Looks really nice!!  What are your plans to keep your feet cool when up on the upper station?  Not sure how often you even use the station up there since there are no controls. A spotting tower.
Is there a "stamped" HIN on the starboard side of the transom?  You have a ? after the year in your signature.  They didn't start requiring HIN until '73 I think.
Here is a link to a '71 offering of Aquasports - might help you figure out what you have.

What we're missing is the '72 & '73 brochures  :cry:

That is one hot boat.

And to me, in terms of lines, the prettiest Aquasport ever made.

There is renewed interest in the 240 Seahunter. Researched our archives and photo gallery extensively last night, searching for Seahunter images. They are woefully absent. We had some on the classifieds years back. Rather than be deleted with the posts, will get with CB on saving future images of this boat and others to our archives.

CAS on a daily basis is present need.

The big picture is preserving the past.

RickK thanks
I found in the bilge when I was redoing her a little plastic tag broken up and tried piece it together
Could not but found that number H254
I have no idea when that year was and will probably difficult to find out
That's why I put 71? any one who knows let me know and I make an adjustment :)
The brochure from 71 that is passe  :D Was the first documentation that i received from some one when I was looking for info on this boat sorry cant remember who send it to me must be 9 or 10 years ago and had several computer crashes since
The tower is there for the shade since a Ttop would not work out
My buddy use it some time to look for birds
Still have a radar to install and that can go up there as well still looking for a place to put up the screen
Thinking at top box but the tower is not high enough and will interfere with my sight will see

Aware of the archives and existing posts.

The classifieds delete after time...good job there.

Point is...we need to save and set aside to the Photo Gallery pics and images of restored and finished  240 Seahunters and other rare and collectible models, regardless of image sourcing, prior to loss.

The big picture is preserving the past.

I saw a restored 240 Sea hunter at a gas station a few years back.  It was an amazing looking boat with hunter a green hull.

At one of our gatherings in Buncee pass probably 6 or 7 years ago a hunter green 240 cruised right by the 7 or 8 Aquasports backed into the beach and never even waved even though he looked over at us. He went further west and backed into the beach there  :?
I think that was the same gathering where there was a 215 Explorer a hundred feet east of us and they stayed to themselves also.
