Style Names?

[Slo Poke 1]

The early models were FBs until 71-72, then "?", then "CCP" if I'm correct in 78.  What were those tweeter years called?  Besides the cap, what were main difference in the CCPs? Is there a weight difference?

It looks like the tweener for the 196 is the Open Fisherman and was similar to the 200 Osprey, but was 50 pounds lighter.

A little fuzzy on what you're looking for.
CCPs IMHO are not an evolution of a FB, anyway......

CCPs have a deep V (19* dead rise) hull.
Weights can be found in the Photo Gallery under Documentation.
The CCP hull was used on at least three models (three different caps), the CCP, Express Fisherman (XF) and the Sandpiper (aka Dual Console). The CCPs came in three lengths (varying somewhat in "decal length" over the years) as did the XFs. The SP only came in the 222 version.
Longer lengths were heavier (duh) but the different models (think a 222 CCP, 222 XF, 222 SP) showed the same weight on paper.
Coffin boxes varied in length with model.
Additional gunnel rod storage was available on the longest model.
Console and transom splash well designs varied over the years.

Probably not what you were asking for at all. :|

Sorry about the confusion.  Let's discuss 19-6s/200s only (12 degree deadrise).  It appears that the early 19-6s were "Open Fisherman" then that changed to Osprey around 1978 and was called "200" instead of 196; is that correct?

What I think I know.

Early 19-6s were just that, a 19-6. Probably referred to as an open fisherman or center console as a "style" rather than an actual "model name" (like a bow rider/walk through).

There were 19-6 Family Fisherman models (model name Family Fisherman) as well as just 19-6 Center Console (either outboard or I/O). In the later 70s to see the 19-6 as advertised as the "Open Fisherman" then the "Osprey" I'm guessing around 1980.

The 200 (yes a re-badged 19-6) didn't appear till about 1985-86 (I remember I wanted a 200 in 86). It too was labeled an "Osprey".

All very convoluted but just marketing hype. A rose by any other name.................
