Greetings Aquasporters!
Just picked up a 2001 Osprey Sport Tournament Master 215. Got lots to do on it!

Which forum is right for asking questions about redoing the livewell,wahsdown,fishbox pumps? They are all shot.

Also wondering where to ask about how this boat performs with a F225 or F250. It has an 04 300hp HPDI on it. It's runs 50+ but that's not needed and I'd like a more reliable engine.

Thanks!

Welcome aboard Captnbroady! Definitely worthy hulls and not many of the 240 models on here. I had one that was gutted to rebuild into a CC and then found a CC model to redo instead. Keep us posted and share lots of of photos in your rebuild thread! 😁

I worked for Arvada there from 1985 through 2009 before being transferred to Tallahassee by the company that had bought us, St. Joe Paper. Been here ever since. Grew up in Miami.

My home was definitely built by them in 1980.

Hi! I’m Jayson. Just bought a ‘97 175 w/ the 90hp Johnson. Upon further inspection, I found out there is a ton of water in the hull and all the foam is saturated. Can someone please tell me about how much it will cost if I do it myself? Also, I can’t find where to create a post in here. Using my phone so maybe that’s why. Thank you for any feedback!
Jayson

Hi Everyone,

I am now the proud owner of a 2000 24' Aquasport Osprey TM (250?), just want to send a big thank you to Rickk for all of the information he provided that helped me understand the boats condition, pain points and negotiate accordingly.  I think I did ok but at this point I dont care, I love the boat and its now part of my family.
 I have been having a lot of fun reading through all of the forums and running outside to see what I can apply to my ever growing task list (especially wiring, thanks SeaBob!).  Right now I just want to get it all functioning, the major work can wait till the offseason. My list is starting with getting power to my windlass, radio/VHF and fixing the pump on the bait box and fish box.  Right now the fish box fills with water but I cant pump it out.  I'm going to start with replacing the pump and running new wiring.

 The 2000 Johnson 200 is a little tired but still gats up on plane.  I did run a compression test and all cylinders are reading at or over 100psi except for one running at 60. Hopefully I can get one or 2 seasons out of it before I repower with a new 300. I included a few pics but will save the rest for the appropriate topics.

Thank you in advance for all the help,
RickOconn
