Steve could you share some of the racing history of Powerplay. I know Dan raced before he built his own boats, but how well did he do in his own Powerplays

Thanks Ken

Danny is in the APBA hall of fame and won the "B" Class national title and the gold cup in a 33 Powerplay raceboat that one of the OSO members on here own today.There are pictures of his two "S" boats at the beginning of the thread that was a wild class in those days,the same as an open boat but with small blocks 750 CI limit. also do not forget Reggie ran "B" class when Danny won it.

gettin my props back from BBlades next week. So far with 550hp a side running through trannys and #4's she runs right around 87mph. Not bad for a nonstep pleasure boat with the reliability of the speedmasters. Hoping to get to the 90mph mark with her this year when I get my props back. Also, my drives are to deep and I can go up about 2-3 inches with them which will give me some more mph, but that is a winter project, not something to start messing with right now. i also love how deep the cockpit is in my boat when I compare to all the other 33PP's. I think that is the one knock people have about these boats, but mine doesnt fit the stereotype.

Thanks for the answers on the set up for sixes Steve. So the way I understand it you would move the bulkhead forward to make room for the 6's, meaning that a normal bravo setup wouldn't be able to drop in a #6 set up with glass mods...

Do you have any pics of the 38' arneson boat from in the engine compartment?

Thanks, Dave
