Post by: slvrlng on April 13, 2009, 01:38:00 PM
If you own a 19-6 please post your HIN (if available) or estimate of age and I will keep a log of those stats for reference. Now its our turn for some fun! It also seems like there are a lot new 19-6 owners like me,so welcome and post those numbers and we can see just how many of us there are!
          OK this was my idea so I'm first!
        HIN ASPE0618M73G

OK this is open to the 200 Osprey guys too! And welcome to all of them also. Hey scott gunn when I'm reading your HIN the last three numbers are the month and year? I found the other post about the ones before 84 so those are pretty easy. I just want to keep them in correct order. So far three 73s and one 87. Looks mine was built in feb and flkeys was built in march. I know there are a lot more so come on and lets see what you got! Hey allan from VA this is the correct thread.In looking at your HIN it ends with 740 and i'm not sure what that translates to. Post it on here and by then someone hopefully will clue me in to figure it out.

Hello all,  My 19-6 is listed as a 1974 the hull ID# is ASPE0853M740.  I's post a picture but can't seem to get the hang of it.
Allan in Poquoson.
Title: Re: The official 19-6 registry.
Post by: slvrlng on April 15, 2009, 09:04:50 PM
hey Allan are you sure that last digit is a 0 and not a D, the D would make more sense.
Title: Re: The official 19-6 registry.
Post by: apnpoquoson on April 18, 2009, 01:08:27 AM
Yes it's an "O" at least on the registration papers.  I'll double check what is actually stamped on the hull, but according to the papers I have on the boat it's an "O"      Allan.

PS.   when I cut the skin off the transom I cut out the hull numbers to re-attach later.  If I could figure out how to post pictures I'd take a shot of it and post it.   Seems I'm photo-posting challanged.  These dang new-fangled gadgets! :?

Cool!!! Add another one. I keep looking at older threads and see people with 19-6s I always wonder if they still have them and how long before they see this thread. Thanks for the post and you are now on " the list ".

I'm not sure. Sounds reasonable to me. We have two examples of post-84 and they both end with the year so it is certainly a reasonable assumption.

Okay I double checked the hull ID# and the last digit is a "C" not an "O"........ASPEO853M74C    Does that make more sense?   Allan in Poquoson.  :scratch:

Sometimes they are really hard to see! Yes that makes a lot more sense. On mine someone had installed the tiedown loops right over it! That should make yours October 74. Now the question is do you change your registration?
Title: Re: The official 19-6 registry.
Post by: apnpoquoson on April 20, 2009, 07:34:32 PM
I dunno, since its registered with Virginia Game and fish with the letter "O" at the end, and the registration card I got from the previous owner is registered that way I might be better off just leaving it alone instead of opening up a can of worms and more red tape.  I am still in the process of registering it .    :)

Here are some pictures of my "Rare California" 1979 Aquasport 19.6 FF I/O.

I use it  for Fishing in the ocean out of San Diego. A Usual trip would be going 20 -25 miles offshore and into Mexican waters to fish for yellowtail jacks and different kinds of tuna's.

Aquasport79, how does the 196 ff ride?  I've got one I've been trying to restore for 10 years...lol.  I've never ridden on it.  I was going to put my 115 four stroke suzuki on a bracket on it.  Is the ride in chop pretty good?  My 23 carolina skiff beats the crap out of me.
Title: Re: The official 19-6 registry.
Post by: aquasport79 on May 10, 2009, 10:57:55 PM
How does it ride? 19.6 FF

-First of all I use this boat only in open waters of the ocean and not in bays-

Well, the boat does not handle a head on wind sea chop of over 2+ feet very well (20+ knot winds ), and you end up either slowing way down and driving it like a car or banging and banging, getting air and vibrating your teeth!
 If the head - on condition is under 2 feet of wind chop,  it is an excellent ride and pretty fast.
What this boat does  well is coming home from 20 miles out in the pacific and blasting down and running with the wind and swell. In those conditions I can almost go full out (30-40 mph)

The stock tank is a Rear 50 gal. tank. I also installed a 25 gal near the front of the boat. Most of the time I never fill the 50, because it puts way to much weight in the back of the boat. (also have a 30 gal livewell in the back ) With the 25 gal. I can go about 75 miles, If I need to go more I usually just bring a couple Of spare 5 gal jugs along.

