Good evening everyone.  I've been nosing around everyone's posts looking for info on the best ways to rebuild a boat.  I've got a '74 Proline 24 flatback.  Look forward to sharing the build with you all and getting input on the best ways to build a solid boat.

Hello Everybody!

I recently purchased a 2001 175 Osprey With a 90 hp 2 stroke Mercury. I love the boat and got a great deal on it. Only downside besides little cosmetic work is the previous owner had issues with the fuel tank and instead of replacing it just ran a 13 gallon tank on top of the deck. My plan is to use the boat this summer and tackle the fuel tank in a few months. Any advise would be appreciated like where to get a tank, what kind of tank and how to do this. I know I am going to have to cut some of the deck out to do this. I plan on having it pressure tested and see if its just a fitting or the whole tank. The boat runs great and I am really impressed with it so far. Everything else works, all the pumps, lights and all. I was thinking of doing the replacement myself and having a shop do the fiberglass work because I don't have much experience with fiberglass nor do I have the time or place to do it. The boat fit nice and snug in my garage which is a huge plus. Im very excited to be a part of this page and look forward to any advise.

Welcome aboard JTB and Cory. :salut: :salut:

Cory, when you decide to replace your tank, start a thread in the Forum listed below for all your questions and your project. Pics welcomed.  Read a thread or three there for some good ideas on the install procedures. Light reading to start the process.

Hello everyone I’m in Heathsville,VA on the wonderful Great Wicomico River. This is my first boat and it’s been very kind to me!  1993 19’6 and HIN AQAN0779G293. 130h
I’ve just gotten it back from having some work down to the side rails and I had covers made for center console and seat.  Have so much to learn and so happy I found this site

Hello All,

My name is Ed and I got hold of a 1984 Osprey 196 that was used as a clamming boat and had seen better days.
The hull sounds very good and it just needs some TLC.  My plan is to fix the dings and scrapes, build a custom center console and use it to support my fishing habit.

This is the first boat I have ever owned so the project is a but ambitious but I think I can handle it with a little help from this group.

So far, I have got it stripped down to just the hull and now the rebuild begins. I'll be posting pictures from time to time in the appropriate thread and I'm sure I'll be asking lots of questions.

Thanks for the add and I'll be talking to you all soon.

Hi fellow forumites! I just purchased a 1985 200 CCP with a 2006 Honda 130 4 stroke. I have a registration question. The title says that the ID# is 20539 BT24E 585 but the hull plate is #ASPP1224E585.  I'm a bit concerned. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated!
