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

I just came on board today.  I have a ‘77 Aquasport 170 that is being restored and looking to learn about it.  The poor thing needs a lot of work but is floatable.  There are some pictures of it in the gallery.

Welcome aboard.

I just added a couple more pics to the gallery.  I have a question about the way the motor is mounted.  Is the gap a problem and what should I do to correct it?  It looks like the mount height is correct at the lower.

I don't see a good pic of the transom and the engine mount.
