Stop Lurking and Start Posting!! Introduce Yourself Here!

[dra7]

Folks,
Just bought a 1976 Aquasport 19-6 cuddy cabin and thought I would join the group.  She's got a 140hp Evanrude and a Mariner 8hp trolling motor.  I live north of Detroit and will be turning 62 in Feb next year.  Looking forward to spending many wonderful hours fishing the many lakes we have in this wonderful state of Michigan.  One thing I need help on is where do the battery/s go???  The previous owner had them in a wood box by the transom and I know this can not be right.

Best Regards, Dave

Welcome aboard Dave.
Nice intro.

Post up a pic or two of your craft and lets see if we can get you some help with the battery locates.

Hello all

Been a LONG time lurker as you can see by my sign up date.  From Lakeland FL  been in the marine industry for over 27 yrs as a mechanic.  I'm getting ready to start my 2cd rebuild, this one is a 1981 Proline 24 Flatback.  Hopefully you don'tmind me posing questions and posting pics as it progresses.  First rebuild was just a 14' Stumpnocker but it came out well and the kids and I got a lot of use out of it.  It's just too small now.  This is a ink to photobucket for the build on it

Initial photos of the Proline are in the gallery, but here are a couple to start.






Thank you

Loye,
While you've been on board for a good while you still get a    for a nice intro.
By all means, post your rebuild progress and avail yourself of a wealth of experience and knowledge the Forum has collected over the years and feel free to add to that database.

You'll find (if you have never noticed ) a sub forum in the rebuild section for any type of rebuild so start a thread and posts up those pics.

Good luck.

Welcome aboard Capt. John

Nice lookin' craft there.
You've got the hard part down in getting your pics in your Gallery. The rest is clear sailing, well sometimes anyway.
What you experienced is a server/modem timeout we have no control over.
The key here is persistence. The error message you received is due to the timeout not allowing all the data to be transmitted. The image is sized correctly (the Gallery does that automatically) so....
Depending on the time you transfer your photo from the Gallery to your post, you may have to try multiple times (keep hitting submit after each error message). I posted the photo in your post from your Gallery. Did it on the first try from my phone. This isn't always the case but the word on the street is their best man is working on it. :|

Here's another.

[Capt John]

Thanks Capt. Bob for helping me out there and for the advice I'll try for more pics at a later date.

Capt. John - big blocks or small blocks in your 290?  Or diesels?

I'm Matt

Just recently bought my first aquasport (third boat). It is a 1973 170 in good condition. Mid way through the restoration mostly cosmetics and electrical left to do. From Long Island Suffolk county. Will post pictures or restoration and am looking forward to some great information, experience and input.

[Capt. Bob]

Welcome aboard Matt.

By all means, post up a few pics.

Glad to be here. Maybe someone can help me, Im trying to post some pictures in the rebuild discussion forum but all the photos are on my iPhone. It is saying the photos are too big even when i choose the smallest resolution size. Has anyone found a way around this? Should I email them to a desktop than post from there? Thanks!

You can upload directly from your phone....or you can e-mail to a laptop or PC. Either way, you'll first need to upload to our Photo Gallery here.

Here's a start.....and thanks for joining

Returning member here.  Joined when I had a 1988 17' Aqua.  Now returning with a 1971 222 Flatty.  Tons of work to do.

Here is the boat I am rescuing from mullet service.  You're seeing that right, it has no factory cap.