Thanks Rickk.
Aquasport79, I would be using it alot in the Neuse River in New Bern, NC.  It's a big river that usually has some nasty chop.  I would also use it nearshore off our coast.  In your opinion, is it worth my time to finish this boat.  I am also thinking of a pilothouse which I have drawn out and have started  a mockup. I tried to attach a pic but it's not working. How well would that 115 push that boat?

Post by: aquasport79 on May 11, 2009, 08:53:51 PM
19.6 ff rebuild?
Well, It's just a matter of just how much work needs to be done to the boat and how good you are with your hands. Just Create a list of all fixes to get it shipshape and estimate dollars and man hours. How much we talkin?
As far as the 115?
 It would be a bit underpowered... a 150 would be good and a  175 it would be great. You need the extra power for tides, swells and wind chop. If it were a flat lake and just used for fishing a 115 might be ok, but still on the slow side (like 30 mph max).

1974 19'6"
name : Bikini Chaser
ASPE1107M74K
I believe that it was built in Alexandria, VA
tower was built by a friend and myself over a weekend project
I purchased her in Dec 08 and just about have her like I want her, as soon as my raised transom piece returns from being powder coated.
favorite features of these older boats : they can run skinny and handle a decent chop, may be bouncy but you'll stay dry, unless a strong head wind.  If you happen to nail a sandbar just get out, they weigh next to nothing.  thought that i always wanted a 222 but after fishing in a friends 45K dollar restored 222 it didn't impress me with its shallow water get up even with a jack plate and it seems to weigh much much more than mine.

If the best all around boat is what your looking for,  then find an Aquasport there much less expensive than a dorado, sheaffer, gausebuilt, and aeonmarire, and the time spent with your boat is highly rewarding.

Just curious.  I had a 17" on my zuke when I first ran it, and I could barely clear 33mph w/o over-revving.  Running a 21" now and do 43mph.  Interesting numbers, that's all.

I picked this gem up a couple of month's ago. I'm totally enjoying it. 1973 classic style HN ASPE0658M73H cert says it's 19' but I measured it out to 19' 6" Humm.
Sorry I'm a noob here but better late than never, I figure i'll have this one for a long time. Just need to start restoring.
Man do i have alot of question's. Oh and I have a 1989 130 Yamahopper on it and do 35 to 36 mph loaded down, GPS reading.
I'm having some issue's with the pic upload sorry.
Thanks
Jay

to answer your question in a round-about way:

the absolute fastest way to gain marine horse power is to...

well anyway, nobody asks questions when i fire her up at the ramp cuz she fogs out the entire area with smoke and souds way meaner than the modern "more lady-like" 4 strokes.  (your supposed to run 150 : 1 two stroke oil, right?) don't get me wrong a fourstroke may come later, but a decrease in hp will also come due to the added weight.  so we know mercs are a pain to crank but their made to suck fuel and run wide open, so untill it dies it has a good home with me.

currently don't have other interior pics, but what are ya looking to do?

Welcome jjkw60! Your hull was built in March of 73 just before flkeysaqua. I guess they really had a good run of building during this time. I wonder if the slighty cooler weather during that time had anything to do with it. You know the "winter" in Miami. Maybe they changed the hardener ratio to compensate for the cooler temps. I wonder if seabob4 would know if boat manufacturers do this kind of thing? More hardener= harder resin = Longer life of hull?

