Finally.  Grinded all the old stringer support glass out of stern. There was a piece of wood glassed along either side of keel that is no longer there. Seems like it should be there which is why I plan on glassing some Coosa down. Also appears the keel is not glassed down the center. It's off about halfway towards the bow by about an inch off to starboard. Odd.  Whoever did last job was less of a professional than me which is to say very unprofessional. Pick up my first run of supplies on Monday. Wish me luck. Will be add8ng glass to transom skin, adding Coosa along keel and  generally adding strengthening  hull where I can before I lay up transom.

I am having a moment. The kind where you grind your thumb and fall out the back of the boat only to step on a rake. I will get the new pis up. Bear/bare(?) With me

Classified / 1986 / 2020 Aquasport 170 for sale
« Last post by wingnut on Today at 10:32:21 AM »
Hey guys, after much deliberation, I've decided to rehome my beloved 170. Full restoration in 2019/2020, documented here:
https://classicaquasport.com/smf/index.php?topic=15320.0

Details of sale on craigslist here, with additional photos:
https://maine.craigslist.org/boa/d/brunswick-aquasport-170-center-console/7748163661.html

I hate to sell her, but I just found a 1977 Sisu 22 that needs a lot of love, and will take us farther offshore than this one will! PM with questions, or email through craigslist.

MIGHT - MAYBE - POSSIBLY - consider selling the bow dodger and frame separately. If you ask nicely.

Cheers, and happy summer to all!

I've had good luck with Moeller tanks, huge selection of poly tanks on their web site if thats what you're looking for.

Great Lakes Skipper and Jamestown Distributors sometimes has them on sale.

Where are you located?  If you're looking at aluminum:
In the NE that was a supplier to Aquasport - http://alloymetalworks.com/
In FL - RDS - http://www.rdsaluminum.com/index.html 
Moved from FL to NC - Florida Marine tanks - https://floridamarinetanks.com/

Look at this sub-forum - https://classicaquasport.com/smf/index.php?topic=5843.0

If you're looking at Poly - Moeller seems to be the brand to look at.  I bought my poly tank for the 170 from a marine surplus place. I had to modify the stringers to fit it in. Also remember you'll have to allow 1-3% for expansion in all directions once gas is pumped into it. It expands once and doesn't shrink back.
