[DOCREED]

If you are going to throw out the old switch panel, I could use one.   Let me know how much you want for it.

Any progress since those pics?

Nice intro. :|

I'm having a little square footage envy! Man, that's a lot of boat! And it will be even roomier when you add a bracket. Cool find and I can't wait to see the finished product!

Good luck,
Charlie

The 27 ft. is the boat I’ve always wanted. I saw one in the early 70’s with a full tower. I fell in love with it at first site. I’ve looked at two in my area for a while. Neither is for sale, even though they have been just sitting, one for 20 years. That’s sad, but you can’t control what people do. I keep going by that boat, in hopes it one day has a for sale sign on it.

Don't know if Aqua made a 27' back then (24' for sure) or were you just referring to a 27' type boat with tower?

That is a SWEET boat!!

Your right Capt. Bob. My age is catching up. It was the 80’s.  but I won’t forget where. I still can see that boat in my mind. It was in fairwinds marine on the magothy river just off the Chesapeake bay. I spent a hour just looking at it. My buddy got pissed. I went their to pick up parts for a motor we were rebuilding, and took 3 hours to get back. Boy was he and unhappy camper. bwahahaha

We have a member here (Keith Knecht) who has owned several of this model Osprey. He's the house authority on them.
I'm sure he'll wax nostalgic on this thread again if it gains some momentum from the "new" owner.

 Definitely a big CC for an Aquasport. 8)