Post by: jjkw60 on June 11, 2009, 01:37:11 PM
Thanks Lewis.
The hull has a few nicks and character marks I wanna repair, then possibly new gel or bottom paint.
I'm still not able to upload pic's yet. It may be because I'm at work on the company puter. I'll try when I get home. I read a few threads about live wells and was wondering if anyone had any problems with location. My hull is self bailing but I'm considering cutting the deck and installing a bildge pump and would want to install live wells near the stern.

Hello all from Florida Home of the GATORS. Recently aquired a 19-6 aqua sport found this site trying to ID the boat before I recieved the title. After I found out what I had bought I was even more enthused :bounce: I joined hte site and WOW I love this place plenty of info and stories of this boat. title says 1973 HIN#ASPE0856M740 it powered with a 1983 johnson seahorse 140 with about 20 hours on the rebuild. Got it for cheap (seller sold due to the big "D")pictures to follow...greazy

Welcome! Hey greazy just to make sure since we ran into this with Alan in poquoson va hull the last digit tells you what month your boat was made. His also was thought to say 740 but upon examination the 0 was actually a C. Back then their model year began in August which had an A, September had a B and so on. If you continue this line July was the end of the year and it would have a L. Mine was built in Feb of 73 hence it has a G which looked like a O until I really cleaned it off. Welcome again and get some pics up so we can see her! :)

I wanna play too.... I have a 1978 Aquasport 19-6 Center Console powered by a 1978 Evinrude 140.  It is in great running condition, I fish it every chance I get.  I am currently trying to do some upgrades thanks to all the people on this board and finally realizing that I have a nice classic bay boat on my hands.  I will post some pics up as soon as possible, as it may be the last time she looks the way she currently does.  She needs some paint to clean her up, but thats about it.....

So not to "bash" any ccpers but had a run in with one at the boat ramp the winds were pretty bad out of the northwest and when the guy pulled up he says "sure you want to take that "flats" boat  out today"  "never had a problem before" I replied. So as he launches his CCP he neglects to hook a tag line to it or even have someone on the boat, already leaving I see this and had to stop and watch glad I did because as soon as he pulls the trailer out his boat proceeds to drift up on the ramp broad side. :shock:  guess even CCP's can handle some wind :D

You are correct-a-mundo the last letter is indeed a "c" the stamp was kind of light in that area. but I have the title now and tis true a "c"..side note just came back from the lake and according to my GPS I got about 38 mph with my 140 sea horse.Sound about right???

Post by: slvrlng on July 17, 2009, 03:26:48 AM
Welcome Dave! No the G would be correct on your hull. The problem occurs when someone says theirs is a "O". "O" doesn't exist as there are only 12 months. "A" started the model year in august and so on. In fact your hull was built only two right after mine 0618 and 0620! Get some pics up and we can compare the two. I did find out something about the HINs on some of the newer hulls like scott-gunns. The last three digits of his HIN are 687, the 6 is what year model his is and the 87 is which year it was built.

First post here, got an Aquasport 19-6 from my uncle a few weeks ago and finally got around to posting it up here.  HIN ASPE1988M77D (just sanded off the gelcoat that was over it, turns out the registration is completely wrong)

My uncle bought the boat in the 80's in CT and brought it up to Maine to my grandfathers house where it was used until around 2000.  It then came back to CT and was fished on Long Island Sound until 2008 when he bought a new boat, leaving this one in the yard under a tarp for 2 years until I got it.  Haven't been able to use it much this year, I head out for school in two weeks, plus the boat isn't up to date on the registration and paying $52 to use maybe 5 times doesn't sound worth it.

The boat started with a Mercury outboard, which blew up sometime after 1989, and was replaced with a 1989 evinrude 115.  That motor lasted about 12 years and was sold/traded for a 90 or 100hp evinrude.  Around 2005 that motor was replaced with a 94 Yamaha 115 which I currently have on the boat.  Ran great the few times I have used it, just need to do a little work on the wiring for the oil pumps.  Got a 13 x 19 SS prop, with two people on board it'll do 39 at 5000rpm

The floor is a little soft behind the seat, but I don't think it warrants any drastic repairs.  From what I can tell the boat is solid, other than a little flex in the gunwales (is this normal?).  No visible flex in the transom.  Needs some floor paint, but I figure it's not worth doing that then storing the boat for the winter a week later.  I'll have something to do come the spring time.

