Hi everyone. I have an 85 290 with 5.7s for sale. She's located in Center Moriches NY. Boat runs Very well. Last season she got NEW carbs, heat exchangers, raw water pumps, full exhaust, and a bunch of odd and end. She has a Solar charger that's not tied in, but is there. Windless, working fridge and stove. She has an older radar that's intermittent. She's wears her age well. I'd steam her 100 miles without thinking twice. I'm asking 8500. My cell is 631 786 0912. Ryan Thanks!

+1 for Petit and blasting. I got mine soda blasted. Good result. Barrier coat? Not sure if it'll need doing. In theory the existing antifoul should be considerably softer that the barrier coat, so it should be apparent if the barrier coat is compromised or damaged.

It's hard to tell what this is - a 250Osprey ('cept they didn't make one in 87)? A 271 Osprey? Around this time AS made some "one-of"s. They made a 280/281 Osprey in '88/89 but that thing was a beast. They also made a 270 Osprey. It could be a 280... Doesn't quite look the profile though. Notice the beam - 9' 7.5"
It's not an XF - here is what one of them look like

My '71 liner was only attached at the top by the rub rail screws, it stops just short of the cap. At the bottom it's a continuous part of the deck/glassed. Just a small 1/4" at most gap between the liner and hull side. Seems they had a mold for the liner and deck when constructed.
