Hello, my name is Mike, my wife, Dena and I have a 1998 Aquasport 165 Striper with a 50hp Johnson SPL. We really enjoy her. It is an awesome boat for us to fish and cruise on. Great, dry ride. She was a mess when we got her but, with some time and effort, we're pretty proud of her now! We frequent the inter coastal and the St.Johns River here in Central Florida. Thanks for adding me! I added pictures of our Aquasport to the members gallery, now to figure out how to get them on my posts!

Thanks! It's a great boat. We have used it to fish the flats and gone through Ponce Inlet to Disappearing Island. Very versatile boat. I am officially hooked on Aquasports!


First one's free. :mrgreen:

Call me Blind Boy!!! NE Ohio and a Lake Erie enthusiast. I am new to the group. Purchased a 1976 Aquasport 22-2 CC. I am interested to hear from any other owners of this model regarding performance or any other pertinent facts or opinion. I have not had her in the water as of yet but am excited to try her out. She has twin 70 OB's on her and is set up to fish. Thanks for letting me a part of the group!! BB :D

They run really well. It is not a deep V, so just lope her along. Let the sea condition dictate how she'll run...."A boat for every sea and a sea for every boat."

Hi all,

My name is Travis, I'm from Vancouver island BC Canada. I'm a welder/ fabricator specializing in Aluminium boats. I'm in the process of buying a 230 Explorer hard top. I've had smaller boats all my life it's time to step up a bit.

Just a preemptive thank you for all the questions to follow.

Welcome Travis  :)  

I've towed my Aquasport over that Island many times.
Great choice on the 230 Explorer.   :thumleft:  That's the hull I would like to get some day.

Hello everyone, wanted to introduce myself...I live in Ocala, have purchased a very nice 2002 Aquasport 250 Osprey for a great price that has twin Yamaha ox66's on the back...this is my 4th boat over the years and by far the most comfortable for my needs....over the years things change....first the speed and a Baja Outlaw, then a deck boat, then a walkaround and now a nice center console for diving and fishing....I am glad to have it and glad to be part of the forums.

From one new explorer owner to another--welcome :salut:   However, times two on posting pictures.


I have posted some pics to the boat I got....let me know what you folks think....it sure is a nice vessel and handles GREAT...been fixing the little things that always seem to get neglected over the past month and making sure its ready for the summer, now that the warm temps and the rain is gone, looking forward to spending time on it diving and fishing, no doubt about that.
