1976 17'0"

[TooLoose]

Hey Guys,

Unfortunately I'm looking to sell my 1976 17'0" Osprey. Im located in Tampa Bay and open to answering any/all questions at 404-625- 510seven. I'll work on adding pictures to the add or could easily send via text. Also, here is the ad on Craigslist [https://tampa.craigslist.org/pnl/boa/d/largo-1976-aquasport-170-osprey/7350353664.html]

The boat was completely restored by the previous owner, included everything: fuel tank, center console, electrical wiring, plumbing, pumps, gauges, stereo, marine radio, custom lean-post live-well, Yamaha 115, swim ladder, Birdsail rod-holders, bimini top, etc.

I did additional work in May of 2020. 
•   All the hatches re-cored and fiberglassed;
•   The rigging tray from the console to transom (original design) was removed and a 2” rigging tube installed
•   Entire starboard side of the boat re-cored and fiberglassed
•   The entire deck was sprayed with Alwgrip non-skid
•   9x12 electronic Lenco trim tabs installed
•   New fuel lines and throttle cables
•   New PowerTech SDC3 17 prop

The original owner stored the boat in an air conditioned detached garage. I currently store it completely covered in my garage. The boat is flushed, washed, and dried (hull, boat, and bulkheads) after each use. Also, only non-ethanol fuel has ever been used. Boat is in great condition and everything works perfectly.

Asking $17,500; make an offer. In no rush to sell and will continue to use the boat.

Good looking rig...I'm sure the right buyer will swoop it up sooner than later.  Btw....I see you have a thru-hull bait well pickup.  Curious...where is the thru-hull outflow directed?

[TooLoose]

Thanks, Jason. I may be just as happy if it doesn't sell - love this boat. Growing family, just looking for something a little bigger - maybe a 19'6.
If looking at the picture of the bulkhead, the outflow is the black tube on the right hand side. Pickup is through a clam-shell on the bottom of the hull and the outflow is in the transom.

Nice!...so the thru-hull outflow is below the waterline with a one-way valve??

[TooLoose]

Yes, that’s correct… the livewell drains out a standpipe to an outflow in the transom below the waterline. There is a manual open/close value for the outflow in the bulkhead.
