246/250 CCP Rebuilds / Re: Project - Aquasport 246CCP, 1979, Captain Koz II

Thank you Rick. The photos are dark. Doesn’t do it justice. It looks really good. I like the front teak trim plate instead of those awful oversized holes. I’m going to make teak plates for the aft ones as well.

Port side rod holder insert is finished
Labor of love. Glad to see it out of my garage. Not sealing it in and mounting it yet as I need that access for now but she is pretty!

Well, that's part of the problem.  I've misplaced the key.

Aquasport Discussion / Seacock replacement
« Last post by rhtrades on October 13, 2025, 10:22:15 AM »
Has anyone ever replaced a Seacock?  Is it an easy job and are there any helpful video's out there on replacement on an AS Explorer or a boat similar?

Thank you.

I while ago I walked in to my local supply shop with my only key thinking maybe they could make a copy, he just went into a cubby and pulled out a match the #
Older boat keys are very similar,not the least unique. Now if the switch is troublesome…..proceed.

Engines & engine woes / Re: 1972 Aquasport 22 Specs

Hi Rick- thanks for the note.  I think the boat is the old flatback. WAs just hauled the other day here but not in my yard to look at.  Will check ASAP.  Would be happy to run and lighter motor. Currently will run at 25kts in flat water but I do that seldomly.  More later/  Many thanks/ Bob

Sitting here at home during the nor'easter looking for my boat keys.  Since I only had one key maybe it's time to switch out the old switch?  Anyone know what the correct switch to order for my old Johnson equipped boat?

It's mounted on the vertical part of the console, but I don't even have a photo to go by.

Hi Bob and welcome aboard.
Is your boat a flatback hull or the "new" 12 degree hull they came out with in '72. You can tell by looking at the bottom of the transom from the rear. Either it's nearly flat across the bottom or has a 12 degree slant from the garboard plug up to the hull sides.
Reason I ask is because the FBs were designed for 150 hp or less, usually a 70 or 90 hp. The 12 degree hulls were designed for 140 hp or so. People now a days that have refurbed FBs run 150s (2Stroke) on them.
Here is data from both eras - 1971 - https://classicaquasport.com/gallery/data/570/68AS_all_models_price_options1_1971.jpg

1972 - https://classicaquasport.com/gallery/data/555/68AS_22-2_brochure2_c1970s.jpg
