1978 Aquasport 222 Family Fisherman -- FOR SALE
Featured on Florida Sportsman’s Project Dreamboat TV Series
This boat needs nothing; absolutely TURN-Key. Bring your drinks, food and friends and head out on the water. I spent $14,000 and tens of hours upgrading the boat over the last winter. You will not find a nicer 222 FF, currently, as this one. What you see pictured is what you get, all of it! This boat will not last.
I originally completed this restoration to have as a boat for my son to use and keep, however other boating opportunities have been made available to us and as much as I want to keep this boat, it is time for someone else and their family to enjoy this boat as much as we have. I DO NOT need to sell this boat and WILL NOT just sell this boat to anyone who can write a check. I am looking for someone who knows how special these old Aquasport’s are and someone who will appreciate its ride, and its comforts with their family.
So, PLEASE, no crazy low offers. I am very aware of this boat’s value and feel I have marketed this boat at a fair price for its condition and features. Offers are welcome, please, just not ridiculous ones.
Oh, and one other thing….You can tell your wife there is a brand new head down the cabin!
This boat was featured of an episode of Florida Sportsman’s: Project Dreamboat series. Click on the Youtube link below to watch the episode. It details my project, most questions can be answered by watching.
