Hi all,
Scored a killer deal on a '72 19-6 cc last May. Right place right time guy needed it gone. Was able to quickly repower the boat with a BF90 Honda and use it up for the short season we have here in MA. This offseason this group gave me the confidence to dig into the ugly areas, total transom rebuild, partial deck rebuild and console reconfiguration. Plan to start a thread to show off the upgrades and give others confidence to tackle the projects that may seem unattainable.

Welcome aboard Dan.  Congrats on the score. the 196 is the perfect size boat - not too big and not too small. Looking forward to see what you do with her.

Hi all, I'm a long-time lurker who acquired an 89 Osprey 200 last year from the nephew of the original owner( I have a pile of original paperwork with the boat). I intended to fully restore her and someday will but the sole and transom seem solid along with the fuel tank being replaced so I'm currently rewiring and have to repair the inner side of the port stringer. I was planning on buying a new boat but couldn't pull the trigger and after seeing the incredible work here on this site I know now that this is the direction I'm heading in. Thanks in advance, Larro

We have a ton of rebuilds that you can spend a few years reading through to learn  :shock: ;-)
