Cool - who is doing the motor / JP?

[BowMovements]

Thanks for the welcome guys.  Apparently this boat has a high transom already, contrary to the transom I have been hearing about being low.  The transom is nearly as tall as the two stern storage lockers.  Therefore, I don't think the jack plate will be a problem.  The merc shown in that photo is a 25" shaft and mounted directly to the transom.

My buddy George up in NPR area is a OMC/Bombardier Master Tech and he is doing the work for me.

whens the motor going to be done?

[BowMovements]

I'm hoping by the end of this weekend but it will probably be a little longer than that, unfortunately.  I don't want to push him.  Would rather have it done right.

Hello everyone my name is Chris and this is my first post.....it was actually surprisingly nice to see a site dedicated to aquasports!....i thought maybe it would be a good first post to show yall my 1988 aquasport 170 striper....i'm the second owner to this baby...she was well taken cared of by the last owner....she has a 115 suzuki which is pretty dialed for it's age....i loaded the boat with a 80lb thrust great white motorguide trolling motor which moves her great!!...especially when you're fishing boilers or breakwalls with big swell...well i hope you like her! thanks

Nice Rig!!  Mine is an '87 222 Osprey, so I'm partial to this era of Aquasports.

[ANTIBLING]

Welcome home...... The 170 club keeps on growing.

[Undertow2]

If we do a tug of war at the gathering it should be 170 owners against the 22-2 guys.  The 170's are nice but size does matter....

Welcome on Ruffnext, very nice clean boat looks like a cream puff find.

Welcome aboard RN :!:  :!:

Hey Guys,

I have been checking out this sight for a while now and have seen every picture in the "Photo Gallery".  Damn ya'll have some nice boats.  I have also read LilRichard's "1971 Flatback" rebuild, along with a bunch of the others, and I can't wait for you to finish!!!

I have found an Aquasport 19-6, with a Mariner 150, on some property under a shed.  I was wondering how rare the 19-6 is and how I can tell what year it might be?  I can't find a whole lot of information anywhere, it looks just like the picture here:

 http://www.classicaquasport.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=2834&title=as-all-models-brochu&cat=568

It has the vent and I am guessing it is a 1974.  Any reason there are not more of the 19-6 owners?  Another questions is, what are the chances that the boat is solid and it does not need a new transom and new stringers which it seems everyone does?  Also what are the performance specs. of the 19-6 with the 150 Mariner?  Top end, gas mileage, cruise, and how dry and smooth is this boat?  It is not a flatback.  I currently own an aluminum 19' Custom Flats with an Evinrude  115, which I love, but looking for something with a  little smoother ride.  My father used to own an Aquasport, not sure what size, but we used to go offshore, probably a 20 or 22, 1970 something.  Sorry for the long post.  Any information on the 19-6's would be appreciated and I really enjoy the sight.

Thanks,

DoubleL
