Hello all,

Thanks for having me onboard!

I am the proud owner of a 1998 Aquasport osprey 205 with a 150 Johnson ocean runner. I am from Canada and plan on fishing the golf of st-laurent with it (east quebec). I will have a few question soon and I hope you guys can help me find answers.

Cheers and talk soon!

Greetings form the land of ice and snow!

Tom here, long-time lurker and recent poster. Hail from Montreal, but do my best to spend as much time as I can in SWFL. Gotta hand it to all of you for the great info on this site and am very pleased to be onboard.

I have a 1973 AS 170/ 65 hp Johnson which was a fresh-water boat and is completely original with the exception of the seat-pads which I rebuilt and had recovered. It is kept in SWFL.

I recently bought a 1973 AS 22-2/ Mercruiser I/0 which is still up north but is destined for SWFL waters. Since it was bought in the winter and is still full of ice and snow, the arrival of milder weather is needed before I can assess what she needs to be returned to a sea-worthy state. Plan is for a conversion to an outboard.

Looking forward to further participation here!

Brgds,

Tom

Hello everyone TK57 here. I am the relatively new owner of a 1998 Aquasport Explorer 225 with a 200 HP Johnson outboard. I'm also a relatively new boater. I'm very gratified to have found this site as I am beginning to tinker with the boat. I'm pretty handy but know my limitations. I plan to expand my boating knowledge with your help. I'll poke around the site to get my feet wet (no pun intended but actually my first questions will be about bilge pump float switches) and then ask for help.

Hey Everyone, I’m new to the Aquasport world but couldn’t be happier and excited to get out on the water in my 1990 210 Extreme Fisherman. She’s a heavy potential boat, love the aft deck and cabin space. Enclosed transom with self bailing cockpit is nice too. Read that it was made with fiberglass stringers too, nice!!

I’m looking to repower right off the bat (you’ll see why in the pictures) - suggestions on OB 200/225? Go heavier/weight limit?

Any additional information on this model is appreciated!

New to the site my name is Mike and I am stationed aboard Camp Pendleton, Ca.  I purchase and 222 Aquasport center console and have been enjoying it all year.  I am going to give her some TLC, paint, and rework some old work and wiring.

Good morning everyone and thanks for having me! Just pulled the trigger on a 2002 Aquasport 225 Explorer powered with a 250 Yamaha ox66. Sea trialed her out in Virginia Beach and now anxiously awaiting the transporter to deliver it back to Wisconsin mid-March. Needs a good scrub and to be set up for trolling Superior/Michigan. Couldn’t find a mid-sized walk around that was powered with an outboard in the Midwest for the life of me.  Will post pics as things progress. Thanks again and looking forward to the wealth of knowledge and material on this site!!

Thanks!

Al Boy
