Stop Lurking and Start Posting!! Introduce Yourself Here!

Your sig pics are small (duh) and very hard to see for a senior citizen.


Did you change the console and re-stripe that 170?

Bought it that way, thought the console looked original.  and I suspected a paint job and some work could have been done sometime, mainly because it has very solid floors, very solid transom and looks good cleaned up. Teak seems to be all there, just weathered. I really want to try to keep it as original looking as I can. Here is a pic from when I first looked at it, before I traded my 10ft Caribe for it. Same pic but bigger   It had sat under a trash oak for about 6 months, indoors prior to that. Let me know if it needs to be bigger.  

OK small world...  I almost bought that 170 last year!  A guy in St Pete had it and had to get rid of it since he was moving.  It was a 70's model that someone had painted to look like a 80's model.  Probably when it was repowered.  Whoever did it di a good job since it looked like a 80's boat until you got REAL close to it.  I remember the boat was solid and the trailer was nice.... but it was just more work than I was looking for at the time.  I saw it again on Craigslist a while back.  Small world.

So small, the guy from tampa said he bought it at a auction, so the guy from St Pete must have dumped it on some sort of dealer when he had to leave. Compression was good so I rebuilt the carbs and water pump this weekend....purrrrrrrs like a Lion now All said and done at this point I have about 700 in this boat, between my trade and the Parts from Sutherland Marine....I am happy so far, just trying to find parts that will fit it, need CC grab rail and windshield, bow door that's missing and a few other small items. The floor does have 1 small area that seems a little soft, looks like a previous repair going bad, but nothing to worry about. When I get it completely clean and water ready I will do better pics.

G'day AAer's.

My name is Sean. I'm from Sydney Australia and I have been lucky enough to ship a 19-6 from MA to Australia on a Roll on-Roll off car carrier. I just love the Aquasport's lines. Classic and classy. It got here last week.

I haven't had the Aquasport out on the water yet but she's getting plenty of compliments in the driveway. I need to get her registered as well as the trailer. The trailer is proving to be a bit of a challenge with non existent VIN's etc.
The boat is in great shape. The previous owner re-decked it and appears to have done a solid job. I want to tinker some with it....like put the forward compartments back in etc.
Anyway I look forward to swapping yarn's along the way.

All the best.

Hello,

I am a new owner of a 81' 22-2 CCP with a 90' Yammy 150.. has anyone owned a similar boat?
I have only had a chance to take it out once in Tampa and it feels really good on the chop.. no loose fillings.. I would like to get as much info on my new toy as I can.

Thanks
Matt

Welcome aboard Sean and Matt!!!!

We look forward to your input on the board!

Sean, what year is your 19-6?

Matt, yes there are quite a few 22-2 CCP owners here! I am sure they will chime in when they can.

Each of you should start your own thread in discussion WITH PICS so we can see what you have and help where we can when necessary!
Try using the photo gallery on the site, it makes posting pics very, very easy. Here is a link to gran398's description on how to do this.

Indeed,
Welcome aboard to you both.  

How timely that Matt should join sporting a 222 CCP with a 150hp motor. I believe there was a discussion just recently on powering that model hull.

As Lew stated, both start new threads and posts some pics.

Good luck.

Hello everyone, wanted to introduce myself...I live in Ocala, have purchased a very nice 2002 Aquasport 250 Osprey for a great price that has twin Yamaha ox66's on the back...this is my 4th boat over the years and by far the most comfortable for my needs....over the years things change....first the speed and a Baja Outlaw, then a deck boat, then a walkaround and now a nice center console for diving and fishing....I am glad to have it and glad to be part of the forums.

[seabob4]

Welcome aboard!  Excellent boat you've got there, with excellent engines!  Many a 225/245/250 Osprey owner here (as well as the Explorer bunch, same boat from the helm back), so you're in good company!

New here and new to the whole Auqusport ownership. I just draged her home and couldn't be any happier.
The boat had all the electronics stolen out of her so I have some wirring issues to take care of   but nothing I can't handle.
The boat is a 1993 200 osprey with  2008 Yamaha 150 2 stroke.

Good luck.
