Hello,

Picked up a 87 222 that was in good condition. Any info or experiences on this boat would be appreciated.

Thanks Mike

222s are heavy, you must be strong. :o

As far as decals go, you will have to have some made by your local sign or graphics business.  Once I get done with my other projects I intend to have mine replacated.

I used to say something along those lines to customers when I was selling boats-

Customer: I don't know about that boat; I think it would be too big for me to handle.

Me: Are you planning on bench-pressing it?

Gotta love the humor, thanks. Did bench press my teenager once and felt it for a week.

I've been riding around on an 87 222 Osprey since it was new in 1987.  

Had a 150-HP BlackMax on it till 2005 when I repowered with a 2006 150-HP OptiMax.  Getting 5-6 MPG on the new motor and just a nicer, smoother, quieter engine all around.  With a 4 blade 15x16 the holeshot and midrange is incredible.  The top end is not bad either as the boat is relatively light.  

12-degree deadrise and straight sides, very little bow flare has me wearing my foul weather gear in anything but flat-calm seas.  No trim tabs means engine is trimmed down to keep the bow down in the chop.  

With a 70-gallon fuel tank I've got range galore though most trips are out 10-15 miles and back as my sister and brother in law are the owners of the boat now and with 3 kids, they stay inshore as the 222 is a great inshore boat.

I can cut you a set of the old style logos if you like.  I think they are about 30 some inches long.

 I would love to have some stickers made, I need the "aquasport " logo and the big 222 numbers. How do I get in touch with you?
