Stop Lurking and Start Posting!! Introduce Yourself Here!

Excellent!  Thanks a bunch.  From what I've see of the variations available around that time, that's what I was leaning toward it being.

Hello....Im Vince.  Im a functional workaholic. Ive mostly worked with cars all my life and lost count several years ago at around 150. Im only 35. I get bored once the work is done and there is nothing left to do. In the last two years I have gotten into older boats. My first was a 1980 Cruisers Inc Beachcomber 206. I have recently picked up a late 60s 22-2 flatback that I am about to start on. I have already gained a large wealth of knowledge in one afternoon on here about my new toy. I hope to be able to post pix along the way and hope that it doesnt take 5yrs to finish it!

Welcome aboard Vince.
Nice intro and we look forward to those pics.

Good luck.

Welcome aboard Eric.

230 Cat eh? I gotta look that up.

Please post a few pics of the beast. We certainly haven't seen a whole lot of those around here.

Good luck.

Hi Everybody,

My name is Chris, and I am into my 4rth season of owning a '96 Osprey 175 - with an '07 Nissan TLDI 90. I grew up on Cape Cod in Orleans, and spent many a summer boating with family and friends, mostly on boats of similar size & nature. We keep the boat at my parents house (the house I grew up in) and launch out of Orleans pretty much weekly during summer months. I know the waters of Pleasant Bay and through-out the Chatham intercoastal area really well, since I've been boating in these waters for most of my life. I've been slowly updating the 175; 'took it all apart last winter and re-did fuel tank and all electrics. It has a T-Top and my project this summer has been to give the trailer new springs, tires etc, and re-wire. I dream of getting the gel coat back to pristine, but it's not in the budget right now.
I do need to find a source for OEM cushions and would love to find a source for those stern compartment plastic inserts if anyone knows of any.

Heading out this weekend since the Striper action is picking up (and commercial boats are long gone)...

Welcome aboard CP.

Don't know that you'll find the exact OEM cushions. Seems that subject has been broached before. Most seem to have them remade by a local vendor but hopefully someone will respond on that. Same on the rear covers.

I suggest you start a new thread in the Aqua Discussion forum for a better chance at a response.

Keep posting of pics though. We love the Aqua porn.

New to forum and I just purchased a 1999 215 DC. Not new to boats but new to this one. I'm sure to have a few questions for you.

I looked for a few months for this model. It suits my needs the best.

Welcome aboard Roy

Questions, ask away.

[seabob4]

Besides the 245/250 Osprey, the original 215 DC is my favorite AS!  Well done sir!

Wired a few of them in my day so I may be of some assistance.  Bet you'll be asking about fishbox drainage soon...  

And I'm just up the road from you!

[Capt. Bob]

Welcome aboard Roy.

Start a thread in whatever forum best fits and post up a pic or two of the 215 and ask away.

Good luck.

I actually bought the boat in Hernando Beach just up the street from you.  I also go to the Bayport Inn several times a year to eat.

Did a lot of fishing off Weeki Wachee about 30 years ago. A friend of mine his parents had a house on the Weeki Wachee river and owned a 21 Mako.  Another friend of mine had a 19.6 Aquasport we would launch at Rogers Park boat ramp.
