Welcome aboard.

Love reading on this forum.   Good material.  I'm very interested in the lines of the 175 as.   Very  looking boat imo.  Kinda reminds me of the panga boats.  Im looking particularly at a 1991 with a 90 mercury.   Can anyone please advise me of what I need to look for (i.e.soft spot s etc)   and what should I look to pay for it.   Looks clean.    Thanks for your experience and advice

Good luck with the hunt.

  alshi - if you like the lines of the 170/175 you should look at a '72/73 222 Osprey, the sheer is more pronounced - a true beauty.  Enjoy the site.

Thanks guys.  Will definitely remember these recommendations.   Happy thanksgiving.  We truly have much to be thankful for

Hi Everyone.   My name is Vic and I have recently acquired a 1998 model 175 with a 90 hp Evinrude in very nice condition.  I'm in process of doing some cosmetic work along with some wiring and resealing where the cc mates with the deck as well as the helmsman's seat.  I live in the FL Keys so it's always a battle with the saltwater.  I have always liked older boats having owned a 1973 25' ChrisCraft mid cabin express cruiser for 27 years.  I currently own a freshwater only 1971 16' Larson runabout with a 55 hp Johnson in incredibly mint original condition and a 1977 14' Bluefin aluminum open fishing boat in equally nice shape.  I bought the Aquasport to replace the Larson, which I hope to sell in the near future.  I'm glad to be a part of this group and am looking forward to getting to know many of you.

   Vic and congrats on the purchase.  I've enjoyed my 170 for many years.

Hey guys I'm new here. Yesterday I went and looked at a Coburn and Sargent 222 and I think after reading up on it here I will be trying to work on a deal to get it from the owner.
It's in ROUGH shape and will need a complete restoration but the price is right and at least in my experience these hulls are getting hard to find.

[RickK]

  Levi - good luck with the purchase.  If you have any question let us know.

[Capt. Bob]

Welcome aboard to both Vic and Levi.

New member...Hey gang, my name is Jason out of Tampa, FL.  Bought my dream boat few weeks ago.  1976 Aquasport 170 with a 1998 Yamaha 115hp.  Both boat and motor are tip top condition, maintained immaculately.  All she needs is a helm leaning post and for me to install my above deck livewell.  Looking forward to learning from y'all and sharing stories.

Hi there... stumbled across this site in spring while researching AquaSport 222's. Happy to report that I purchased shortly thereafter and can now be an official member of the club. 1976 Aquasport 222, fully restored with half tower. Pictures attached (hopefully).

I'm looking forward to sharing ideas, continuing build-out and customization and hopefully getting to know some new friends.

Nice looking Rig 

How do you like the trolling tabs?  Adds some more weight back there huh.

[Capt. Bob]

Welcome aboard Tom.

Very nice looking craft but the motor, well.....

I'd love one of those on my old WAC.

Good luck.
