Stop Lurking and Start Posting!! Introduce Yourself Here!

Hello all, lfj344 here to introduce myself. I just picked up a '92 230 explorer and found this site while surfing for info on it. I think its going to be a great boat for me and the family to enjoy. I am really looking forward to getting it in the water this weekend considering its been at the mechanics house for a month now getting the motor up to par but thats all part of owning a boat. It's an all original '92 with the original motor being a 225 Johnson with only about 50 hours and the mechanic verified that the P/O wasn't just saying that to get rid of the boat. Hopefully after he is  done I will have a solid strong running boat with the most labor intensive part being a good scrubbing and waxing after sitting since '06. I already have a trip planned to go down the ICW for an overnight trip from Chesapeake Bay to NC and back to break it in.

You going to run the ditch through the Great Dismal Swamp?  That's a pretty cool trip!

Here is my boat that I just bought for 2K in Sarasota, fl. I got it from the original owners from 1997. They were an older couple who's trees I've trimmed for 10 years. The husband started to lose his sight, so they decided to sell and I happened to be at the right place at the right time. It was kept at a dry slip in a marina for most of it's life. I had to go buy a trailer for it which ran me 750. After replacing bunk brackets, registering trailer and boat, and buying some tires, I am 3200 into the boat all together and I couldn't be happier.

Welcome aboard!!  Looks like you and 86 aqua are working on twins!  Keep us updated please!

That 191 sure has some nice lines and the way you have her blocked up shows how she'll be sitting in the water when you're done.  Welcome aboard Austin.

I know that boat ,  I need to get with you and take a bunch of measurements. There is not a lot of info on that hull. I think we need to document it really good before destruction if you don't mind.  

Check your PM's

And Lewis, he is in North Port just up the road, but hey you know where that is from me  :alien:

Kevin and I were talking about the 19-1, and seeing this pic....it looks like the same prow lines as a flatback  

Good-looking ride!
