Is the PP 25' 22 degree?
 

A 25 with twins would be a nice manageable boat until I get a bigger one but I'm concerned about getting the snot beat out of me on Long Island Sound in anything less than a 24 degree with a sharp entry, especially a little doinker like a 25' boat. Anybody know what the 25 is?

I believe it is a 22 with a small pad. I also believe the beam is 8 1/2.

here is the back.... get the ob model.. it handles rough stuff pretty good

u mean it handle fuc*ing good ahah

My 28 is 24 and ya it looks like the 25 is 22 but my 28 has 8ft beam I'm sure of that also so would the 25 have a bigger beam than the 28 ?

28 is 8ft beam
33 is 8ft beam
25 is 8 1/2 ft beam

Most brochures list the beam on the 25 at 8' 4" and the 25 at 8' 6". But, I did see one brochure listing the beam on the 33 at 8'.

Brochure on 28 is page 57 on history of power play boats 8ft beam also

Definitely confusing! This shows it at 8' 4".

the 28 is a shortened 33, so definitively 8'

I guess the beams on these boats will remain a mystery! :confused:

Back to the topic. I wouldn't let the 22*(if it is that) deadrise at the transom scare me on proven boat like PP. A lot more comes into play than just the transom angle IMO.

you mean the 25 brochure ? ya it probably is and you can tell its a different deadrise from the 28 and the 33 more like a checkmate but obviously better and stronger so the 25 8 4 inch and 22 deadrise and 28 and 33 8 ft and 24 deadrise

No the brochure in the link is for the 33.

I have never looked at that i di know that the 28 brochure is 8 and also have had more than a couple of guys say that the 28 is the same hull as the 33 and just blocked off the mold 4ft aprox 7 inch. So that is interesting. Ok am i off the mark by saying that maybe the 33 is 8 4 at the back end of hull the tapers in as it goas forward and that is why back end of 28 is 8ft TELL ME LIKE IT IS AM I MAKING ANY SENSE

And the 28 brochure wieght 2350 only 250 more than the 25

Our old 28' weighed way more than 2350!!

That is the bare hull weight. But who know how accurate it is! LOL

ha- I know. don't think it is too accurate :)

Just going by the brochure on page 57 of history of powerplay boats my boat is the boat on the page and it says 24 deadrise 28 1 inch and 2350 weight and probably is with no motors or interior ? who knows but my boat is i think 5000 or 5200 with my single big block.

token white guy..... lol

What's the other boat running alongside?

Big block weighs about 1200lbs, bravo and gimbal assy 300?, interior and rigging 1000-1200? Might be close???

other boat is a "solid powerboat" ( don't know this brand) with a 300 etec

? ????

it's an answer to scarab63 question

Ya it is running pretty good and is that a center consol?

yep, 26ft center console