Lewis, I think you are right on the hull being renumbered.  The title says HIN: MSZ05378B202 and the badge on the transom has a serial number of just E271, Built in Hialeah, FL.  I'll search for HIN on her and research prior owner, but # possibly gone away.  Here's the pic anyhow for the registry.

i think mine is a 1970. 19.6 i coulndt find a hin on the boat and now its gutted, but im really excited about what it will be. so realisticly what should i expect the 19.6 to draft, or what is everyone else draft. i play on the flats in the keys and would love to float in 6-8, but i am dreamin or am i ??

Post by: MarshMarlowe196 on July 27, 2010, 05:16:19 PM
Yeah, I think that's asking a bit much.  Maybe, considering the weight reduction you've done to your boat, you could draft something close that with a 90HP 3cylinder Yamaha 2stroke and fishing by yourself.  My 19-6 was kept in dry storage and the stringers were dry; I ran a V4 90HP OMC, and drafted about 9-10"

Nice boat Electricalmarine...

Looks like you still have the original floor in yours. The tell tale is the original rigging chase and cover. If you replaced the floor, how did you do it and still maintain the rigging chase? You would be the first to do it...

Filled in transom and installed a 6" bob's setback along with a 6" bob's jack plate. Reinforced gunwales, front hatches, and parts of the deck. Rebuilt console. Installed larger bilge access and deck hatch fwd of console. New under gunwale rod holders and gunwale rod holders. 40 or so gallon livewell/leaning post. Under gunwale led's and a led in the bottom of the livewell. New Best Fabrication 50 gallon fuel tank. Put a 96 150 johnson ocean runner on the back. The 17 pitch prop gets up SUPER fast and tops out at 46mph with 3 ppl, full livewell, and 25 gallons of fuel.  I installed the retrofit lencos using the bennetts it came with.  

Seems that the floor was not replaced.  I'd be interested to know how and where and why it was reinforced - through the added deck hatches I'm guessing?

Nice Boat  :thumright:

EDIT:

Just watched your video.  I LOVE the hatch in the floor forward of the console.  I plan on promptly stealing that idea  :thumright:

No, I didn't replace the floor.  I hope I haven't offended anyone by not taking my floor out.  It's solid so I didn't see any need to do so.
And yes, I glassed in some support around my hatches and also added support when I had the tank out.  And Marshmallowe, how bout the length of that trolling motor shaft.  I think it's you that I asked on youtube for the lengh...if not, disregard.

Sorry, I wasn't good with the pics during.  I only have a few.  I did use wood inside of the transom.  And as for the T-Top...one less thing to get snagged on...here's my solution to a T-Top...

I just sold my old Leaning post that came on my boat to a guy who recently bought a 1973 19-6.  When I showed him just how much space was wasted under that deck he said he was on his way to buy and install his new hatch.

Here she is the "Hungarin Hooker" HID#ASPF24681478J love to hear what any of you can tell me about this dirty girl. Currently dry docked in Vineland, NJ but often sails from Cape May, NJ. I hope she qualifies for the post, she is a 196 Cuddy not CC like the rest of the rigs. As wet as the ride is I prefer it that way. I can dodge some waves.

Picked up a 1971 19-6 with a t-top a few weeks ago. Replaced all the wiring, got the engine running, waxed it up and finally got her in the water last week. The serial number is E 350, is that correct for a 1971? Im trying to add pics but it keeps saying its invalid.

Hmmm... You're reading that from the plastic plaque on the inside of the transom on the port side right?

Mine said "E-190", yet my title states its a 1973 model 19-6....  :scratch:  I couldn't ever find a HIN anywhere on my boat, so I registered it under "E-190".  The plot thickens...

yup, plastic plate on port side transom. I was just going by the fact that the previous owner had it registered as a '71.

