to install motors?

They didn't. Going off memory they were paid to install new motors and also fix some damage to the boat at the deck/hull joint(incorrectly). They denied repairing the deck.

i believe that is correct and family trying to go after powerplay and now the auction co or dealer who sold the boat to the kid who died with his girl and future mother in law .there are articles if you just play around google powerplay boat crash article and pics

I know they were going after the company the allegedly did the hull repair. I was able to find the article.

very sad for the family and i guess he was running it pretty hard and not a lot of experience .

That's my old PP with me driving and neighbor riding on the Tim's Rivershore Poker run on the Potomac River. Other pics are at my house. This Power Play has a small sit down rear bench seat not stand up. I purchased the boat with no power and rigged it with 572's would run around 98-101 but would snap prop shafts if over trimmed. That was before xr drives were available. Great running and handling boat till you lost a shaft at speed.

That's pretty awesome, post more pics when you get a chance

Just curious, what kind of hp were your 572s making?
