Welcome aboard Jay.

A rather unique looking rub rail for an Aqua.

Hello!
 Ben Boada here.  Been working on a 79 (I think) Aquasport 22-2 FF I/O.  Was just looking for some feedback here and there and figured it was time to get involved in the classic Aquasport crew.  This is my second boat.  First was a nice little 1984 closed bow 4 winns that my wife and I fished all over the fishers and long island sounds.  I sold it for what I paid for it and now have the 22-2 which was given to me for free.  I bought a used trailer and a 470 Mercruiser with 182 "hours" on it for 1200.00.  The motor ran with a little help and is now in the boat.  I am so close I can feel the spray on my face.  I am looking forward to feedback from what sounds like a very educated and enthusiastic crew of guys passionate about the Aquasport brand.

Welcome aboard Ben.
Nice intro.
Yes, a lot of Aqua Zealots here. We like our pics too so post up a few of your craft when you get a chance.

Hello all,

New used Aqasport 245 owner.  Boat has been a project thus far. Boat has not run in 4 years and my first project was pumping out 90 gal of fuel. Broke my heart at today's prices. I look forward to gathering as much info as possible. I will need help with the rub rail, already another post.  Anyway, hope there are some of you in the Annapolis area to hang with.  

Keep the blue side up! (Aviator/Sailor)

Hey everyone, happy to have found this forum as i am a two year owner of a beautiful 2004 275 explorer. Out of all the boats i have yet had the pleasure of owning (this is #5) this is by far the best.  Hope to share soome stories and give and get feedback on anyting to do with my hull.  I am using twin 200 evinrudes to push her.  Have 3 kids that love going on the boat and its pretty enough for my wife to come once in a while  :queen: .  i have pretty much taken the boat apart and put it back together for the fun of it (and some repairs) so if anyone has any questions i would be more than happy to share my experiences. I also keep a tight log on all engine stats and fuel burn if anyone needs that sort of detail. I have a few surprises i ran into this year I will share on the main board.

Welcome aboard Steve.  
Nice intro. Good to have a 275 owner on the Forum.
Post up some pics when you get a chance. We don't see a lot of this model first hand.

Good luck.

Thanks for the welcome guys.
I had the boat for a few years and finally decided to do some TLC and put it in the water this year.
Handles great in the water.
