Ok, i am bored and loved the pics and info on Steve1's thread, so i thought i start a thread just about Powerplay, hope that Steve1 will chime in and post some pics....
I also hpe that this thread stays clean and it has nothing to do with any business management stuff of PP ,,just about Boats, how they where build and so on.

The Company build over 300 boats in 23, all are still today SOLID and perfect running if maintained correctly !!!!!!

They are all over the world and performance wise a true champion boat !!!

So lets go !!!!!

Thanks for the thread Dare Devil! I want one of these boats bad!!!!! Did Powerplay33 end up selling his boat? And how do you find these boats for sale? you really do not see too many for sale. I rode in PowerplayJay's 33 last year and wow what a ride loved it.

They are hard to find, because once u got it u really don't want to sell it.
I think 302's is for sale but then again i don't know if wants to or not ..he keeps changing his mind..lol :sifone:

They are so good that nobody wants go get rid of them...i know where there is a 6 man short staggered , brand new , unrigged ..but he is asking i believe 16 K for it ...and it has nothing ...hull, deck, trailer and i think seating dash and gimbals..thats it ?! :eek:
There are anyhow, a couple of outboard 33's ,,they run just as solid only a little slower..but again that depends on the engines u have ..i guess:cheers2:

I was a rigger at Powerplay for about six years, I won't go into any details about why I left or any of the other things about the business. I will say that I loved the boats we built and took pride in the job. I don't build boats any longer, but still own one. Here's a few pics from Defyn Gravity's 33' Powerplay.

This is the only one I have had any experience with. It belonged to an old boss of mine. Had a chance to buy it a few years ago, wish I had many times. Was a sweet boat and a great ride. I spent alot of hours on it in the water and riggin a stereo system.

in the fall i think im going to do my boat the exact same as the orange 38 ZRC.......im going to match interior, gauges, paint, everything. i think that it will really bring out the lines of the boat if i keep it a single color, but that color really pops so it offsets the plainness of it.......

Ran 87-88 with stock 32s. 525s with Speedmaster shorties. Been on it about eight thousand times. Absolutely wonderful boat, maybe he had it a tick or two faster when I wasn't on it but I don't think so. I had a '97, we used to run 'em both down Long Island Sound, cool stuff if you're into PPs.

On my 1991 i had no notch..with the 500 Ci blue thunder engines ( 650 real HP ) and Imco -2, 1:36 gears and Bravo I 28 pitch on stellings boxes it still ran ~ 108 MPH....:eek:

Between 75-85 they kind of tend to walk a little but as soon as u hit 85 the just run straight as an arrow then after 95 they get a little loose..but still stable !!!!!!

Me too...got the big jerk around, good thing because I heard the same about it having some probs.



Which one was Tricks ???:confused:

It was an older '89 or '90 if I recall which had some work done on it, supposedly by PP. It had a yellow and red (orange/red) flag graphic at the back half of the boat. It was Fred's best friend's boat from Wisconsin but I think Fred gave him the jerk too. It went to a buyer from LOTO who complained on OSO about it but the Fred d!ck lickers beat him down quick and he was never to be heard from again.

Got this from OSO...the dude definitely got the Fred jerk. I remember some delivery issues too. He hasn't posted since 2008, hopefully he fixed the boat and is still having fun with it.

Been working on it every weekend fixing everything that was supposed to be done before delivery. Gauges wired wrong......temp gauges wired wrong, Port gauge to Starboard motor and vise versa....that threw me off on trying to figure out the water temp problem.........so, finally figured out this weekend that way it is plumbed is causing the temp jumping back and forth from 160-180-240 and back....cold water is dumping in on top of the thermostat through water line in the top of the housing causing the thermostat to open and close......doing some research on a fix.......temp fix is taking out thermostats so I could drive it a little last weekend....(it's a blast!).........got any ideas???

Once I get it all fixed......and get over all of the BS I went through........I'll love the boat......PowerPlays are incredible........can't figure out why there aren't any other around LOTO .

I'd check your local plastics fabricator. I got a quote from my local shop a few years ago for the same thing, it was no problem for them to replicate it. Sorry, can't remember what the price was, but I remember it was a few hundred bucks though.

I didn't get the chance to talk to him but I'm sure he is. Boat looked great. He lives 1 mile from me and I know his family but I don't see him to often.
