Welcome aboard Fede - looks to be in pretty good shape.

Welcome aboard Fede,

[Tilly]

 
We just got an Aquasport 250 CCP, vintage 1985.  It has been stored outside for a couple of years, but over all still in fair condition.  There are some cracks in the fiberglass, and there is quite a lot of corrosion.  The seat is rotten and needs to be replaced.  The batteries are probably not good any more, so probably need to be replaced as well. We will need to rewire the boat and trailer.  I found some general schematics on this forum, but if anyone has a pdf file of the manual or schematic particular to our model, and good materials resources, that would be greatly appreciated!  The boat came with the trailer and an Evinrude 250 HP, but there are cracks in the housing of the motor.  It will take a lot of work to get the Aquasport on the water by this summer, as we hope to use it for our Canoe journey safety boat!  We are located near the Columbia River and the Pacific Ocean here on the West coast of the US, close to the border of Washington and Oregon, on the Washington side.  Happy to have found this forum!

Thanks for the welcome Rick...but not sure what the pic posting instructions were for.  Can you not see the photos and avatar?  They are visible on my end...
 

[RickK]

Yup I can see it - when you attach a photo versus uploading it, the image is treated differently.  Attaching the pic and it is "size" limited, when you upload, no matter what size, the photo gallery accepts the pic and when you post it, the image size is much, much larger.  The image you attached is only 267x200 and when we click on it we really can't see much of your boat.  Try uploading it to your free gallery here on CAS.

Welcome aboard Tilly.

   Thanks Capt. Bob!  Also, I did wonder why I had to keep reducing the size of photos of our boat.  I will get back to that and try again!  Thanks Rick!

You were close.  If you look down the right side of the page your pic is, in the gallery, you'll see a "Linked Image" field and some code - copy the code and paste into your topic and the pic appears

Oh thank you!
