    Hi,
New to the forum and have been browsing a bit.  Looks like a friendly place and helpful too. 
I have a 1985 170 Ospry with a 1997 Evinrude 90.  Now for my first question, the capacity plate is totaly worn and cannot see any detail.  Does anyone know the specs, number of passengers and weight, total with gear etc and maximum horsepower so i can get a new plate?

Hi Josh, congrats on the hull.
In the upper part of the site you'll see a row of links, one saying Forum.  Click that link and all the forums appear.  Scroll down to the 2nd Category, the Rebuilds Forums. Look for the Osprey Style Hull Rebuilds forum and in that forum you'll find the Flatbacks 22-2 Rebuilds - click on that. This is the forum to spend some time in, to learn how to rebuild your FB.
Near the top you see a Blue bar and to the right you'll see a button "+ New Topic", click that.
Starting at the top, enter a Subject (like Josh's 22-2 rebuild).  Under all the emoticons you'll see a white box.  This is where you start documenting the rebuild.
To insert pics into the post follow the instructions here - http://classicaquasport.com/smf/index.php?topic=12725.0  - don't attach them, this is better for viewing.

   to Garzon, the capacity plate came yesterday.
Thanks again for the contact info.

Howdy I’m Mike. Been clicking on this website for years so I decided to become a member. I have a 20 ft 1978 Pro Line. Soon to be rebuilt, the floor and transom are  softer than baby poo. But I just can’t stop fishing and lobstering lol.

Hi guys,

Just bought a well-used '83 Osprey and starting to grasp what I've let myself in for. She'll fish as is, but needs some surgery if she's to last. I'll do some searching on the site before asking questions that may already have been answered a 1000 times ... and what a site! The sheer volume of openly shared knowledge is mind boggling on so many levels. Thanks to all the contributors that are going to make my choices a whole lot more informed ... and hopefully I can reciprocate occasionally, even if it's how not to do things.