Figured it out :D Needs some bottom paint and the gelcoat is getting thin but all in all pretty good shape. The transom was redone 10 years ago and feels very sturdy.

Hey guys. I'm new to the Aquasport and just recently purchased my first 1986 19-6 (photos attached). The boat is currently being bottom painted then will be at a slip in Miami and used for sunset cruises as well as some offshore and inshore fishing trips.

I'm pretty sure the 1986 Aquasport 19-6 came with an option for baitwells on either side of the outboard, so I'm currently looking for those (any help in finding them would be great!).

Looking forward to using this forum for all sorts of information and learning.

Hello all .  New to forum.  I just purchased my first Aquasport and couldn't be happier.  I hail from South Padre Island Texas, home of Shallowsports and Majek's.  My new old boat is a 1974 Aquasport 19'6 hull ID #ASPEO927M74F.  Please add me to the list and thank you.  I am happy to be here and still smiling.  I bought it a couple of weeks ago here in Clearwater and and having the transom semi closed in by Hanson.  Going to run a 2001 Honda 130 fourstroke which I know is heavy but I am having transom redone to compensate and once in the water, I will decide where to locate my new scupper holes.  I will start a thread once I get some progress on the project.

I've recently purchased a 1976 Aquasport 196 HIN#: ASPE1666M76D

I've been using way too much data reading all the great info here and yet undecided whether I'm just going to shoot a couple of soft spots with resin throw a cheap tower on with controls up top only, for Cobia Season coming up in three weeks through mid May or go ahead and start gutting it for a total restore. If I  rig it to fish asap will do the restore this summer or more likely next winter. If I can scrap up the $ for a quick simple tower and controls I'll be slaying the Cobia come April.

new to me 1985  200. I have been wanting to restore a boat for a long time and finally took the plunge. I like early hulls and these boats where built for the exact water I live in on the gulf coast. so it was a no brainier. I already have a 27 ft two screw center console and wanted a smaller boat for lobster and scallop snorkeling fun days . I was looking at 175's but ran up on this 19'6. I waffled a bunch on if it was too big but really I think maybe not. The old gal is a wreck but should be fun to work on. It has a lower hour 1998 EFI 150 Mariner that purrs nicely. I'm concerned it's a bit heavy for the boat but see others out there with motors like this. Time will tell It also fits the bill for me having an older hull with a newer type power plant on it. I'm hoping its a good power to weight ratio and I know those Merc. / Mariner motors of those years are relay good reliable engines. I had thoughts of a 175 with something like the mid 2000's year Johnson 115 two strokes 4 cylinder deals. great power with lower weight. I will post some pics as I tear into her.

I just picked up a (free) 1976 19-6. Hull number is ASPF1579M76B. It is in pretty good shape considering it has not been registered since 1993. The previous owner passed away. I am going to fix it up a little bit and hopefully enjoy it. The Johnson 115 V4 on it needs a lot of work. I am thinking I will simply replace it with a similar vintage outboard.

Doesn't really exist.
You'll need to "custom" many of your parts. You can get pretty close by searching the net.

OK for an idea/starting place but always remember with these older hulls and motors, they're only worth what someone is willing to pay. That stated, you as the buyer have a little more control over the price if you know just how much you want to spend. Also, pics and talk are one thing, actual inspection is totally different and will often but not always, lead to a lower price.

Good luck.

On the outside of the transom you should be able to find a "Stamp" in the gelcoat that looks something like this - this is called the Hull ID number or HIN. Mine is on the starboard side.
(https://classicaquasport.com/gallery/data/500/100_0787.JPG) (https://classicaquasport.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=17907&title=100-0787&cat=500)

This is from my Explorer - the last 2 digits on the top line is the year it was made = '92, and the 2nd line is the model = 230.  See if you have something like that on your boat.
