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.

Sweet!!
Oughta be a tough package!
Looks a little tight in the bilge though, gonna have to practice your acrobatic skills to do any wrenching.
Great looking boat.
Congrats!!:sifone:
Nice Ride!!
Cool ride. That has to be pretty rare. I don't think I have seen a 28 PP before.
Sweet boat. you will love it!
FYi...the boat likes a lot of bow lift. i have a 28 with 300 promax's and we are spinning lab finished 28" bravo i's.
Thanks I can't wait to find out how it runs. How fast shoud it run with the small blocks. It woun't be in the water until next week & the props are spinning out now
I'm not that familiar with PP, but to take a stab at your speed question, I'm gonna guess low 70's. 72-3 would probably be good depending on the shape of the motors and drives. If everything is fresh, and with some prop tweaking, I'm guessing maybe pick-up 2-3 mph.
Again, this is just my guess - I have NO experience with this hull, or power package.
I'm just playing the lottery on a guess.
But, I do look forward to seeing what you get.
Nice boat!
Thanks Guys! Its a beautiful weekend & the boat won't be reistered until next week. Kinda sucks
Nice choice, great boat!:sifone:
I don't have mine dialed in yet, but it definitely seems to like the rough.:driving:
Billy,
Once we test the boat and determine how it feels we can change rotation of the props. Turning in gives more bow lift if that's what it needs.
Let's see how she feels before making changes.

They are great in rough water !!!!!!!!!
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.
HOW DID IT RUN ??? UPDATES !!!!!!!!!!???????:lurk5:
I never got to run it with the weather & work. But the mechanic & the owner of the Marina ran it Friday to check out their work & said it ran great. They only took it up to 4500 rpm & said it felt like low 70's but of corse the GPS wasn't working. I think Brett saying it runs good means alot since he has a 46 Outerlimits. I just need to change a shift cable & get the Garmin working & i'll be ready for this weekend.
Thats a sweet ride, Have a good time with it.
We are going out tomorrow. I guess we'll find out how slow it is with the small blocks
You will love it! Let us know how she runs
The boat runs great! We ran last night in some 3-4s & the boat handles incredible. I think it will need some more power this winter it only ran 67-68 on the spedo. One good thing about the small blocks is it doesn't burn much fuel
Billy, it was a fun ride last night!!! I still can't believe you wanted me to run it out! You got a great deal on that rig!
Daredevil, I was driving the boat and didn't notice any hooking tendancy's what so ever. On a few waves I even got wet, lol and the boat tracked very well and flew nice and level. This was with props spinning out, so even less bow-lift.
there isnt any hooking tendency. Dont know what daredevil is talking about.
Try spinning the props in. My bet is you will pick up 2-3mph and grab a handheld gps to confirm!
Thanks for your help. If the storm misses us i'll run it Sat or Sun & have a new Gps. It could have been much worse at least I only needed to change an intake, GPS & shift cable
All you Billy
