Tell me about the 33 Powerplay...
 

I don't know much about the brand but the 33 looks pretty decent. I'm pretty much locked on ordering a 32 Sunsation Dominator this winter but thought I'd look around in the meantime. How does the 33 compare to the Sunsation? I'm gonna get one (32 Sun) with a set of 496HO's loaded up pretty good with options at around 156,000 "MSRP", and I think I can get it for around 113-116K all said and done. What could I reasonably expect to pay (MSRP is fine) for a similarly configured 33 PP?...

BTW, what kind of performance would I be looking at with 496HO's and can it handle the confused onery waters of the southern Chesapeake Bay/Atlantic area?...

I have outboards so I am guessing, but I would guess 76-78 m.p.h. with the twin 496ho setup. I think sunsation makes a great boat, as I live in Michigan and see a bunch of them, however they are very small for their size. With the included swim platform the 32 feels more like a 30 footer. I love the fact that when you hit/punch the side of their hulls it hurts your hand because they are so solid though. Anyway goodluck with your new boat, and if the price is close or a little higher I would definitely take a hard look at a Powerplay- you will not be dissapointed. Darren

P.S. as for those onery waters, I would choose a powerplay everytime, I was out in some 6-8 footers about 3 weeks ago and I couldn't believe that I was running in them first of all, and 2nd I couldn't believe how solid the boat felt when it came back in the water after rolling off of the big lake michigan rollers. (my .02)

What few pictures I've seen they look a little bit like the Active Thunders from above and a little like the Cig from the side. For a fairly standard package with AC, vacu-flush, standard graphics, and twin 496HO's what would be a fairly good guess on the "MSRP" for this kind of setup? Also, how's the warranty support, is there dealers or is it like AT where you'd have to take it down to the factory for anything outside of the Merc parts? The cockpit kind of reminds a little of the Apache also, not so roomy either especially bench to bolster...

:D THE 33 POWERPLAY IS A 40FT. BOAT , WITH A 33FT.PRICE TAG. I RUN MINE IN THE CHESAPEAK BAY AND THE WATER CAN'T GET ONERY ENOUGH!!! IF YOU HAVE NOT ALL READY BOUGHT A BOAT ,LOOK REAL HARD AT IT . IN BIG WATER MOST PEOPLE DON'T GET TO LOOK VERY LONG. I'M WITH DARREN, YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Reckless,
That's why I bought a 33 just for the reason mentioned above. Handles the water great. It is no comparison to the Sunsation. Take a ride in both and you will see. By the why I'm in the Ches all the time ;)

hey 27 baja? guess you got a new boat,were do you boat in the ches,we should hook up.We have 3 other 33's we boat with, down by the bay bridge. Are you doing any of the local porker runs? 2 may be 3 of us are doing the N.Y.city run in june.I did it last year, water up there is perfect 3-5's just like our powerplays like it! :D

OK, I currently have a 28' Active Thunder. I am seriously looking at the 34 Superboat, 32 AT, and 33 Powerplay. I like the Active thunder because it has allot of free board and a huge cabin. My wife and I sleep on our boat allot. What is the cabin like in the 33 Powerplay? Can you get them with AC, tv/dvd and a porta potty?

I can't speak for the quality now, but when I worked there WE put a lot of emphasis on quality. Powerplays were always a great product when I worked there. There are quite a few of members on this forum that have worked or still work there that might be better suited to ask about the state of the company. With the State of the Company post a few weeks ago I'd be concerned that to save money there might be some corners cut, like I said I don't work there now that's just what I'd be concerned about. Gary and some of the other guys watch this forum and will probably chime in also. I am surprised that Dan doesn't post in here though.

Hey Chris, My buddy has a 32 AT that he's getting 625's built, nice ridding boat. As far as the cabin goes there about the same, and yes you can get all the toy's in them. Go to the Miami show you will see a bad ass 33 there!
