Welcome back Robob!

[Capt. Bob]

Indeed, welcome back.

Did you ever get a trolling motor mounted to your 175?

[Robob]

No. I got away from boating for awhile. Am now looking for a bow mount quick release Minn Kota Riptide.

Think I need a 12 volt 55 lbs. thrust 52 inch shaft. A new one is about $600 so I want to try to find a decent used one. Maybe somebody is moving up in voltage or thrust and will part with one Cheap:-) Cash, of course:-)

I live in northeast St. Pete. but don't mind some driving for a good deal.

Hi My name is Rick.

I own a sixties 1966(maybe) 222 Osprey as far as I can identify it.  I bought it from a salvage yard a few years ago and I'm turning it into a camping and swimming platform for myself, my college age daughters and their friends.  Ive done all the work myself, glass, steel, canvas, design, etc... Would enjoy meeting others who might like to do the same.

Hi all, Just found this site. I have a 1974 19-6 with a 150 XR4 merc. What a great combo! Trying to decide how far I want to go with a rebuild. She is in pretty good shape and could use a new paint job and a little bit of fiberglass work. She is a tough old thing. Almost got rid of her about 9 years ago but repowerd instead. Looking at some of the rebuilds in here I am ready to tear into her!LOL Link to a few pics.

Hi everyone, my name is Robert.

I purchased this 1975 19'6" family fisherman Aquasport a year ago from a guy who had it resting in his backyard for over 15 years.  I have been cleaning and fixing things on it ever since.  It has the original 115 Hp Evinrude and it runs great.  I live in West Palm Beach, FL.  Hope to see you on the water sometime.

[Capt. Bob]

Welcome aboard Robert.

Great looking boat.

I own a 1999 245 Osprey powered by a 2006 250Etec. I like fishing, diving, hunting and sports. I look forward to reading all about everyones adventures on their Aquasports. Mine has always been in my family my uncle bought it with a 1999 evinrude 225 originally and repowered in 2006 with the 250 etec. Best thing he ever did, boat ran great before runs like a dream now. I have since bought it from him roughly about 3 yrs ago due to the fact that he was medically unable to boat any more. Stay tuned for pictures. i have since updated a lot, in the next week i will be adding the underwater LED lights, pictures to come. can someone please show me how to add pictures from a MAC... lol... thanks...
