Welcome aboard Wayne  :welcome01:
Once you get to the forum Capt Bob linked to, above the Blue bar you'll see a "New Topic" button - click there and work top to bottom on the form that appears. to post pics I sent you a link in the welcome letter that I will repeat here: http://classicaquasport.com/smf/index.php?topic=12725.0  - don't attach them - you are limited by file size. Uploading them into your "member gallery" is better for viewing.

Howdy folks!  I just purchased a 2002 225 Explorer with newly repowered 250 main and 9.9 kicker.  This is a rare boat in the PNW but she is perfect for our uses. 

I'm installing the downriggers this week and will be adding the TR1 (or the new version) soon.  Then its onto figuring how to secure scuba tanks...

Hopefully I'll get a good lead on a source for a cover from this site until the new boat shed is built.

Hello all. I am a new member and recently purchased my first Aquasport. She is a 1996 225 Explorer with factory hardtop. She needs a little love but I am excited to restore her to her former glory. Anyone in here from Long Island, NY?

Welcome from west coast, do some research on the new tr1 . The old one was great but new one seams to have some issues going on. Sounds like they released it before enough testing went on.

Hello all, happy to be involved - happy to stumble upon a community for my newly acquired 1968 22-2 Flatback. I have some TLC to put into her - mostly cosmetic and electrical but plenty to keep me busy while we have a winter here in the Northeast. The forums have already been amazingly helpful! Cheers.

Hoping this link to the gallery is working !

Hi All,
Name is Kevin and recently came across this site after purchasing a 2001 Tournament CAT 161 here in Australia. I hear it’s a bit of a rarity these days so looking forward to finding out as much as I can about it. Love it so far but have a few issues with engine setup that I discuss another time.

Hello All, Nice to finally post and be here.  I bought a 1992 Aquasport Explorer 210 about 2 years ago and have checked out the site a couple times to find answers to random things on google searches. For some reason, I never posted.  I figured it was finally time. I definitely will be hitting up some of the threads over the next few as I am trying to get some parts, pieces fixed or replaced that seem to be evading me but wanted to share the progress thus far.  When I bought it, it had a 1997 Evinrude 225 Ocean pro 2 stroke that was finicky and some past owner had done bad things to. I replaced it with a 2006 Yamaha 250. I recently upgraded the steering from teleflex cable to hydraulic. I also changed out a lot of little things like the stern ladder, GPS/chart/ depth finder, and  a lot of wiring that was terrible, as well as installing a marine radio. This is her for now. I plan on replacing cushions for the captains chars, replacing the broken cuddy cabin hatch, and repainting the bottom. Then I think I might be happy for a month or 2 before wanting to do something else.
