Lurker here.
I have a Aquasport 250 XF that has been in the family since it was new. 1986 I believe.

Mile Marker.
I assumed you resided down there.

I never lived there but spent a good deal of my life in the Keys. I kept my CCP in Plantation Key (MM 91), ate a few meals at Marker 88 (MM 88 duh), nose broke at Woody's (before it went topless, MM 82) Had a business card at the Tike Bar in Holiday Isle before it was famous (MM 84) and bought a T shirt for a number of different "friends" at "7 Mile Grill" (MM 47/48). Too many other places to bore the Forum with in the middle Keys. I miss it tremendously. MM

Ohhh. Yes, not that far away from there.  Roughly 103, just in key largo.  All that sounds like before my time...  :jocolor: but the place has changed a lot even so.  Only constants there are the Caribbean club and the african queen...

I have all the original pricing and rigging receipts for the boat, eventually ill get around to scanning them.  She runs great, but is about to get a new deck.  The walk around deck is soft and cracked letting water into the cabin.

Great. We are always looking for collateral on any model Aqua for our files. Start a fresh thread in the Rebuild forum when you begin your project.

Name is Gary. I live in NJ and I am a new to the Aquasport family. I always liked the style. I have had many many boats in my life from classic makos to privateers to duskys. We bought our new ride to replace a nightmare (actually beautiful hull 1982 Clearwater) that we redid from an empty hull only to get hit by sandy and lose the title before we could transfer it...Anyway we now have a ready to run(NOT) 1976 22 inboard. I am going to patch the deck up at the stern floor hatch and use the crap out of it for the spring/summer/fall before we tear her apart for my new winter project. I do not believe that I will rebuild to the level of some that I have seen here I just wont have that kind of time or patience. I did a search for 22 inboard and did not come up with much. Do most of you folks run OB? I was turned onto IB because I am just sooooo tired of dealing with outboards. Whats the opinion of the IB..pros cons...Looks like I found the right site to lurk..Thank you all for the in depth how to with lots of pictures.

[Capt. Bob]

Welcome aboard Gary.

Proper intro and good luck with your "new to you" Aqua.

Yep, as far as I can tell, most here run outboards. Over the years outboards have evolved into an easy to use, somewhat fuel efficient powerplant for small and even medium boats. Easy to install, maintain and change, they offer a much broader range of power options to choose from and can be easily trimmed for use in the shallow waters along the coast.

Here's a little reading from an old member with your model (I believe)

Hey ya'll!

I'm hoping to become a boat-owning part of this crew soon. I'm about to post a few pictures of a boat I'm going to see next weekend.

I'm a long-time forum guy, never been a huge contributor but I do have a HUGE appreciation for the information that is so generously shared on forums of all kinds. Thanks to all of you for the knowledge I've already gained by browsing here for the past few days.

My name's George, and I'm currently addicted to reading about aquasport rebuilds. Nice to meet you.
