Aquasport 150?
« on: September 29, 2014, 10:18:05 AM »
Can't find info regarding this model.  Spotted on a walk around Great Pond in Falmouth, MA.

Anybody have experience with this boat? Looks like a fun ride.

Looks like a Del Quay aquasport. Not a real Aquasport, just borrowed the name.

Made in the UK not Canada.

I'm thinking of Laval.

Thanks for the info all... Looks like a Whaler...  Was there any fight over using Aquasport graphics...?  Seems like blatant infringement...

The graphics are to dead on to be used without permission.  Even the font for the boat size (150) is spot on.  There had to be some sort of a marketing cooperation going on that allowed Dell Quay to sell boats thru Aquasport dealers or something like that.  I'd love to see some old sales literature on them.

Yes, me, too.  Seeing the graphics, there was no question that it was an Aquasport.  I'll keep digging... Thanks for all the info...

There's not much out there, Rich.  Made by the Fletcher Boat Company in England, and you can certainly see that their dory models are indeed the Dell Quays, but I couldn't find any affiliation with AS...

Thanks, Bob, and Rick, shouldn't you be working on your rebuild (which I am in awe of)? Ha! :cheers:
