1981 Aquasport 170 rebuild in Sweden

[Capt. Bob]

Looking good Lars.
What more can one say?

Still......
Maybe next year you can take the rub rail back off and re-polish the screws.

Good luck.

Best looking Aquasport in Sweden. How did it originally end up there? Just picked one up 2600 miles away but yours beat that out. Great job

I have no idea how my boat ended up in Sweden. I bought it as a project boat north of Gothenburg in Sweden. I loved the shape of it, and was very happy to find this great community to help me restore it.

Thanks,

Lars

Looks great Lars!!

Thanks RickK!

It's getting there. I hope to launch this weekend. I'm working on a pretty big house improvement project of our 290 year old house. Been digging and replacing drain pipes and water mains for the last 3 days. Will backfill tomorrow... I can't wait...

Thanks,

Lars

Thanks Captain Bob!

It's been bugging me that I have had 3 grey colors on the boat. I managed to get hold of a grey topcoat, that matches what I have on the insides of my boat. It sure looks a lot nicer now.

Thanks,

Lars

Ordered these for my boat. Will install in the spring.

I have been looking at them for several years. Finally hit the buy button.
Will be a cool upgrade for next season.

I got my Aquasport 170 badges tonight!
Great quality!

These look great. I’m going to see if he can do some for a 175. Thanks for the idea.

Looks nice and crisp Lars

[larsli68]

Yes, I can't wait to install it on my boat.

Stay safe in these weird times.

Polished the hull today. Will do inner liner tomorrow. I will also attempt to install the new Aquasport 170 3D decals.

Hi Lars, looking good as usual.  I don't remember that blueish water line.

[larsli68]

Hello Rick,

It's the cupper in the antifouling paint, that turns that bluish color. I have not painted the bottom yet.
Removed the old stickers today, finished the polishing, will wax this week (in the boat shed).
Hope to install the new 3D stickers later this week.
I hope all is good with you. No vaccine for us yet. But hopefully only weeks away now.

Ahhh, the copper. Makes perfect sense.
