So, you fixed her up to sell her?  Are you going to splash her?  I’d love to see some on the water shots.

Well...I did not purchase to sell, but while I was restoring, I found an amazing Whaler 22' Revenge for a steal and could not resist, so the Aquasport must go.  It is awesome though.  I have a video that I can send if you pm me your email address.  I will also be posting new photos on this thread...

Here are a few photos, following the restoration. All hoses were replaced, bilges cleaned, the Johnson Motors were tuned, parts replaced as needed, painted and new decals installed, new batteries, LED running lighting installed, new seating pads on fore helm seat, new bowsprit fabricated with hawes pipe for anchor chain/rode, new Unique Fabrications Leaning post, with room for cooler, Simrad GO Series Sonar/Chartplotter GPS, Kiwi Grip Blue Non-Skid, Polished and Re-set all bow rails...etc.  She is an awesome little ride!

I'd really like to see that video, you should post it! One of my buddies has two 50's and was trying to convince me to put them on mine. Figured it would be too much headache.  Corynelsondd@gmail.com
It'll buff out!

There is a Youtube button on the new post screen - all you need is the video id but I think it will work with the whole URL too.
