POWERPLAY thread

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 .


Just found this thread - man am I glad you didn't buy that one from Fred Indy!! Hopefully mine will be back together in a few months....although I am certainly not going to hold my breath. Really wish I had made a career of being a lawyer or an insurance company.

I always enjoy it when others work together to move positively and I have to say nothing. Nice thread, and glad to see the plan is to keep it that way.

Thanks

Ed and I worked at Powerplay together, he's always been pretty a pretty straight shooter with me. He seems to know pretty much everything that happened at Powerplay.

Yeah I watched you guys on OSO I knew Gar, He should stay home!

Dude...:huh:
 
The Thad thread was doing fine until a drunk came in and posted lies, then up here Ole Ginger snapped but I know who was behind it!! For 23 years that company built beautiful boats, this is nonsense to bash that hard work unless YOU Personally have done something measurably better???
 
here you go to get it back on track here is a pic of my 28. Since it needed no mechanical work this winter, I had the interior redone & added Latham throttles.
