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.

Sweet! Do we have another flatback rebuild about to happen?

I'm not going full bore.  The floor, stringers and transom were already done.  I am just adding a center console, new power, some awlgrip, etc.  Utilitarian fisher.

That's a 90hp ETEC he had on there.  Its already off and I will be going with a rebuilt 200hp Yamaha Saltwater Series II (hopefully).

The 90 ETEC is for sale but needs work.

Hey,
My name is Kevin and I'm in Port Charlotte. I picked up a 1986 200 Osprey and it has a hole in the bottom between a stringer. Doing a complete rebuild . Found this site and like what I see. I just completed a re-power (rebuilt entire motor) and rewire on a 1989 17' ActionCraft, pulled 4 harnesses out along with mucho faulty wires. (Surprised there was no fire in the past.) My family always had Aquasport's and still do. Just love the boat so I needed my own. I like the fact that a lot of people are close by in the surrounding counties for help should the need arise for anything.

Wife also likes going out on it and fishing so that helps with as she puts it "New Woman" as they (boats) always needs money.....

Hi Garrett,

welcome aboard, bro....What's wrong with your girl?

cant wait to tear into it

...and P.L.E.A.S.E. take the time/effort to learn how to post photos so we can all follow along.  We all learn from each other, and photos generate interest as well as clarify conditions, so please oblige us (and yourself)!

Public Relations Announcement


Your Public Relations Team requests your help in the 2014 Classic Aquasport Membership Drive!

The continuation and success of any entity depends on new blood. Existing members sell their boats, lose interest, etc. So those of you that would like to join....we really encourage you to do just that! And we also encourage you to participate! The old-timers don't have all the answers. Many of you are experienced in businesses, industries, etc. that can offer direct bearing and impact to solutions needed here. We would like and need your input! And please don't be shy....there are no wrong answers, embarrassing answers. You will not find the back-biting, snide remarks, holier-than-thou attitudes here at Classic Aquasport. We are brothers working towards a common goal....the enjoyment of these great boats!

When you see fellow Aquasporters out on the water, at the gas station, car wash, etc....please tell them about our club, and encourage them to join!  Many of us have become great friends, and really enjoy our reunions and get-togethers. We will be making a concerted effort to establish new reunions...those of you in the northeast, we ask you especially to plan a reunion this year. We feel you will find this to be a great time, enjoyable and rewarding. Plus, you'll eat great too!

Thanks everyone for your help!  We look forward to your participation!!

To add to what Scott has said, we also need to re-invigorate our current but inactive members - they have "been there, done that" and unfortunately don't contribute much anymore.  If you know one of these members kick 'em in the pants and ask them to come back.

A guest appearance from Ms Aquasport would help re-invigorate
