Welcome aboard to CSR, Wayne and Eric.

Hello Everyone!  I just purchased my first Aquasport, a 1987 170 with a 2001 Johnson 90.  I recently discovered you guys before I bought the boat.  It's in good shape, floors are solid.  This is my first boat purchase as an adult (out of college, not really an adult  :pirat: ).  I'd like use this boat as-is for a couple summers while learning to glass on some small gel coat cracks here-and-there.  Trailer needs some work this weekend.  Overall I'm a novice when it comes to boat repairs and maintenance - and of course a beginner with Aquasports!  I'm here and eager to learn.  I took tons of pictures and successfully uploaded them to my gallery but it seems that it's never "possible to determine the dimensions of the image".

Thanks Fellas!

Welcome aboard LC.

That's a very familiar hull model to me. Had a lot of good times with it. The 90 is a nice fit and skinny water is easily done.

Thanks for the pics, oh and....

Persistence pays.

Hi guys,

Since 99.9% of you don't know me, I"ll do a quick intro. I'm Avish and I'm the CEO of Evolucix (http://www.evolucix.com). I'm the one who did the entire migration of the forum and gallery, etc. from the old server to the new servers that we at Evolucix host. So if you have any problems, just shoot me a PM! Also, if you're in need of anything hosting related or website design/development related, please let me know! I'd be happy to help.

More personally, I'm actually only 20 years old - most of you guys are much older than me I'm guessing! I'm currently in college, studying at Ohio State, pursuing a major in Biology/Pre-Med and minor in Computer Science.

On the topic of more this forum, I don't own a boat or anything. I live out in north-east Ohio, so can't use a boat that many months out of the year out here.

Anyways, let me know if I can do anything for you guys.

Cheers,
Avish

My youngest son is older than you.

Welcome aboard Avish!

You have done a terrific, expedient job, and we are very appreciative. It is wonderful to have an IT specialist as member...and don't worry, if there are any questions or concerns you'll be the first to know

Congrats on your studies at OSU. Great school, great academics, great sports...a real-deal college experience.

Yes, you are one of our younger members. Some us are sorta old, not elderly or geriatric yet, maybe a little chubby though. Guess your dad may be around some of our ages.

Don't worry about a boat. We have plenty of boats, come to any of our towns, we'll take you for a spin

Thanks again for a great job, and your membership and participation here

im soo happy to finally be a member of this site , soo from reading countless threads im not as bad off as i originally thought ,seems i am somewhat normal .i caught aquasport flatback fever a year ago . my wife and i purchased what we want to call a investment for our young growing family , we have decided to be a boating family. fishing ,scalloping, snorkeling ,and nice evening boat rides have always been things that we enjoied doing together. we purchased a 1970 222 flatback aquasport a year ago.we bought the boat knowing it had issues like a soft floor and a cracked right stringer .long story short i have been reading up on repairing our investment into a our dream family boat. i have no fiberglass experience myself but have several aquaintances whom work in the field and who are going to walk me through the process thankfully . i have learned there are a few ways to go about rebuilding the boat and lots of different opinions as well. since our plans are for having the boat forever we are going the composite route. currently we are saving cash to buy the materials out of pocket then one day put it all together

Hello Everyone,
My name is Carson, I live in St. Petersburg, Florida. I have been checking out the forums for a few months now and am happy to now be a member. I have a 1986 250 CCP that I plan to rebuild this winter and will need help and advice from you all. I will be posting pictures of my boat and the process in a few months. Hope to talk soon!!

[Capt. Bob]

Welcome aboard to both Luke and Carson.  

Luke, you can place photos(rather than attachments for downloading) in your posts via a third party (like Photo Bucket) or our Photo Gallery. With the latest update, the graphics/fonts/colors have changed slightly but the method is the same.

Carson, you picked a great time to start a rebuild of a 250. If per chance you haven't seen this, there is a highly detailed one underway in the Rebuild forum as we type.

Good luck to you both.
