The Aquasport Boat Club, which I've been told is actually the site for us with these newer Aquasports.

Actually, we tend to ostracize owners of 2006 and newer Aquas.

Funny thing though, they keep trying to disguise these new models as rebuilt oldies. :mrgreen:

So yes, you've been told correctly. :wink:

she looks exactly like a boat that was being sold locally.

Here's the one near me.



 The arch on your boat looked familiar; also, this boat is actually a 245.  I forgot about the name on the side.

Your sig pics are small (duh) and very hard to see for a senior citizen.


Did you change the console and re-stripe that 170? :scratch:

Bought it that way, thought the console looked original. :scratch:  and I suspected a paint job and some work could have been done sometime, mainly because it has very solid floors, very solid transom and looks good cleaned up. Teak seems to be all there, just weathered. I really want to try to keep it as original looking as I can. Here is a pic from when I first looked at it, before I traded my 10ft Caribe for it. Same pic but bigger  :shock: It had sat under a trash oak for about 6 months, indoors prior to that. Let me know if it needs to be bigger.  :mrgreen:

Hey everybody!

New to the forum.

My name is Mike, 20 years old, college student, live in Maryland near the Chesapeake, been fishing/boating for my whole life.

Recently bought my first boat! 1972 Aquasport 19'6

It's been in storage for 35 years...everything is original! Got the boat, trailer, and 1995 Mercury 75hp for $1500   :D

I know... a steal right? I recently cleaned it up and painted it navy blue, outfitted it with a leaning post and added some new goodies here and there. Boat is almost done! I have had so much fun with this restore, and I've been attached to this boat ever since I bought it.

Well, that's my story in a nut shell  :thumright:  Looking forward to seeing some cool builds, and boat porn as I continue to check this forum!

Good Morning guys/girls. My name is john i live in Tampa,fl. and im in the process of buying a 2005 Aquasport 270 Explorer. My search at the beginning was a Wellcraft Coastal model but none of them had Yamahas 4 strokes so in the look i ended up loving the 270 Explorer, has a wide beam and after researching i've decided for the Aquasport. The one im buying belongs to a Proffesional and open check book owner,i met the mechanic and captain of this boat and he assured me this owner didnt spared money to it, she has many upgrades from ice maker, generator,  electric folding hard top, even a mist unit to keep you fresh during the trip. I cant disclose where this boat is located but is in a well located and beautiful place. Please write me some words im planning a trip to Bimini this coming June for the 1st time and looking to meet mariners and boaters, thanks for the time moderator.

john
