hi guys I just joined the forum. Name is Miguel Hernandez 32yrs old, I live and work in Miami,fl however spend most of my weekends down in the florida Keys, everyone calls me Mike or Blizzymike. 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...

Hello folks- found this forum when I was researching a boat I was considering buying; a 17 Aquasport CC. I pulled the trigger on the boat and it is coming home with me next week. It is supposed to be a 1979 model, but its hull identification number has a 74 sequence, so I think it is a 74 model, but I don't care.  The hull is in great shape-solid and the transom is rock solid- some soft spots in the floor near the right side of the console and right behind the console.  The 70 hp Johnson engine is shot so I am re powering- looking for a good two stroke 90 HP engine.

I have done this once before some thirty years ago with a Stamas Clearwater that got caught under the edge of the dock on a rising tide and sank. I salvaged that boat and rebuilt everything. Kept it for years- a nasty divorce forced me to sell all my toys..so I am coming into this knowing that the boat will need a lot more work than what you think it will take.

I live in Southern Maryland just outside Waldorf, married Father of three grown men and a teenage Daughter and am 67 years old. I love to varmint hunt and fish. I kayak fish out of a Hobie Outback. In fact, I just got in a few minutes ago from a fishing trip at Point Lookout. Been kayak fishing for three years and love it.
Looking forward to put the Aquasport back in fishing shape and getting it out on Chesapeake Bay.

Hi. I'm Stretch (John). I'm located in Central FL (Satellite Beach and Orlando).  I have a 1986 Aquasport Osprey 200 with a 1997 Zuk 150 that I just picked up in late July (2013). She needs some TLC, which I am just starting to apply. I'm new to fixing up boats but I am looking forward to learning and I am happy I found this site.....

Thanks for provining this forum! I am looking forward to participating here at Classicaquasport.com and I am just learning my way around. Next step will be trying to figure out how to upload a pic of my boat below my signature (grin).

Hi - My name is Jerry and I recently purchased a 2001 175 Osprey Tournament Master - I'm from the Finger Lakes region of NY.  The boat is a one owner, fresh water only and I purchased it from the original Aquasport dealer that was brokering it for the owner.  So far I've added a GPS/FF and Stereo and have done some minor gel coat repair.  Overall the boat appears to be in fantastic shape and I hope to enjoy her for years to come.

[Capt. Bob]

Welcome aboard Jerry.

Proper intro and I see you've started your Member Gallery.

[MacCTD]

Hi my name is Mac, I do not currently own a Aquasport but I am considering a 17' for use in Maine on a lake.
I live in MA north of Boston and have had a few boats over the last 30 years. Currently I have a Pacific 1925 which I use in the ocean.

[Capt. Bob]

Welcome aboard Mac.

Huge cult following of the 170 model here (owned one myself). Plenty of info (Photo Gallery documentation is a great place to start) from the early models all the way up to last 175s made.

Hey, I'm Jay.  I just bought a 1969 Aquasport Osprey 19.1 and put it in the water this week here in Woods Hole on Cape Cod.  It's fun already.  I'm interested to learn more about the boat here, and glad this place exists.

Just posted a couple of photos here:
