Title: 98' CC 245
Post by: Mark Sr on March 09, 2010, 12:50:09 PM

I just got a 1998 Aquasport 245.Looking closely at the side I can see a faded Tournament Master insignia.Was this a decal? Can you get them? Also,what is the difference between an Osprey CC or a Tournament Master CC.Is it just options on the boat. Thanks in advance for help.

Mark,
As all here could have figured I'd tell you this, EXCELLENT PURCHASE!  I built her once she was decked.

The "Tournament Master" package included:

Hard T-Top w/Windscreen
Extra set of rod hoders in the gunnel caps
Transom Shower (tank below hatch in front of console)
Heavy-duty Aluminum Bow Rail
Trim Tabs (Bennetts)
Armstrong Dive Ladder
Battery switch(s)
Flip-Down Leaning Post
Gold Rub-rail Insert
Choice of Hull Colors (White, Forest Green, Navy, Fighting Lady Yellow)
Custom Hullside Graphics

I think that's it.  And do me a favor, take a pic of the helm wiring inside the console.  Thanks.

What does she have for power?  WE NEED PICS!!!

Was this boat suppose to be better than osprey or is it just the options.When you say transom shower,is that for rinseing yourself off after swimming? How about the decal on side. Will try to get pics. What was the cost for this boat in 98. I have an Evinrude Ocean Pro 225hp      Thanks Bob

Here's an estimated cost in 98 with no options. Go back one page and enter what you have and get a closer estimate.

These are the pics you ask for.Don't know if that's the way they should be wired.

Seabob4,

Looking at the wiring,does Aquasport have a colored wiring code? If so,can you explain what color wire is for what.

Mark,
Thank you!  That was mine, but all my wiring has been basically torn apart.  See how the steering lines are secured with an Adel clamp?  Only I did that.

Everything used to be in split-loom and secured with Adels.  God, that pic almost makes me sick...

And I love the use of the wirenut... :x

Thanks again.  The boat looks in great shape...now you just have to clean her up, electrically that is! :thumright:

Bob, because have no clue what an Adel is, didn't find in the pics.  Guess its an insulated aluminum clamp? Thanks.

Scott, sorry, we used them on Scarabs, I brought them over to my wiring on Ospreys/Explorers.  Here's a better pic...

We used the SS versions, instead of aluminum.  Adel is a brand name, there are others out there.

Seabob4 & Circle Hook

If I knew what color was used for what,It would make it easier to trace things out and were they go. There's red,black,green,gray,blue,etc.
So,what would you recomend I do? Just tie wires together to make it neater.If you notice I have a 3rd battery there that's not even connected. 2 starters and 1 deep cycle.The other starter isn't connected.It has a 2 battery switch.

OMFG!  Not like here in FL! :shock:

Mark, tell me what doesn't work on your Osprey.  Not the electronics, just the stuff that came with your boat, i.e. lights, pumps, etc.  If I was in PA, I come and rewire your boat and put her back in the shape she needs to be in, but I'm not.  But at least I can guide you through the trouble-shooting...

But wait until spring! :thumleft:

BTW, might want to retract those trim tabs...

Right now I think everything works.I'm just looking for future reference and cleaning it up a bit back there. Maybe some wires can be eliminated. Anybody with a 3 battery hookup?

Thanks Bob,

I must have had a brain fart on that pink wire, couple of years ago I put a lowrance lmf-400 multigauge in and tapped it off.


Mark sr, I have a 3 battery set up ,but it’s a different model boat.

Very true bob i do realize you guys have a lot of other stuff to worry about! I have family who live in Ft Lauderdale  and in
Punta Gorda both who have had to rebuild there homes because of hurricanes. Back in 1985 hurricane Gloria came up the east coast and destroyed my house we had to start from scratch.

Didn't mean to strike a nerve snow still sucks though!!!  :santa:

Post by: Capt. Bob on March 15, 2010, 11:09:03 AM

No nerves struck.
If I worried about hurricanes I'd move to California. :roll:

Snow, on the other hand, in the proper condition, is great for skiing. Think Utah. :thumright:
In any other instance, you can keep it.
