1990 is somewhat of a unique model year. We don’t have a lot of info and no catalog.

Give me a little time and I’ll dig up what I know (more like a guess).

Aquasport Discussion / Re: 1980s Aquasport - Help with ID of model

The HIN decoder shows it to be a 1980 year model built in January.
ASP is an old Aquasport code but the HIN shows it to be Alexandria Seaport Foundation.
That stated, it’s a Hialeah hull but for whatever reason in its lifetime, Alexandria acquired it, maybe doing some type of repair/rebuild. Maybe an auction buy. Who knows.

In the end, the hull was make in Fla. and in searching the Forum I found 2 members with this model year.

Good luck.

Engines & engine woes / Re: 175 osprey electric complete failure

I had a similar situation... I tested everything and finally realized that the capt chair had bumped the throttle past neutral. Took me a little while to figure it out.
The missing the neutral safety switch will shame you any time it wants.

Engines & engine woes / 175 osprey electric complete failure
« Last post by amos.meringer on August 28, 2025, 05:22:04 PM »
Howdy,

                I'm new to the site but am looking forward to this as a great resource which I hope to be able to contribute to also. We own a 2001 Osprey 175 with a Yamaha 90 CC. I shut the motor off after a cruise to add oil, and when I went to fire it back up, nothing. stone dead. as though I had rotated the battery switch to off. after tracing the path of power from the battery switch to the outboard, I jumped the relay with a screwdriver and she fired up and ran. the minute I shut it off again, she went completely dead again. before I start replacing random objects, has anyone else had this experience? is there a main breaker somewhere I have not located yet? Thank you for your time and help.

More fairing. Every time you "finish" sanding you find another spot.

Gotcha. Also most of the normal ID plates are worn off or possibly removed on purpose.

Miscellaneous Aquasport Hull Info / Need Help Identifying What I Just Bought
« Last post by Mattb21xf on August 25, 2025, 01:53:58 PM »
Hello, I'm new to the forum as I've just bought my first Aquasport. The seller told me it is a "1990 21 XF" which I'm assuming is the 210 Express Fisherman. The specs and appearance seem to match with the 210, however I can't find any information on that model being produced into the 90s. Although I can't find it in the 90s catalogs, the HIN (AQAC0025C090) seems to indicate that the hull was produced in 1990. Could it possible be some other model? Images are attached. Thanks for any help!

It is an XF. I’d need to search to confirm but I believe they made that model in 1980.
As Rick stated, the HIN plate seems to be on the port transom. It will tell the date of manufacture. Please post it
