Might be one of Steve Stepps Velocity's
here some more pictures
The deck has a Nordic boat vibe, but no steps/vents in the hull?/
Maybe nordic flow, but it doesn't have the built in platform or windshield like the nordic.
That mold is a flat transom. Personally, I like it. If you can get it cheap and have the room to store it, why not.
what do you guys think this hull would be worth with mercs new 8.2 ho motors and drives
1st pic looks like a completed hull, any HIN#? Is the blue pic a plug?
First pic looks like the old Aronow 34. I believe it then became a Magic.
im not sure about that other one being the plug or the other completed boat i got the pictures from the guy selling the mold
but looking at a complete boat there with graphics had to be at least 275,000
and a build cost of close to 75 % seems like a lot of investment for a small return if you can even sell it
If you had a better shot of the front that would help, Like T2X it does look like a older Velocity. But it also could be a West Coast plug. The front of an east coats boat comes to a point and a west coast boat are flat or rounded.
the owner of this mold said it was designed by a guy from the west coast and apparently they build a boat without his knowledge so he repossessed the molds and now is selling them
A Velocity would have a larger pad. On his big boat it was nearly 18" wide.
They looked completely different to me. These aren't the greatest but they are enough to show they are not the same.

It doesnt look anything like a Velocity.
Not a Velocity....just another "popped" boat, most likely from a west coast manufacturer. It's not all that easy to build and manufacture a boat. If you don't have the cash to do it properly (design and build your own plug) then stay away from the biz...
i agree why go to all the trouble then you dont know what boat it is or how good it will are wont run thats a big investment for a shot in the dark
but it could be improved apon and made to run just like any boat you got to feed it what it wants to make it dance
but as it is old school and all we know it should be good in the rough water
I can't imagine building a non-vented boat in todays day and age. The value of a no-name flat bottom boat is peanuts IMO.
I dont follow new prices at all (I'll never buy a new boat), but my guess is it would be a tough sell at even the price of the components it took to build it, w/o the cost of the hull! I can't imagine it being worth your time to build it. If it had steps, you might be okay though... still no real money maker though.
Just my opinion.
:iagree:
I don't think this boat has a pad at all, this looks like water laying in the bottom of the mold to me.

Good point. It could be.
I have seen a few boats that created pads by simply plugging the mold.. I know of no examples where this worked well.
To answer your question on value for the boat. Maybe $130,000 to $150,000
Yes you could use inserts to make the steps. I'd try it just like it is first, nothing wrong with a classic deep V.
Which deck mold do you get?
The modern looking one?
http://www.seriousoffshore.com/forum...5&d=1292342644
Or the old school looking one?

I'd want to see pictures of the deck mold, not just parts from them.
I like that first deck, and the hull looks great and at the very least would make a bitchen center console.
Powerplay??? Maybe?
At least the hull. Definatly shows some resemblence in the hull, not the deck.
http://www.seriousoffshore.com/forum...6&d=1252091157
Any Powerplay guru's around?
http://www.seriousoffshore.com/forum...6&d=1292344284
powerplay is 32' 7". If this is near 36' then no. I see what you're saying though.
With That Rounded Deck Looks Like A Super Hawaii
There is a tread on the other offshore site about Powerplay and there are more pictures of old style 33 hull and plug.
The Chief first mohican and how long that one off has been forsale, might be a good example of the demand!!!!
So clustergear .....considering you have two post's on this thread -which are #34 & 35 just what is your point ?
arti i just got back on here i have no clue what the history is but we do know the history of how well one offs sell in the open market
