1975 aquasport side console 24 ft

[MarshMarlowe196]

To me the 240 was one of the hottest Aquasports ever made.

....you have a great boat!

Agreed.  That boat is just special.  I don't think I've ever seen a set-up like the 240.

I spotted one of these at a gas station in Florida.  Got a chance to talk to the guy, he was in a hurry to get it wet, but he said he loved it and wouldn't own a different boat.  I tried to turn him on to the site, but he "didn't have time for stuff like that".  Needless to say, I envied him.

Here's his rig-

Guys thanks for re-visiting this post. Jess, THANKS for the photos. And owner, whoever/wherever you are....you need to join the team.

That is one sweet ride. The original layout is superlative....and twin Merc's....icing on the cake.

From Jesse's photos:

Notice the cushioned coaming (backrest) behind the forward settees. Original vent on the port-side gunnel cap. And 3/4 to narrow full post behind the helm station. West coast look....Palm Beach style.

And here's a question for aficionados: Is the console design original?

Research, research ...

Bob, good post.

Comparing the outlines/heights....

Think the original per the pics is taller, and of different cross-section.

The example however is really nice, and a good fit...dammit...I want one.

Fishtank,

Nice work. Really like the teak louvered entry. Whoever did the joinerwork did a fine job.

Also appreciate the foredeck layout. No pretty boy, very functional.

And the deck add is nice....quality work, get a few more years out of her, without a tear-down....we can all appreciate that.

Nice new cushions too, finish etc... she's clean.

Enjoy your sweet 240

Hey Scott, I think those are the original teak doors.

Really cool boat! How's the floor?

[fishtank]

thank you, floor is solid, the white panels are brand new and the middle deck area was resupported with foam and was still in good shape, after i remodel the aft, im going to rhino line the entire inside, so it will match and be even stronger... we have been out diving a few times already on her and she worked great
