    Just got my 28 Powerplay delivered
    #1
    Hey Guys I just got my new 99 28 Powerplay with twin small blocks delivered. It looks like it will handle the rough water pretty well. I can't wait to get it in the water after some major detailing.

    Cool ride. That has to be pretty rare. I don't think I have seen a 28 PP before.

    They made as many as of the 33's ,or close.
    I did not know they made them with SB togh .

    Be carefull,,,they love to hook ,,always keep the nose up ,they need to run loose.

    I was told there was only around 13 28's built, and of those only 3-4 were singles like mine! I didn't know any were small blocks either.

    So is it sounds like a bow lifting prop would be beneficial on these.

    I think with the SB u can run them out ,,hence the less weight in the back versus the BB ,,,,may handle the same as a BB turning in and pick up a little speed ??

    On my 33 with boxes and 650's i turned them out aswell,,,and gained some speed ,,,!!!!!!!!!!
    Handling wise ,,,mhhhh ..really did not make a diffrents on the boat.

    Are you referring to the 28' specifically? My friend had a 33' for a number of years that ran low 90's and it never hooked, it was solid as a rock.

    My 33 never hooked either,,,but i stuffed it once. LOL
    And yes the 28's like to hook ,,bow steer,,because its basicly the first 28 feet of the 33 !!!! So less running surface .
    But any ways,,,GREAT BOAT !!!!!!

    Huh? Where do you get your information? There was about 6 to 8 sterndrive 28s made, max. They were made from the old Cobra hull, which was derived from the 27 Magnum and 28 Cigarette hulls.

    There was never a 28 hull mold, the 33' was dammed. There was however a dedicated 28 deck mold.

    Your Powerplay is an excellent boat, made well and will take a beating. By '99 all the kinks had been worked out of the hull so it'll track straight and fly right if you're trimmed properly.

    As you've probably already found out, the boat responds well to trim, just a little adjustment here and there and the hull will respond quickly. Tabs are usually just used for getting on plane and leveling out the boat in a cross wind.

    I miss my 33' like crazy, but there's always another boat.

    Never worked there, but I know a lot about them. And there weren't many 28s made, maybe 12 or so in different configurations.
