New guy here!! Looking for aquasport

[Briansaqua]

Ok so I'm looking for an aquasport in the 20'cc foot range. I have seen some in my area but I really don't know what to look for when buying an older boat. But I love the lines of the osprey. I will search the forums but I need a starting point! Any help I plan on fishing for Atlantic salmon with down riggers and would entertain a 17 footer but a 20 footer would probably be better cuz the 17 footer will get crowded fast with gear and all. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Brian

I assume that was meant for me...   hello Brian, hello Slvrlng...been too long.

Brian,

I own a 20ft CC aquasport.  I can offer you two things.  I know the ins and outs of a 79 aquasport 19 6.  I would be happy to discuss them at length with you, no strings attached.

I also am considering selling mine, but wont push that unless you bring it up.  I offer help because others on this site were extremely helpful to me.

PM me or reply here if you want to chat.

Regarding your question

I really don't know what to look for when buying an older boat.

here's a good link that might help, but you need to know what your preferred usage would be to determine style/model.

Thanks all! I am in northern Michigan between Boyne city and charlevoix 49727 the expensive boat capital of the world!!! I have been looking at an osprey 175 with a 90 vro. But it's not for sale.....yet but I'm working on him. Thanks Bill for offering your 20 footer would love to see pictures? Where are you? North east? We love the northeast.

I am in CT.  Ironically I am from MI.  I was raised on panfish  and walleye, then i moved to new england and turned to a salt guy.

Search my name on this forum and you will see the upgrades I made and tons of pics of the guts pf the boat and the projects.

I am loading a few pics onto the photo gallery labeled imonna 1979 196.  Between those and what you can find on here, you can learn everything you ever wanted to know about my boat.
