 Hello everyone.  Ed here from the Jersey shore and this is my second Aquasport.  Had a 72 19-6 years ago but recently picked up a 1982 200 CCP with a 97-175 Merc.
 The hull looks good but the motor needs some work.  Was thinking of putting on an 88 120 Johnson looper for now since I have one.  Or a 96 115 Evinrude crossflow.
Depending which needs less work.  I'm sure the looper would be much better.  I'm hoping it would do at least 40 mph.

Don't know much about these 200 CCPs but it sure looks built well and a pretty deep V hull.  I really like the way it's layed out.  And help or suggestions greatly appreciated !!!
 
Thanks......Ed.

Rick- Yes! The previous owner had the boat painted in early 2017.  The color is a very light grey..looks white in most pictures. Definitely different

Welcome aboard Ed!! - I think you'll find the boat is way under powered with anything less than a 150.

I have to agree with Rick on this.  You certainly won’t hit your goal of 40 MPH with either the 115 or the 120.  Your WOT is likely to be 25-30 MPH. 

If I may ask, why are you scrapping the 175? It should hit low 40s and cruise at 25-30 useing less fuel.

 Thanks guys.  Not scrapping the 97 Merc 175 just yet.
It's got a bad cylinder and lots of corrosion.
Just figured until I get the right outboard for it I'd just throw something on it.  The 200 CCP weighs about the same as a open bow 19 ft Chaparral I had that 115 on and it did 45 with that.  So I just figured 40 with more of a deep V would be about right.  Especially with the 120 looper since they are torque monsters.
I do have an 88 Johnson 225 looper but I figured that would be too much and heavy at 450 lbs.  Just gotta check it out first to see if it's good..

 Welcome aboard  Ed.

I can attest that the 115 or 120 will not push that 200 CCP.  Those hulls are heavier than you think. Also the deep bow entry takes lots of power to get going. I had a 200 XF (same hull as the CCP) and I put a 125 on it. I pretty much had to run it wide open to go maybe 28 mph. It also struggled to get up on a plane. I replaced it with a 200 2.5L Merc.  Was a good match. I agree 150 is minimum hp.

First boat!
« Reply #2274 on: September 17, 2018, 05:39:49 PM »
Just got a 1980 Aquasport Family Fisherman. First boat needs to be re wired front to back, some patches all around, a re build on the carb, and new fuel pump put on the 1979 evinrude 100 2 stroke but I think I can get those downriggers wet before the season ends. Oh and going to build a new bench seat that's about 6ft on the port side storage and room for the littles to sit securely. More to come I suppose thanks for all the helpful info this page has been amazing for the most info on "my boat" boy is that nice to type out.

Hello! I am excited to have been able to join the forum! Yesterday I just purchased a 1981 Aquasport 246 FX. She is a beauty that needs some work.

I bought it from a guy who had planned to fix her up but due to health issues was forced to sell before he could make repairs.

She is going to need a new engine and a new transom. But the rest of the boat is rock solid and just needs some buffing / basic TLC.

Looking forward to talking with you all!

Welcome aboard CaptC.  :welcome01: The Express fisherman (XF) is a great fishing machine and I bet that 246 has a huge dance floor in the aft.

Oh Yes! Sorry about the Fat Fingers. It is the XF haha!

But here is a picture of her. I will start a thread once things really start kicking off.
