I'm about to the owner of a 1998 or 1999 Aquasport 165 Striper.  My father-in-law bought it a couple years ago, took it out a couple times, and it has sat since.  It now needs some work, and since he didn't really use it he decided to gift it to me instead of keeping it.  He lives a few states away, and the last time we visited he didn't show it to us, so I'll see it in a couple weeks when I bring it home. 

I know it is a small boat at only 16'.  I tried to look up how much weight you can have on it, but couldn't find that information.  Will it be safe to take my wife and our 2 kids out on it?

You have to look at the Coast Guard capacity sticker. Spend a little time looking through this thread and see if you can find the one for a 165

We saw a 165 in Tarpon Spring Fl once that had 4 big guys in it, the top of the gunnels was about 6" above the water  ::o:

Thanks for that!  I found one that is a 1997 Aquasport 165 Striper so most likely will be the same.  4 persons or 600 lbs so it sound like we'll be good for a little while yet.  My dad keeps a boat on Lake Erie and every time I go out with him I am surprised by a boat that is too small, too loaded down, or both out there on that lake.

Hello.

Just bought a 1974 222 restoration project that will need everything from the stringers up. I have posted photos of the "before" and hope to post the after pictures soon. Wish me luck.

Thank you.
