Tom,
The new 33 looks great. My 2 cents:
1) I am part of the 50% that doesn't like the new hatch but appreciate the rationale behind it. The lack of drainage hasn't been an issue for me so I would stick with the flush look.
2) I love the new bolsters - would like to see one with the throttles in the armrest like many of the original 33s.
3) The new console - would want to see it in person before making a final judgement but from the pics I must admit I prefer the look of the one latitude built. But again I know sometimes pictures don't do justice.
4) Were you able to incorporate a fold away swim ladder on the bracket? Mine has a removal ladder that I store in the floor. A fixed ladder would be much more convenient.
5) I would also add a shower at the transom if I were building a new boat.
6) A proper fish locker at the transom is great!
7) Self bailing - fantastic!
All in all, great job! Looking forward to seeing many more of these new and improved PowerPlays!

Well Tom I have to say that I was fairly impressed with the 33 Fish. For being the 1st one built, I couldn't pick it too bad and I am one of the pickiest people out there. If you do everything you say you are going to do, Powerplay will be back in all of its former glory. Not crazy about the deck hatch at all, but understand the argument. Didnt like that the deck or deck mold was in dire need of some love. Lots of ripples, body lines were poor at best, but overall, for molds that have not been used in years, not bad. I hope you and Pat continue to make the changes and improvements that the public are wanting. There is lots of competition out there, but you have a good head start on them by starting with one of the best quality rough water boats on the water.
Oh yea...put the logo back to the way it was, I spent good money on it.

Why stagger? Isn't balance pretty good on yours?
How about with some of the new LS based Ilmore's, that'd help the balance without stagger.
See, this sounds like it's a done deal, and you can't give up any cockpit room as you're gonna have to fit a lot of us in your new PP.

Gimme a 5 person stand up cockpit with an extended sun pad and staggered motors with my cabin. Call it done because it will be the best sport boat out there in it's size...
